Also there were a few other pharmaceutical companies who also sought to have hemp removed as to reduce the competition. When the Federal Bureau of Narcotics was formed in 1930, its director was Harry J Anslinger. Anslinger came out with wonderous lines (regarding MJ usage) such as "reefers make the black man think he's as good as a white man", "if you smoke canabis you'll kill your brother", "marijuan leads to pacifism and communist brainwashing", and a whole more quotes. He teamed up with William Randolph Hearst who owned a large chain of newspapers. He had invested heavily in timber (for paper for his business) and didn't want to see hemp-paper get in the way. Quote: Moral of the story is: Behind almost every major law change and criminalisation act in the 20th century western world was an alterior motive which a single or group of individual posed to benefit substantially from. Agreed. I'm not here to say MJ is good or bad, though I do think there are worse legal and illegal drugs around. Ed, I cut/pasted 2 paragraphs. They were well written as it was and I found it easier to do so, rather than re-type. The other info I gleaned off the net. Actually, what started me thinking was a long time ago, one of my mates (who is now a lawyer in ICAC) had to do a thesis on the illegalisation of MJ. He told me about it being more a racist/people-control reason than for anything medical. So, I went out and did a bit of a search and found some supporting evidence. seeyuzz river [Report message to a moderator]
