in the united states in 1937, the marihuana tax act was passed, and prohibited the production of hemp in addition to cannabis. the reasons that hemp was also included in this law are disputed—several scholars have claimed that the act was passed in order to destroy the us hemp industry, shortly thereafter the united states was forced back to promoting rather than discouraging hemp cultivation; hemp was used extensively by the united states during world war ii to make uniforms, canvas, and rope. much of the hemp used was cultivated in kentucky and the midwest. during world war ii, the u.s. produced a short 1942 film, "hemp for victory", promoting hemp as a necessary crop to win the war. in western europe, the cultivation of hemp was not legally banned by the 1930s, but the commercial cultivation stopped by then, due to decreased demand compared to increasingly popular artificial fibers. in the early 1940s, world production of hemp fiber ranged from 250 000 to 350 000 metric tonnes, russia was the biggest producer.
