Hemp - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hemp)
Living near logging for the first time shows me that with just a little adjustment current paper producers could produce hemp paper with a quicker turnaround. Seems like a no brainer. Between plasitc/paper made from oil and plastic/paper made from hemp. I'll take the hemp.
"DuPont and William Randolph Hearst
The decision of the United States Congress to pass the 1937 Marihuana Tax Act was based on hearings[1], reports[13] and in part on testimony derived from articles in newspapers owned by William Randolph Hearst, who had significant financial interests in the timber industry, which manufactured his newsprint.[14]
Marijuana activtist Jack Herer has researched DuPont and has concluded Dupont played a large role in the criminalization of cannabis. In 1938, DuPont patented the processes for creating plastics from coal and oil and a new process for creating paper from wood pulp. If hemp would have been largely exploited, it would have likely been used to make paper and plastic, and would have hurt DuPontā??s profits. Andrew Mellon of the Mellon Bank was DuPont's chief financial backer and was also the Secretary of Treasury under the Hoover administration. In 1931, Mellon appointed Harry J. Anslinger, his nephew-in-law[citation needed], as the head of the Federal Bureau of Narcotics (FBN), where Anslinger stayed until 1962.[15]
Hemp was a relatively easy target because factories already had made large investments in equipment to handle cotton, wool, and linen, but there were relatively small investments in hemp production. There was also a misconception hemp had an intoxicating effect because it has the same active substance, THC, which is in potent marijuana strains; however, hemp only has minimal amount of THC when compared to recreational marijuana strains."

I know I put this in the conspiracy section because I think it probably is. Big business inserts hand into government. Forces reliance on oil. I would love to start a hemp biofuel business.
