Hemp for Victory is a black-and-white film produced in 1942 by the USDA
outlining a plan to distribute 400,000 lbs. of cannabis seeds to American
farmers with the goal of producing 350,000 acres of cannabis by 1943 — all for
the war effort. The USDA even went as far as to urge 4-H clubs to grow at least
half an acre, but preferably 2 acres of cannabis. All American farmers were
required to see the film, sign a paper saying that they had viewed the film, and
read a booklet on the matter. Farmers who agreed were waived from serving in the
military, and all their family members were also exempt. They received farm
equipment at a discounted price, and sometimes for free.
However, before and after the war — the same plant was considered “demon weed” and the killer of the same kids that were pressed into service to grow it during the war. Furthermore, the USDA and Library of Congress denied the creation or existence of such a film until 2 copies were found and sent in to the Library of Congress.
