Why hemp was banned in 1939.
The Machines for processing hemp improved and became state of the art in the early 1930’s and this was a significant threat to the powers that be including Hearst newspapers and their huge amount of trees.
It was also a threat to Dupont who would be set to have serious competition from hemp that would seriously reduced their turnover. This was also a worry to Duponts banker, Andrew Mellon, of Mellon bank, Pittsburgh, who would also be set to lose out.
Dupont had new patents for synthetic fibres, paper made from wood pulp along with their other plastic and textiles enterprises.
Hemp could have competed with 80% of their business in a free market but instead it was Dupont who would filled the railroads with its goods for the next 70 years, causing untold pollution of the environment and the rivers.
