  Arguably it goes back to the end prohibition era and the outlawing of marijuana.

    And the marijuana stuff leads back to both the tobacco and wood fiber industries. Cannabis is a threat to tobacco, and hemp is a threat to darn near everything wood fiber is used for. That one even more so because it grows so dramatically faster than a new forest.

      I have heard of this. I remember reading once that sailing ships used hemp for their cloth because it was plentiful and durable. No idea where I saw that though

  Yeah, I think he just comes to mind first because of the whole “D.A.R.E” thing, and his horrible effects on literally everything are still felt so profoundly today.
