Anslinger proclaimed that these doctors would never again do marijuana experiments or research without his personal permission, or be sent to jail! He then used the full power of the United States government, illegally to halt virtually all research into marijuana while he blackmailed the American Medical Association (AMA) feminized seeds into denouncing the New York Academy of Medicine and its doctors for the research they had done. Why, you ask, was the AMA now on Anslinger’s side in 1944-45, after being against the Marijuana Tax Act in 1937? Answer: since Anslinger’s FBN was responsible for prosecuting doctors who prescribed narcotic drugs for what he, Anslinger, deemed illegal purposes, they (the FBN) had prosecuted more than 3,000 AMA doctors for illegal prescriptions through 1939.

The actual Spanish word for hemp is “canamo.” But using a Mexican “Sonoran” colloquialism - marijuana, often Americanized as “marihuana” - guaranteed that few would realize that the proper terms for one of the chief natural medicines, “cannabis,” and for the premiere industrial resource, “hemp,” had been pushed out of the language. The Prohibitive Marijuana Tax In the secret Treasury Department meetings conducted between 1935 and 1937, prohibitive tax laws were drafted and strategies plotted. “Marijuana” or cannabis seeds was not banned outright; the law called for an “occupational excise tax upon dealers, and a transfer tax upon dealings in marijuana.”

Equivalent to $40-$80 billion now. Experts today conservatively estimate that, once fully restored in America, hemp industries will generate $500 billion to a trillion dollars per year, and will save the planet and civilization from fossil fuels and their derivatives - and from deforestation! If Harry Anslinger, DuPont, Hearst and their paid-for (marijuana seeds, know it or not, then as now) politicians had not outlawed hemp - under the pretext of marijuana (see Chapter Four, “Last Days of Legal Cannabis”) - and suppressed hemp knowledge from our schools, researchers and even scientists; the glowing predictions in these articles would already have come true by now - and more benefits than anyone could then envision - as new technologies and uses continue to develop.
