Comment on Gates Foundation has spent $250M on journalism

I hope people don’t forget yellow journalism with William Randolph Hearst.

Marijuana was highly scrutinized in his publications because hemp (relative to marijuana) competed with his paper mills that he owned.

Low and behold, marijuana and hemp become illegal to grow in the United States because of the fear of people getting high.

I think alcohol is more intoxicating than cannabis.
