before the Pure Food and Drug Act of 1907, products made from or with cannabis did not need to include the plant’s presence in any form. afterwards, there only needed to be a small waver on the label. after 1937 and the “Marihuana Tax Act” the sale and production of cannabis became virtually illegal. not because it was a narcotic or anything: it was taking money from the well-built timber company, with hemp expected to surpass sales of timber for paper, rope and fuel. that’s when cannabis became “MARIHUANA” a totally concocted, ethnic sounding name for cannabis made to scare white people into thinking it was a product of the hispanic and black people of the southern united states, made to poison good christians and turn them to sinners. not that it was the devil of capitalism taking something that would have changed our world and destroying it for personal gain, or anything.
