Monument in cannabis culture

Aside from sports reporting, the topic of hemp cannot be ignored this week. A particularly insightful film made during the Second World War under the title ““Hemp for Victory”became known, encouraged farmers to grow hemp. This black and white film from 1942 showcased the use of hemp for the production of rope and fabric, which was important to the US Navy at the time. Interestingly, after the end of the war, marijuana was made illegal again, which fueled the debate over this issue that lasted for years.

The film not only provides insight into history but also points out that the Marijuana Tax Act of 1937 was temporarily suspended to encourage hemp fiber production. Despite its historical significance, “Hemp for Victory” was relatively unknown for a long time. It wasn't until the late 1980s that some citizens found copies of the film and brought it back to the public.

Today, the film is not only a part of the history of hemp cultivation, but also a topic in discussions about the legalization of marijuana. Interesting information on this topic is available in an article Wikipedia to read.

The importance of HTTPS

In the digital world, security is the be-all and end-all. This is where the term HTTPS comes into play. Use it when you move around the Internet! HTTPS stands for Hypertext Transfer Protocol Secure and is the secure variant of HTTP. It protects your data in transit with TLS encryption and ensures that you are on the official website before entering any personal information. On Digital Citizen you will find many more explanations on this important topic.

While HTTPS helps maintain your privacy and integrity, it is important to note that not all websites that use HTTPS are secure. Scammers can obtain certificates for similar domains to trick unsuspecting users. Therefore, it is advisable to always be safe when entering your details and pay attention to browser warnings.

In summary, both table tennis and other societal issues such as hemp cultivation and cybersecurity are worth paying attention to. Keep an eye out for upcoming games and developments in the world of sports, as well as important digital security issues.
