I don't know, do you have any objections or are you trying to appeal to ridicule?

I literally don't know what you're talking about. A conspiracy to suppress hemp?

Yes. I'm not surprised, to be honest. There is so much propoganda on this subject that most people are completely unaware of this plant's historical significance.

I apologize about the appeal to ridicule statement, your initial reply was unclear as to what you were implying.

I'll link some wikipedia articles to point you in the general direction, but do your own research.

I think you're getting downvoted because these sources you're citing are pretty silly. Hemp is produced throughout the industrialized western world. Why hasn't it revolutionized Europe, where non-psychoactive hemp crops are legal?

Okay, here is a source that argues that while the hemp conspiracy might be overblown, the racist underpinnings of prohibition are still in place.

I'd like someone to point out how this isn't true.
