It's a little more complicated than that. Read the opinion.

Actually, the use of DDT has made a resurgance in Africa. It appears to be less harmful than the mosquitos that it kills.
And "the other film" that Uncle Sam made about hemp was "Reefer Madness." What a fiasco that was.

I would respond to your second paragraph but I could not find a point therein.

There is a huge difference in the 2 (Hemp vs Marijuana). Mostly the THC content.
Industrial hemp can't really get you high and is a very versitile material that other textiles (like cotton) don't want to compete against. It also contains hardly any THC
Marijuana on the other hand is of the same family but has THC for getting high...
They also can't cross pollinate without destroying the pot. They give off different UV for aerial detection.

They aren't the same. Much like a boy and a girl are both humans but not the same.
The ability to grow hemp in the US decades past to support the war wasn't for the type that could be smoked or used as a drug but the type used to make rope.

Of course, idiotic propagandists who want to muddy the waters over look this. I mean, hemp is hemp...*puff*
