George Templeton Strong’s experience with marijuana (or hash, same thing) convinces me that use of marijuana was a waste of time before the advent of television and Doritoes.

Hmmm. He doesn’t report getting the munchies.

September 9. We turned out to see the Grand Democratic Torchlight Procession. Large certainly, but rather straggling, and with a large infusion of youthful Democrats who’ll hardly grow enough to vote next November! Not very joyous or enthusiastic and greeted by little outside hurrahing. The news from Maine hasn’t helped to make them jolly. That rather doubtful state seems to have gone Republican with a rush. Fremont forever! *

* In the state election in Maine, with Hannibal Hamlin running for governor, the Republicans triumphed by a vote of roughly 67,000 to 42,500. They won by a still greater margin in Vermont, the vote being nearly three to one.
