This poster is obviously new (no websites back then)...
Hemp was a big crop in Hungary due to that country’s climate, rich soils and many streams. In the old days before the aftermath of Ww2, it wasn’t unusual to find elderly farmers go to the village wine tavern and drink bikavér bulls blood red wine and smoke a marijuana cigarette to relax after a hards day work in the fields. While in Budapest bored, wealthy sophisticates would smoke marijuana joints laced with opium to both relax and get high as kites. :) After the war and the beginnings of the Communist regime in 1947, the regime outlawed marijuana but had to look the other way as the old farmers insisted on continuing their habit and tradition of relaxing by drinking a glass of bikaver wine while smoking a marijuana cigarette. Imagine your sweet and elderly grandfather or great grandfather farmer puffing away on a marijuana joint ! After all farmers do work their asses off, more so in the days of Communist Hungary with its production demands of their dear 5 year plans for agriculture and industry, productions quotas that had to be met or else ! In the days of Stalin some farmers would be made examples of and imprisoned or even executed accused of being enemies of the people and the state as saboteurs of the 5 year plans. Worse it was generally the elderly farmers that were targeted because they weren’t as productive as the younger farmers. :( -Rj
First off, it was not only farmers who grew hemp who got deferments from military service during WW2--it was all farmers. Second, the hemp that is used for rope is not genetically the same as marijuana that is grown for "recreational" use. Rope hemp has very little THC and does not get you high. So, what's your point with this?
Anon@9:42am - The point was for education. In fact, your comment inspired me to ask the all-knowing Google about it's legality now, and I learned that it's legal to grow hemp in 11 states.
The timber industry is what killed it. Hemp per acre is by far more productive for producing paper than the pulp industry.
