Hearst was instrumental in getting FDR the nomination and getting him elected.

Then other cotton industry concerns with keeping the competing potential Billion dollar hemp business

What an idiot. You can't get high smoking commercial hemp, dumbass. Heck, because of cross pollination problems, commercial hemp growing would be a big problem for any marijuana grown nearby for recreationalo purposes.

Industrial hemp has a THC content of between 0.05 and 1%. Marijuana has a THC content of 3% to 20%. To receive a standard psychoactive dose would require a person to power-smoke 10-12 hemp cigarettes over an extremely short period of time. The large volume and high temperature of vapor, gas and smoke would be almost impossible for a person to withstand. If hemp does pollinate any nearby marijuana, genetically, the result will always be lower-THC marijuana, not higher-THC hemp. If hemp is grown outdoors, marijuana will not be grown close by to avoid producing lower-grade marijuana.
