    Our founders were buzzed as they drafted the constitution for the United Stoners of America.

    YES #1 – George Washington: The father of our country kept meticulous diaries, wherein he noted “Sowed hemp at muddy hole by swamp” away from the hemp he grew for fiber. “Began to separate the male from female plants at do [sic –rather too late” and “Pulling up the (male) hemp.

There is also indication he used hemp preparations to deal with his toothaches. http://www.hightimes.com/read/11-us-presidents-who-smoked-marijuana

    My crazy-assed dead stepmother, who thought that AC/DC stood for “Anti-Christ/Devil’s Child, smoked weed a time or two. I can walk down the street and buy enough alcohol, the detrimental effects of which are well documented, to kill a horse. But heaven forbid if you smoke a weed that makes you feel funny, because some jagoff newspaper owner owned a forest.
