The national campaign against the consumption of marijuana, funded by the government, led to a widespread abandonment of industrial hemp production in the United States. Today we know that behind this financing operation was the cotton industry. The cotton crop is largely beneficial to the industry of pesticides and chemical fertilizers and is consequently a more harmful to the environment.

This and other "stories" can be read in the book "Hemp: A short Story of the most mishunderstood plant and its uses and abuses" from Mark Bourrie (Paperback).
