Is it true that the US banned cannabis as Dupont knew it could be used to make cheap plastic, Randolph Hearst?

didn't want the competition to his paper mills, and Anslinger had interests in the cotton industry, so they conspired to have it banned, not just in the US, but throughout the world using political pressure, and military might?Is it true that the US banned cannabis as Dupont knew it could be used to make cheap plastic, Randolph Hearst?
Hearst and the Dupont family definitely had an interest in hemp not becoming a viable product. It is not a simple as that though. Harry Anslinger along with other prohibitionists used unfounded claims that blacks were using jazz and ';killer weed'; to lure and defile white women. The same kinds of claim minus jazz were used to discriminate against migrant Mexican workers during the Depression because they became extremely undesirable. I sincerely doubt that Anslinger was a true believer, so playing the race card could have simply been a tactic to achieve his financial interests.Is it true that the US banned cannabis as Dupont knew it could be used to make cheap plastic, Randolph Hearst?
Randolph Hearst was instrumental in the ban, I think Anslinger later realized that it was relatively harmless and Hearst demonized it in his papers to ban it. it may be a controlled substance only because it is hard to control without making it illegal.
no. its banned in the us because its so hard to keep tabs on it, the government could never be sure it raked in all the taxes it'd be due on that sh*t.
