The Economonics of Hemp

HEMP IS MAJOR BUSINESS! FOR WHO? The American cannabis market will expand to $41.5 billion by 2025, up from 17.1 billion dollars. This country appears to have benefited from this multibillion-dollar crop. Yet, they imprison the citizens for marijuana-related offenses, leaving many individuals with lengthy prison sentences across the nation. Furthermore, the campaign that prohibited cannabis in 1937 specifically targeted non-white Americans. Commissioner Harry Aslinger promoted false racist publications that led citizens to believe that a valuable crop for over 12,000 years before the prohibition was unsafe. Then, fear that the oil business would collapse with cannabis, elites such as John D Rocafella, Andrew Carnegie, Rammot Dupont, W R Hearst, and Andrew Mellon financially supported Aslinger's lies and propaganda.

HEMP IS CRIMINALIZED WHILE! LEGALIZED CONTROLLED SUBSTANCES KILL AMERICANS According to current data, over 200,000 people die due to drug/alcohol-related causes. In America, there is a continuing opioid crisis. However, this epidemic seldom gets reported in mainstream news headlines. Sadly synthetic drugs continue to spread throughout the communities taking the lives of almost 2000 people a week. Tragically, synthetic opioids are still circulating in communities. According to research, painkillers can harm humans and pose a high risk of overdose. Fentanyl is a form of opioid that is cheaper but fifty times more potent than heroin.

Billion-Dollar Crop. Cannabis-derived ethanol oil can fuel vehicles without containing any toxic elements found in oil and gas compounds. Cannabis trees Sativa, Indica, and Ruderalis are a billion-dollar crop for various reasons. The most important is that they generate over 50,000 valuable products and develop rapidly in 3-4 months. Furthermore, studies have shown that the cannabis tree is environmentally safe to consume and manufacture raw materials. Soon after cannabis was declared illegal in the United States, the oil companies started to flourish worldwide. However, research shows that 100-years of toxic elements originating from oil and gas are harmful to humans and their environment. After exposure, the main symptoms are respiratory irritation, neurological effects, headache, dizziness, and eye and skin decline in function. According to one analysis, "nearly 30 billion gallons of hazardous waste from oil are discharged into the water supply.Overall, the cannabis prohibition has jailed many Black and Hispanic citizens on marijuana charges, even though they have continued to profit from its multibillion-dollar industry. The mandatory sentence was in place to force the prohibition, which held life sentences upon many people with marijuana-related charges. Marijuana arrests represent a significant percentage of all drug arrests; even as customers purchase marijuana from legal retailers, police apprehend more people for marijuana possession than serious offenses.

Many innocent lives have been damaged as a result of the hemp ban.

Workers protest the alcohol prohibition during the mid 1920s

Non-colored people all around the world have benefitted from the hemp industry, whereas people of color have suffered as a result of any participation with the hemp or cannabis industries.The use and sale of alcohol were outlawed in the US from 1920 to 1933. Since the Great Depression in 1929, the government desperately needed the tax income from alcohol sales and felt prohibition would improve the economy. As a result, Congress approved the 21st Amendment, the sole Amendment repealing the 18th Amendment, in 1933. Alcohol's health and societal effects are still a concern today.

Harry Anslinger the first commissioner of the U.S. Treasury Department's Federal Bureau of Narcotics used racial Slurs to promote false information during his hemp and cannabis prohibition.

Ralo "They love to see us do dumb stuff so we can lose and kill each other, so they don't have to do it".
