Which locked and loaded really in 1937 with the Marijuana Tax Act of 1937 when Congress was bought by the oil and gas barons.
And they outlawed marijuana overnight.
And by extension, hemp, the entire hemp industry collapsed overnight in 1937.
Because the hemp industry at that time was about to go vertical and take over the American economy.
America would have been 300 years ahead of itself had that bill in 1937 not passed, the Marijuana Tax Act.
But introducing that tax act, and prior to 1937, every farmer in the United States by law had to farm a minimum of 200 acres of hemp.
And from the hemp fibers, you can literally build buildings.
It is 11 times stronger than steel.
Really?
Yes.
You can extract silicon, you can extract ceramics, and you can extract graphene.
So we can make computers, we can make telephones out of one plant that grows three times a year.
What?
Three times a year.
So you grow hemp, and I'm addressing parliaments on this in Africa.
I'm sitting down with kings and kings of kings and parliaments and cabinet ministers talking this talk in the last 18 months, selling them on the idea of not playing white man's game any further, allowing marijuana and hemp to come back in, or the hemp industry to come back in, and within three years they can lose 97% of foreign exports.
Wow.
And if that doesn't pull an economy and buoy it back up, nothing will.
So that's part of the process of how African and the so-called developing nations need to resurrect themselves from the fiat economy.
Yes, sure.
