There were a large number of factors that eventually led to the prohibition and subsequent labelling as a controlled substance in1979.

There is the Corporate conspiracy theory that suggests hemp was banned by corporate special interests who saw hemp as a threat to oil and other synthetic fibres they controlled. This included a massive public smear campaign and the campaigning of the Drug Enforcement Agent Arlisson who went on to promote hemp prohibition around the world.

I'm glad your source at least mentions William Randolph Hearst as being involved, though I believe his role has been downplayed by historians. He was probably the #1 driving force behind convincing the American public to ban it at the time.

Newspaper magnates were/are among the most powerful propagandists.

Hearst castle is pretty cool though. Even if he was a total douch. Definitely worth a visit if you find yourself on the Cali central coast.

Hearst was involved in the paper industry and led the ban on hemp in order to prop up the timber industry to produce it. Hemp is an all around product producer in the same way oil is. Nearly unending products that could be made with hemp and were much better with a longer lifespan. For a really trippy demonstration this hemp car video would have been a game changer for people. https://youtu.be/srgE6Tzi3Lg

Try working retail and see how you feel about weed then. I swear every third customer stinks like he's been chugging and bathing in sewer sludge.

And there are stinky people who don't smoke weed. Not disagreeing with you just saying.

However you may feel about "hemp", the hemp plant does make the very best Ropes. Jute is a close second to Hemp Rope in tensile strength. A 1/4" Hemp Rope properly woven and then tied into a Noose has more than enough tensile strength to elevate a nigger, a fat sheboon, or -- better yet -- a very fat (((juden))). Properly cured, using salt water soaking and then stretched, a hemp woven Rope has over One Million Pascals of tensile strength. Used judiciously, a single Rope could Hang at least 5 fat (((juden)) at the same time. Some food for thought.

When The Day of The Rope arrives (hopefully soon), Hemp Rope will be precious and in great demand. Invest now! Even Amazon has it in 50-foot lengths at a cost of $99.00. Each Rope for Hanging requires ten feet when a simple slip knot is used. That means an investment of $99 will reward you with at least five Ropes, each of which can Hang five (((jews))) or possibly ten skinny niggers for each Rope. Do the math, Patriots!
