Dupont patented Nylon in 1938, a year after Hemp became illegal.

The reasons marijuana was made illegal; “makes black men look at white men in the eye”; “makes white women want to have intimate relations with blacks”; “makes Mexicans crazy and bloodthirsty”. These are actual quotes used to scare people into going a long with this travesty.

What has the US gained since prohibition of hemp/weed? Nothing! People who want to smoke weed still do it, they just go to jail for it sometimes which costs the tax payers money.

What has Dupont gained since the prohibition of hemp?

What would the oil industry lose if hemp became popular again?

Hemp was there in the past, is here in the now, and will be there in the future. Whether we wise up to use this plant for everyones benefit or not is looking unlikely. If Carter had been able to get something going with Hemp, a lot of money would have been made for american people and a lot of wars wouldn’t have happened, not to mention the health of people would be incredible.

It doesn’t matter that a mistake has been made in neglecting hemp, its whether we will learn from the mistake that will make the difference between ruin and prosperity.

This is a misleading statement since its not the sex of the plant that makes difference between marijuana and industrial hemp. Hemp can also be female plant and infact female plant is the one to produce seeds. Hemp and marijuana are actually the same thing BUT hemp is refined to produce no thc or very litle thc and maximize the seed(oil) produce and fiber produce.
