Well, aside from the liner notes on Pink Floyd's Ummagumma album, it's not widely known…
Slater’s most likely right, man. George probably dug smoking weed and so did several other founding fathers…so let’s check the facts and honor those notable presidential stoners!
George Washington famously said: “Make the most of the Indian hemp seed, and sow it everywhere!” Sure, he realized it was a kick-ass supercrop. He realized it’s value and in 1762, his hometown of Virginia awarded bounties for growing weed and not only that they imposed stiff penalties on those who didn’t! But, we’re claiming that George liked to get high, not just make rope and soap and shit.
Anyone who’s grown weed or even smoked a li’l will tell ya that those pesky seeds make terrible smoke. Sinsimilla, the Spanish word for without seeds is a highly potent marijuana from female plants specially tended and kept seedless by preventing pollination in order to induce a high resin content. The only real reason to remove seeds and to seek out female weed is to smoke it and we’ve got record that George did just that.
August 7, 1765: “–began to seperate (sic) the Male from the Female Hemp at Do–rather too late.”
There’s all sorts of information in his diary that proves evidence that he liked to smoke weed recreationally and medicinally. You don’t think those fuckin’ wooden teeth didn’t hurt? C’mon…weed was asprin back then.
James Madison was such a stoner that while stoned he conceived of the idea to create a new and democratic nation! So you see…honoring our presidents and their stoned vision of creating a great democratic nation is just another way to honor our precious herb. Anyhow, happy Presidents Day from Stuff Stoners Like.
