FDR administration when THC (marijuana) was virtually unheard of.
You're right. Americans had never heard of marijuana. We were told that marijuana was a Mexican narcotic. We didn't know that marijuana was actually cannabis, a legal product that was widely sold and used across the country.
The government lied to us then and the government is still lying to us today.

Why did they pass a "Marijuana Tax Act" at a time when very few people had ever even heard the term "marijuana", but virtually everyone knew what hemp was? .
