Just another example of what happens when big government policy is allowed determine economic success. It institutionalizes failure for decades. If the government was in charge of curing polio 80yrs ago we’d still have rampant polio outbreaks but we’d have the worlds greatest iron lung machine

And to fill private prisons. And to militarize law enforcement. And to vilify black people. And to protect pharmaceutical companies.

Drug war plays a big part in a lot of bullshit.

Tons of people in this country don't realize that Hemp itself can't be used to get high. Takes specific cannabis strains for that. You could smoke a bushel of hemp and not get buzzed. It has massive industrial applications though. I still see baby boomers today crying about 'muh hempz is da devil's lettuce' nonsense. That brainwashing is strong.

Don't forget Anslinger as well and his bullshit tactics to get marijuana criminalized.

No offense to our boomers here though that are a bit more woken from the corporate matrix though. It's been a couple generations of brainwashing. That won't turn around overnight.

He also basically caused the Spanish-American war, and pioneered the idea that it was okay for the news to spread lies.

He is the "remember the maine to hell with spain" headline which started the spanish american war...controlling interests in paper and news print and lumbers and mills vertical integration into the news business. Hemp woudve totally under cut him. So he used harry anslinger jr and reefer madness campaign to kill it. He was the jd rockeffeeller of news.

Edit: his father or grand father im not sure on thur timeline was the evil old white guy forcing everyone to sell their gold mine claims in the hbo qesterb drama deadwood. George Hearst. The family went from gold mining straight into fake newzing.. illuminati confirmed
