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.

Indeed. 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? .
