The Marijuana Conspiracy Part 2

Poster Promoting the 1936 Film

Media Manipulation

A media blitz of ‘yellow journalism’ raged in the late 1920s and 1930s. Hearst’s newspapers ran stories emphasizing the horrors of marihuana. The menace of marihuana made headlines. Readers learned that it was responsible for everything from car accidents to loose morality.

Films like ‘Reefer Madness’ (1936), ‘Marihuana: Assassin of Youth’ (1935) and ‘Marihuana: The Devil’s Weed’ (1936) were propaganda designed by these industrialists to create an enemy. Their purpose was to gain public support so that anti-marihuana laws could be passed.

"And I will raise up for them a plant of renown, and they shall be no more consumed with hunger in the land." — Ezekiel 34/29

What follows is an article written by Doug Yurchey; probably the most complete condensed work on the history leading up to Marijuana criminalization and the major political and economic interests which drive the propaganda against  pot, weed, marijuana and every other synonym of hemp.

"Pot is NOT harmful to the human body or mind. Marijuana does NOT pose a threat to the general public. Marijuana is very much a danger to the oil companies, alcohol, tobacco industries and a large number of chemical corporations. Various big businesses, with plenty of dollars and influence, have suppressed the truth from the people."
