Uummmm I just watched the history of drugs on the History Channel, and the banning of marijuana had absolutely nothing to do with anything involving oil. Many of the major illegal drugs were banned for racial reasons. It was believed that the drugs caused black men to behave aggressively and/or rape white women. No joke.
Seriously, I've come to the conclusion that people will blame the oil companies for everything one day. "Teen pregnancy? It's well known that the oil companies are behind it!" How are those of us who want to change the world going to be taken seriously in the future if we act like we're on drugs right now?
Word to the wise: Don't believe everything you read on the Web.
I'm all for using hemp for fuel, but please don't represent the cause if your argument is absurd. We need men and women to step forward who can be taken seriously.
