History of Hemp in America

Disclaimer: Source not given. Received this information in a Facebook entry. Seems accurate though.

The year is 1914. The years of WWI and the farmers who cultivated "hemp" in exchange for US dollars... Keep this in mind and keep reading.

Industrial hemp is not just an agricultural plant.
It's the antidote to oil and the dollar.

HOW WAS HEMP PROHIBITED?

1. One acre of hemp produces as much oxygen as 25 acres of forest.
2. Again, one acre of hemp can produce the same amount of paper as 4 acres of trees.
3. While hemp can be turned into paper 8 times, wood can be turned into a paper 3 times.
4. Hemp grows in 4 months, wood in 20-50 years.
5. Cannabis is a real radiation trap.
6. Cannabis can be grown anywhere in the world and needs very little water. Also, as it can keep insects away, it doesn't need pesticides.
7. If textiles manufactured with hemp become generalized, the pesticide industry could completely disappear.
8. The first jeans were made with hemp; even the word "KANVAS" is the name the hemp products receive.
Hemp is also an ideal plant for manufacturing ropes, laces, purses, shoes and hats.
9. Reduces the effects of chemotherapy and radiation in the treatment of cannabis, AIDS and cancer; it is used in at least 250 diseases such as rheumatism, heart, epilepsy, asthma, stomach, insomnia, psychology and in stiffness of the spine.
10. The protein value of hemp seeds is very high and the two fatty acids they contain are nowhere else in nature.
11. Hemp is even cheaper to produce than soy.
12. Cannabis-fed animals don't need hormonal supplements.
13. All plastic products can be manufactured with hemp, and hemp plastic is very easy to return to nature.
14. If the body of a car is made of hemp, it will be 10 times stronger than steel.
15. It can also be used to insulate buildings; it is durable, cheap and flexible.
16. Soaps and cosmetics made with hemp do not pollute the water, so they are totally environmentally friendly.
In 18th-century America, its production was mandatory and the farmworkers they did not produce were imprisoned. But now the situation has turned upside down. FROM WHERE ?
-W. R. Hearst owned newspapers, magazines and media in the United States in the 1900s. They had forests and produced paper. If paper was made with hemp, he could have lost millions.
-Rockefeller was the richest man in the world. I owned an oil company. Biofuel, hemp oil, was, of course, his biggest enemy.
-Mellon was one of the leading shareholders of the company Dupont and had a patent to manufacture plastics from petroleum products. And the cannabis industry threatened its market.
Mellon later became President Hoover's Treasury Secretary. Those big names we talked about decided at their meetings that cannabis was the enemy, and they removed it. Through the media, they have engraved marijuana in people's brains as a toxic drug, along with the word marijuana.
Cannabis drugs were removed from the market, replaced by the chemical drugs used today.
Forests are cut to produce paper.
Plague poisoning and cancer are on the rise.

And then we fill our world with plastic waste, harmful waste..
