By the way, interesting tidbits...
Benjamin Franklin was known to smoke hash in France all the time. He also ran one of ran a paper mill that processed hemp. Turns out Ben Franklin was a total pimp (illegitimate sons, apparently some encounters while he was in France, not to mention I know I read like a "guide" to women he once wrote if one were to choose not to marry).
Washington and Jefferson also grew cannabis plants on their plantations, all the time. In fact, Washington or Jefferson (forgot which) wrote a letter instructing his people to soak and dry the female plants several times over. The only reason one would do that is to ensure more THC in those plants (there's no real reason for doing it otherwise). This would ensure more buds, and buds are ONLY used for smoking. I bet Washington smoked all the time.
"Burke asserted that Washington & Jefferson were said to exchange smoking blends as personal gifts. Washington reportedly preferred a pipe full of "the leaves of hemp" to alcohol, & wrote in his diaries that he enjoyed the fragrance of hemp flowers. Madison once remarked that hemp gave him insight to create a new & democratic nation. Monroe, creator of the Monroe Doctrine, began smoking it as Ambassador to France & continued to the age of 73.
