For
example, the primary reason for the War of 1812 (fought by America against Great
Britain) was access to Russian cannabis hemp. Russian hemp was also the principal
reason that Napoleon (our 1812 ally) and his Continental Systems
allies invaded Russia in 1812. (See chapter 11,
The (Hemp)War of 1812 and Napoleon Invades Russia.)
In
1942, after the Japanese invasion of the Philippines cut off the supply of Manila
(Abaca) hemp, the U.S. government distributed 400,000 pounds of cannabis seeds
to American farmers from Wisconsin to Kentucky, who produced 42,000 tons of
hemp fiber annually until 1946 when the war ended.
