This group will provide information on the movement to Re-Legalize Marijuana and is an open forum to all that support this cause.

For the first 162 years of America's existence, marijuana was totally legal and hemp was a common crop. But during the 1930s, the U.S. government and the media began spreading outrageous lies about marijuana, which led to its prohibition. This campaign of lies, as well as other evidence, has led many to believe there may have been a hidden agenda behind Marijuana Prohibition.

Before The Marijuana Tax Act of 1937 banned marijuana, new technologies were developed that made hemp a potential competitor with the newly founded synthetic fiber and plastics industries. Hemp's potential for producing paper also posed a threat to the timber industry. Evidence suggests that commercial interests having much to lose from hemp competition helped propagate reefer madness hysteria, and used their influence to lobby for Marijuana Prohibition. It is not known for certain if special interests conspired to destroy the hemp industry via Marijuana Prohibition, but enough evidence exists to raise the possibility.
