After WWI the Germans were forbidden, by the world, to grow or import hemp. Without rope, canvas and other Hemp products, it was thought they couldn't start another war.  That's why the Germans invented Nylon and other plastics.  Reefer madness was a scam perpetrated on the public.    Nylon and plastic was way more expensive than Hemp, so, to make America buy there product they demonized Marijuana so Hemp use would trash their market. Dalton you are paranoid.
