The DuPont Company and the Cannabis Ban

Conspiracy theorists believe that the DuPont company had a vested interest in cannabis prohibition. If hemp plant was made illegal, theDuPont company stood to gain a fortune. Harry Anzlinger could have been appointed commissioner of the Federal Bureau of Narcotics by his uncle-in-law Andrew Mellon. The last titan of industry we have to discuss is William Randolph Hearst. He may have supported hemp prohibition in an act of nepotism.
