My goal with this project was to undo 80 years of lies and propaganda with a single powerful image. I spent over a hundred hours researching these corporations and designing the image. I actually looked up the specific products and policies of each company, to make sure that they would truly benefit from the continued criminalization of a natural plant. For example, if a pharmaceutical company only produced cholesterol medication, I didn't include them, since cannabis isn't known to help with that. And if a company is in the process of promoting clean energy and renewable resources, I didn't include them either. So I feel pretty confident in saying this graphic accurately represents the 'bad guys' who most likely secretly spend $ on anti-legalization advertising and political campaign donations to ensure cannabis' continued illegality.

This went viral back in March 2012. The original picture quickly got up to 5,000+ Shares before Facebook deleted it for "copyright infringement", supposedly for using the corporate logos which should be considered public domain usage since I'm not trying to make $ with this. Luckily it spread fast enough that deleting my original didn't make a difference - the information was already out there. I have since added the Fair Use Disclaimer and gotten this approved and copyrighted by the US Copyright Office.
Please share, let's get the truth out there! (But please give credit and provide this link, as stated at the beginning.) And to see the large legible high-res version of the image, just click the "Download" link on the side. I also suggest downloading this and printing out fliers, making signs, putting it on city billboards, etc.

Regulations and restrictions on the sale of cannabis sativa as a drug began as early as 1860. The head of the Federal Bureau of Narcotics (FBN), Harry J. Anslinger, argued that, in the 1930s, the FBN had noticed an increase of reports of people smoking marijuana. He had also, in 1935, received support from president Franklin D. Roosevelt for adoption of the Uniform State Narcotic Act, state laws that included regulations of cannabis.
Some parties have argued that the aim of the Act was to reduce the size of the hemp industry largely as an effort of businessmen Andrew Mellon, Randolph Hearst, and the Du Pont family. The same parties have argued that with the invention of the decorticator, hemp had became a very cheap substitute for the paper pulp that was used in the newspaper industry. These parties argue that Hearst felt that this was a threat to his extensive timber holdings. Mellon, Secretary of the Treasury and the wealthiest man in America, had invested heavily in the Du Pont family's new synthetic fiber, nylon, a fiber that was competing with hemp. In 1916, United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) chief scientists Jason L. Merrill and Lyster H. Dewey created a paper, USDA Bulletin No. 404 "Hemp Hurds as Paper-Making Material", in which they concluded that paper from the woody inner portion of the hemp stem broken into pieces, so called hemp hurds, was "favorable in comparison with those used with pulp wood". Dewey and Merrill believed that hemp hurds were a suitable source for paper production.
