D, in my reading, I've come across several articles talking about the reasons that the hemp industry was killed in North America ... because the soybean industry paid for the process ... because people were harming their health by smoking pot and getting high, even tho we're talking about the early part of the century.
I am not a pot smoker ... I've never signed a petition for legalizing pot.
I think Rick Simpson's story probably shows the REAL reason why marijuana was illegalized.
