You know, and my memory isn’t what it used to be, wasn’t the Hemp industry lobbied against by the logging barons because it was way better at producing various products like paper, rope etc, and other uses and that scared the capitalists ?
Could also be misremembering tin foil conspiracies.

I heard the nylon interests wanted to get rid of their competition. Rope, textiles, etc.
Not surprising given the biggest founders of the “Keep weed illegal” movement is the Pharma and alcohol lobby.
I’ve heard this too but I don’t know how thick the tinfoil hat is on that
Look at the lobbies opposed to legalization today and it’s not that hard to believe. Lobbying Congress is cheap.
For real, I’ve seen some of the contributions being as low as like $500 to sell everyone out
I believe the ban was shortly after the invention of nylon. DuPont maybe.
