huh... So you think the Founders were dope smoking porn lovers? After all, such things existed back then and they didn’t ban them in the Constitution. I guess you are just smarter than they were...

Washington was known to cultivate the hemp plant for personal use, if you know what I mean!

Day 7: “began to separate the male from the female hemp (and?) (when/was) too late”

He’s also attributed with the quote “Make the most of the Indian hemp seed and sow it everywhere”

Like it or not, Washington and Jefferson and many more of our Founding Fathers embraced hemp. America is truly a cannabis culture long forgotten.

(However, it is not for me)

Even as someone who supports the decriminalization of pot (or at least the right of states to determine as such) and the continued legality of pornography, I think that’s a weak argument.

I don’t think the founding fathers could have imagined pot or pornography in the sense that we know it.

The founders didn't need porn. They just went up stairs with any of the tavern maids that 'worked' the tables on their stage coach stops every twenty miles.

(What? You don't think a stage coach tavern owner didn't try to have 'full service', and attractions beyond refreshments? )

You never forget your first St. Pauli girl. And why was that? St. Pauli is a port side district in Hamburg, German and once famous for prostitution. Anyways, the founders were quite a randy lot, including Washington who married an older rich widow and spent a lot of time away with other men's wives.

Apparently you didn't read the article. They were moral. They believed that morality and religion would keep these evils at bay. Of course leftists, in a relatively short time, managed to destroy morality in America and take it out of our constitution and our government. With that obstacle removed it was only a matter of time until they convinced so called conservatives that their issues (pot, porn and abortion among others) were hot topic issues that are protected by the constitution. Snort...it's like Dr. Evil has succeeded in a master plan.
