224: Hemp: The Truth About the Earth's Greatest Plant
... it was banned because it was a widely abused, harmful drug. Hemp was banned because it was a competitive threat to the wood industry. Corporations that profited from the demise of hemp spread rumors that marijuana was a major drug problem, which it was not at the time.

It is referred to as hemp when it is grown for its fibers, stem, and seeds. Its leaves and flowers produce the drugs marijuana and hashish.

226: Is Perception Reality?
... of criminal activity going on. I just did not realize that so much crime could be taking place. For example, there was a lot of illegal drug use in the prison. Illegal drugs such as marijuana, Black Tar Heroin and Cocaine; were smuggled in. Visitors and the packages they brought carried the drugs. Although searched, they still managed to get the drugs in. I remember one time inspecting a pair of brand new boots that a family member sent in. I found the innersole had been removed and carved out. It had been filled with marijuana. Drugs, stamps & store items were used as money in the prison. And there was theft, extortion & murder present. I would write tickets and reports on these activities much like a police officer writes reports on ...
227: The War on...Dress Codes
... do teachers and other Lake staff actually have for this rule though? At age 13, 14, 15, and older, not very many people are going to be influenced to take drugs just by seeing a marijuana T-shirt worn by a fellow classmate. All students by at least 4th grade know that drugs and alcohol are bad for you and seeing a shirt that says “What I Really Learned In Shopclass” below the picture of a boy carving out a bowl most likely isn’t going to influence that student to smoke marijuana.
