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)

Me neither. Still, give the prohibitionists more power, they'll get back around to trying to outlaw my Scotch as well. That would not go over well...

You seem to have bought the leftist propaganda hook, line and sinker. Do you think that's it's likely that IF these are accurate quotes that they were using the plant for smoking? Do you think they were growing and selling it so that they could get people stoned? Or do you think there just might be another explanation?
