I heard forever ago, but can't remember exactly. Think there was some lobbying from a powerful raw materials mogul who didn't want to compete with inexpensive hemp materials, and had politicians smear all products in the cannabis family with some ridiculous campaigns about marijuana inciting violence and rapaciousness in black men.

Like robbing a store for some cheap cigars, pushing the store owner, walking in the middle of the road, and then attacking and charging an armed police officer?

I believe it was the Dupont family.
