I posted links to that information because it is my belief that hemp was outlawed by a clique of industrustialists who saw it as a threat to their bottom line. The executive branch also lent a hand, by demonizing "marijuana" with insane lies, such as:


"I wish I could show you what a small marihuana cigarette can do to one of our degenerate Spanish-speaking residents. That's why our problem is so great; the greatest percentage of our population is composed of Spanish-speaking persons, most of who are low mentally, because of social and racial conditions."
Floyd K. Baskette
Alamosa, Colorado
quoted by Harry J. Anslinger,
Commissioner of the Federal Bureau of Narcotics
during the hearings on the 1937 Marihuana Tax Act



There are 100,000 total marijuana smokers in the US, and most are Negroes, Hispanics, Filipinos and entertainers. Their Satanic music, jazz and swing, result from marijuana usage. This marijuana causes white women to seek sexual relations with Negroes, entertainers and any others. -- Harry Anslinger, 1937 testimony to Congress in support of the Marijuana Tax Act

"...it is my belief that hemp was outlawed by a clique of industrustialists who saw it as a threat to their bottom line. The executive branch also lent a hand, by demonizing "marijuana" with insane lies..."

Do you think that this is justification for decriminalization?
