This President’s Day, Remember that George Washington Raised Hemp & Probably Smoked it

Monday, February 2nd, 2009 at 5:59 pm | By: Radical Russ

George Washington raised large quantities of hemp. So did Thomas Jefferson, James Madison and virtually every other 1700s American farmer.

It is also highly likely at least some of them smoked its potent sibling, now known as marijuana.

Perhaps we should commemorate the upcoming President’s Day by honoring George Washington with a National Celebration to Re-Legalize Hemp and Marijuana.

    I bow to no one in my love for America’s original revolutionaries. Yet it seems doubtful to me that the Founders smoked cannabis. We know that hemp won’t get you high. And it seems liked have more evidence–artifacts, etc–if our founders liked to blaze on sativa or indica.

    The Drug Warriors have too many of their own fairy tales.

    There’s no need for us to start making stuff up, too.
