CIA, Pulp Mill Bias and Fear of an Immigration Epidemic
The CIA Colluded with American Politicans to Misinform the Pulbic. They Had a Personal Bias for the Pulp Mill Industry and orchestrated a series of false medical studies, medical documents, and linked the term Marijuana to a series of social political circus like events.
The film Reefer Madness, a distasteful atrocity produced to use deceptive mischaracterizations of cannabis, would deeply root these studies and links to the cultures that were tricked into thinking the movie Reefer Madness was an acceptable vision of cannabis culture.
This convoluted social image of cannabis started to escalate when it became associated with Mexican Immigrants and attracted the fear of American Tax Payers who wanted to fight immigration with any tools they had. The government used the falsified studies to push a bipartisan immigration narrative that mischaracterize Cannabis and for nearly 80 years the plant Cannabis would suffer indefinitely as medical studies were halted and doctors were threatened with legal action who would recommend the medicine mischaracterize as Marijuana.
This is further exemplified by the enforcements use of the term Marihuana on legal documents for criminal charges. Even the highest levels of government in the public sector were effectively misinformed about Cannabis.
> This is why cannabis enthusiasts prefer the Latinate name, *cannabis*.
