Tobacco cultivation and exports formed an essential component of the American colonial economy during the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. Tobacco plantations were distinct from other cash crops in terms of agricultural demands, trade, slave labor, and plantation culture. Many influential American revolutionaries, including Thomas Jefferson and George Washington, owned tobacco plantations, and were financially devastated by debt to British tobacco merchants shortly before the American Revolution. John Rolfe, a colonist from Jamestown, was the first to grow tobacco in America. He arrived in Virginia with tobacco seeds procured on an earlier voyage to Trinidad, and in 1612 he harvested his inaugural crop for sale on the European market.

Entire industries could be created out of hemp products. Hemp fiber was the first main ingredient in making woven fabric; it was used to make clothing, paper, and sails for ships among other things. In fact, because of the extreme durability of hemp it is actually preferred over many other man-made products (Guither). During the 1930s when the Marijuana Tax Act was first passed, a man by the name DuPont started an anti-hemp campaign while at the same time he was patenting a new sulfuric acid process for producing wood-pulp paper; he intended to replace the already booming business of hemp paper.

In fact, Buba once “had the occasion to direct some cultivators to grow tobacco instead of poppy.
