During the Congressional hearings on the 1937 Marijuana Tax Act, Ralph Loziers of the National Oil Seed Institute,
representing paint manufacturers and high quality machine lubrication processors, showed up to disagree with the Act. He testified: "In the past 3 years there have been 193,000,000 pounds of hemp seed imported into this country, or an average of 64,000,000 pounds a year..."
What is the oil used for, he was asked. "It is a drying oil, and its use is comparable to that of linseed oil or a perilla oil. It has a high iodine principle or strength. It is a rapidly drying oil to use in paints. It is also used in soap and in linoleum."(p.61.)
