Cotton farmers may have eventually been hurt, but it never got that
far.
The cotton industry of the time was burning out the land to the
point that
all that land would grow was short needle scrub pines which will grow
in
places where even grass won't due to their really deep tap roots.
Walk through most Southern Pine Forests and you can still see the
cotton
field terraces. [I live in one]
It was paper from wood pulp that did the deed with William Randolf
Hearst
in the lead.
He had just bought millions of acres of forest in Mexico when the
hemp
processing machine was invented and that threatened his newspaper
empire.
He used his empire to start a 'yellow journalism' pack of lies
propaganda
campaign keying into anti Mexican immigrant and anti Black 'job
stealer'
sentiments of the depression era and lobbied congress with an
intentional
loco-weed=marijuana twist.
Hearst "invented" a non existant problem to justify irrational fears
and
the paranoid peoples bought it wholesale.
Everyone knew what hemp was, grew it and used it for hundreds of
things,
but virtually no one used the term 'marijuana' except Blacks and
Mexicans.
It was Kentuckys major cash crop.
I have a friend whos' Dad actually emptied bags of marijuana seeds
out of
airplanes onto farm fields for a living during WW2 because Hemp was so
valuable to the military. The remnants of that Gov't campaign is now
the
legendary 'ditchweed' of the Midwest. [Smoke a ton and get a headache]
Loco-weed is really a very common weed of the Datura family [Jimson
weed]
and contains high levels of scopolamine [sleep aid..see 'sleepeaze']
and
atropine [used as a poison antidote by 'home security' etc]
Don't make a tea of loco-weed roots or seeds or you'll find out what
"trip"
really means..for several days. [as I found out many years ago]
..makes for crazy cows who eat it by accident...hence the name "loco
weed"
..lotsa fun..never ever again.
If you get poisoned, now....might be worth it. [Crazy for 3 or 4 days
beats
being dead]
What is not realized is that commercial growing of hemp would
probably
make growing high potency 'pot' impossible outdoors. They are the
same
plant, just different strains with the low potency strains dominant.

Yeh, that is a good karmic story. The main reason for stopping the
growing of
hemp was because the cotton farmers were being hurt financially by
it, it was
cheaper to grow, and replaced cotton many places. There were
varieties
that had
almost no hallucigen in it, but they still used that to outlaw it.
Then when
the synthetics replaced cotton, the cotton farmers starting crying
to be
able to
grow hemp, but they were then unable to get the law appealed that
they
originally sought. So their original greed ended up eventually
bankrupting many
if not most of them.

Train loads of coal paid for by George Westinghouse was doing

Tesla wanted to freely 'transmit' energy...like every radio

Cold fusion, if commercialized, would change the world so
radically we
can hardly comprehend the implications and ramifications. The
rapid
demise of the corrupt oil empire would be one of the first
blessings.
Those lucky few who identify the Microsoft of cold fusion
commercialization will of course become quite wealthy. But I
assume
most research at this stage is non-commercial.

I wonder whether that's correct; seems it would be big news if
so.
A quick Google did not turn up anything definitive; if anyone
knows
of something new I would be glad to hear.
Thanks in advance; I know some members follow this topic
