not to mention the William Randolph Hearst angle, in which he owned the timber to paper mills that were used for his newspapers.
huge campaign by him to make hemp illegal as to not cut into his profits

Well, capitalists tend to prefer a market with products to buy or sell. Central planning folks (i.e. not capitalists) tend to want to restrict and vector folks into single/no choice options.
sounds an awful lot like Standard Oil and William Hearst, the big players in making hemp illegal

it was a way to centralize energy production because alcohol was a cheap, decentralized way to produce fuel.
Yeah. That's why biomass fuel for cars is soooo cheap compared to gasoline.

how can you even be serious here - comparing current prices to what might have been before established industry and supply chains, and what was a viable way for people (mostly farmers) to make their own fuel.
I can't take this level of trolling seriously. you're banned until you can be real.

You have big problems with definitions I see. If something is illegal that means you get arrested for doing it.....from 1937 to 1970 it was not illegal to grow, sell, or utilize hemp in any way. Nobody got in trouble for it then.
The same barriers to entry for it existed then as they do today so WTF are you trying to say....I showed you a way to navigate the barriers but I’m sure no one in your industry likes them.....tough titties.

Capitalism has played no role whatsoever. It’s been a regulatory government.

you seem to have a big problem with honest internal processing.
hemp was banned in 1937 (that exact headline is used by credible sources), you are being extremely dense for no other purpose than trying to win the internet today.
DuPont, Hearst, Mellon, Rockefeller and others who's industries would have been destroyed by hemp made it literally impossible for the plant to be an industry leader. At the time of all of this a new machine was created to the make hemp extremely profitable. Popular Mechanics magazine front page: The New Billion Dollar Crop. That was shut out by the capitalists who wanted to remain in power. There was technically ways to get granted the right to grow it, but intentionally it was also impossible at the same time.
You are being educated right now. Be thankful instead of trying really hard to make this work out in your favor so you feel better about yourself. You are literally making a joke of yourself.

and who pulled those puppet strings?
could it have been capitalists named Hearst, who owned timber and paper mills and newspapers?
or the Dupont's, who created the chemical laden synthetic nylon.
or the Rockefeller's, who owned the oil industry
literally traceable evidence shows these capitalist titans did exactly that.

I couldn’t give two shits if hemp is used or not.....but I think it is quite clear that society can, and will continue, to thrive without hemp.
what is the point of this comment?
I'm asking if hemp was suppressed by capitalists?

So, you're saying that Standard Oil got MJ/hemp banned, decades after it couldn't prevent itself from being broken into dozens of smaller companies?
Interdasting.
(Seriously - dust off Yoga Girl for a Chemtrail thread - that would be a hoot - a blast from the past, so to speak.

Stop answering this a-hole so he'll go back to smoking his joint and blowing his uncle or whatever he does when he's not looking up debunked conspiracies online

mighty selective there, wasn't there a number of other names and industry leaders named? think so, might have to scroll up have a page and check.
standard oil break-up was mostly fo-show, btw. it actually in a round about way benefited Rockefeller.
I'm saying the industries that would have been destroyed by hemp colluded to have it banned, that is literally a verified and accepted fact.
