IT was William Randolph Hearst [newspaper and pulp processing...owned vast forests in Mexico], Charles Dupont [Developed processed for manufacturing paper from wood cheaply] and Andrew Mellon [financed the whole project] that got marijuanna outlawed because a new hemp thrashing machine was invented [popular mechanics article in 1938] that threatened their investment with better cheaper paper. Almost no one knew that marijuanna and hemp were the same plant till after the oil, rope and canvas makers were suddenly out of business. Turned out to be a boon for cotton and Monsanto due to all the herbicides and insecticides that cotton needs, but that wasn't the why and wherefore.
I see that Jack Herer is still around... http://www.jackherer.com/ "Eighty percent of our economy depended on CANNABIS/HEMP for paper, fiber and fuel, 125 years ago. At that time, it took 300 man-hours to harvest an acre of CANNABIS/HEMP, but with the invention of the brand new HEMP decorticator in the 1930s, it only took one & 1/2 to two hours. This is equivalent to reducing the labor burden from $6,000 down to $40 per acre, in today's money."
