Cannabis prohibition has long backdated roots extending as early as 1906. Hemp prohibition specifically began in the 1920’s. It wasn’t long before it was then classified as a drug in the mid-1930’s.
Much of this negative framing around hemp was created by establishments that felt threatened by hemp within industrial textile production considering it was so economically viable.
As education and understanding spread, new generations of industry have gained a deeper understanding of hemp as a diverse and malleable compound that can be used to produce biofuels, paper products, plastics, and so much more. With this redefined lens of hemp as a highly profitable industrial material, the push for legalization to cultivate as an industrial product began.
