1937
Marihuana Tax Act preceded by mass hype and hysteria fed to the
American public by Harry Anslinger, a dubious U.S. politician who worked
with Dow Chemicals and Dupont in the 1920's and 30's, to demonize
marijuana and place it in an illegal category, in order to get their new
"synthetic rope" on the market. In truth, the natural hemp fiber is to
this day, superior in strength, quality and durability.
