Marijuana Prohibition

THE TRUTH AS I HAVE LEARNED IT by Susan A. Moles
My Cannabis Research May 16, 2007

Starting with William Randolph Hearst, the newspaper journalist and U.S. Senator from 1886-1893. When William was 24 his father gave him a choice of his holdings and William choose the San Francisco Examiner, which the family had acquired years earlier for political reasons. Remember that there was no mass media as we have today. People had their newspapers and they believed everything they read. They had nothing to compare it to so they saw no reason not to believe. In the 1947 Encyclopedia Britannica under newspapers/yellow journalism, you will find quite an interesting story about Mr. Hearst. Seems he used his newspapers for his own self-interest. Mr. Hearst had some land in Mexico, which the Mexican government seized.

Keep in mind, Mr. Hearst was a bigot and if you weren’t white he hated you and he was already on record as speaking derogatory of Mexicans. He began a yellow journalism campaign against the country of Mexico running headlines such as "Marijuana- That Killer Drug From Mexico", "Those lazy marijuana smoking Mexicans." Much of our perception, even to this day, of the Mexican people is a direct result of this negative campaign. Remember that people believed what they read in the newspaper. Mr. Hearst gave us the word marijuana so individuals would not know he was talking about the cannabis they had growing out back to feed, clothe, and comfort their families. Everyone knew about hemp, but he scared them with talk of this killer drug from Mexico.

THE REAL REASON HEMP IS ILLEGAL

A media blitz of 'yellow journalism' raged in the late 1920s and 1930s. Hearst's newspapers ran stories emphasizing the horrors of marihuana. The menace of marihuana made headlines. Readers learned that it was responsible for everything from car accidents to loose morality.

Films like 'Reefer Madness' (1936), 'Marihuana: Assassin of Youth' (1935) and 'Marihuana: The Devil's Weed' (1936) were propaganda designed by these industrialists to create an enemy. Their purpose was to gain public support so that anti-marihuana laws could be passed.

How cannabis became illegal

With the help of ally Randolph Hearst, the newspaper magnate, Anslinger began a campaign of misinformation against cannabis hemp, which they renamed marijuana, playing on racism and xenophobia.

It was so effective that by 1938 the US Congress passed the Marijuana Transfer Tax Act, quite unaware that what they were banning was cannabis hemp, a plant they had been trading profitably for centuries.

Why hemp is suppressed

The reason that Hemp is illegal in America today is because the main families in America (Masons), the Harrimans and Rockefellers (Standard Oil), the Whitneys (Eli Whitney-Cotton Gin), Dupont (Chemicals in wood pulp processing and cotton pesticides), and Hearst (Newspapers, Media) find it more profitable to sell us unnecessary chemicals, unneeded dug-up petroleum oil, immune system destroying pharmaceuticals, and axed up trees cut into real thin slices, all at over-inflated prices and at the expense of our health and living environment.

For these companies, the real problem is that one cannot patent a natural plant. Almost everything produced in America by large corporations is exported for sale on the world markets. The total value of oil, petrochemicals, and pharmaceutical sales totals hundreds of billions of dollars. However, with the availability of over 50,000 new products and the necessity to manufacture them, America would be a much richer nation if the farmers and the average citizen were allowed to grow this valuable crop.

William Randolph Hearst (Citizen Kane) and the Hearst Paper Manufacturing Division of Kimberly Clark owned vast acreage of timberlands. The Hearst Company supplied most paper products. Patty Hearst's grandfather, a destroyer of nature for his own personal profit, stood to lose billions because of hemp.

In 1937, Dupont patented the processes to make plastics from oil and coal. Dupont's Annual Report urged stockholders to invest in its new petrochemical division. Synthetics such as plastics, cellophane, celluloid, methanol, nylon, rayon, Dacron, etc., could now be made from oil. Natural hemp industrialization would have ruined over 80% of Dupont's business.

THE CONSPIRACY

Andrew Mellon became Hoover's Secretary of the Treasury and Dupont's primary investor. He appointed his future nephew-in-law, Harry J. Anslinger, to head the Federal Bureau of Narcotics and Dangerous Drugs.

Secret meetings were held by these financial tycoons. Hemp was declared dangerous and a threat to their billion dollar enterprises. For their dynasties to remain intact, hemp had to go. These men took an obscure Mexican slang word: 'marihuana' and pushed it into the consciousness of America.

MEDIA MANIPULATION

A media blitz of 'yellow journalism' raged in the late 1920s and 1930s. Hearst's newspapers ran stories emphasizing the horrors of marihuana. The menace of marihuana made headlines. Readers learned that it was responsible for everything from car accidents to loose morality.

Films like 'Reefer Madness' (1936), 'Marihuana: Assassin of Youth' (1935) and 'Marihuana: The Devil's Weed' (1936) were propaganda designed by these industrialists to create an enemy. Their purpose was to gain public support so that anti-marihuana laws could be passed.

Examine the following quotes from 'The Burning Question' aka REEFER MADNESS:
* a violent narcotic.
* acts of shocking violence.
* incurable insanity.
* soul-destroying effects.
* under the influence of the drug he killed his entire family with an ax.
* more vicious, more deadly even than these soul-destroying drugs (heroin, cocaine) is the menace of marihuana!

Reefer Madness did not end with the usual 'the end.' The film concluded with these words plastered on the screen: TELL YOUR CHILDREN.

In the 1930s, people were very naive; even to the point of ignorance. The masses were like sheep waiting to be led by the few in power. They did not challenge authority. If the news was in print or on the radio, they believed it had to be true. They told their children and their children grew up to be the parents of the baby-boomers.

On April 14, 1937, the Prohibitive Marihuana Tax Law or the bill that outlawed hemp was directly brought to the House Ways and Means Committee. This committee is the only one that can introduce a bill to the House floor without it being debated by other committees. The Chairman of the Ways and Means, Robert Doughton, was a Dupont supporter. He insured that the bill would pass Congress.

The future will be what we make of it.

You should research the drug war and its true causes a little more, you might be surprised. For starters you can safely ignore the mainstream media, since their big-business partners have a vested interest in negative public perception of some drugs, and positive of others.

Look up W.R. Hearst and Dupont in relation to crimilization of marijuana, or the CIA and their heroin/cocaine smuggling operations for a taste of the real reasons for the drug war.
