Im going to go around campus and hang flyers- Ive been telling people this shit for years,
Another interesting thoughts to its legalization- Near the end of World War 1 several major wood-pulp paper industry companys such as Du Pont had an interest in artificial plastics and fibers. So they began pouring millions into research- which lead to the discovery of fibers such as rayon and nylon- conveniently right after the "hemp tax" (which was $2,000 an ounce) rayon and nylon were introduced to the market right on hemp's new taxes- Du pont had even assured congress and the treasury department that hemp-seed oils could be replaced with synthetic petrochemical oils.
The AMA(American medical association) actually fought for the legalization and de-taxation of Marijuana but it didn't matter against power figures like Anslinger, Hearst, and Andrew Mellon.
A Final fact while all the paranoid propaganda was spreading about hemp it actually saved the life of a young pilot serving his country while fighting a battle over the pacific. The aircraft was lubricated with hemp-seed oil. The rigging, Parachute fabrics, Ropes, emergency firehoses on the aircraft were all woven with hemp and safely, securely did their job in saving his life while he jumped ship.
