There are reasons for our traditions!

For most of our nation's history, the tradition was to allow the cultivation, possession, and use of marijuana. (Many of our Founding Fathers were agriculturalists heavily invested in marijuana.)

The illegalization of marijuana is thus a relatively recent "blip" in our nation's history - hardly what I would call a "tradition" worthy of upholding.

The founding fathers grew hemp, which is slightly different than pot. And the reason they grew it is because it went into the manufacture of rope which was used in navy ships of the line. They grew it because it was a strategic military need.. Any attempt to paint the founding fathers as a bunch of “wake ‘n bake” potheads is just silly.

But that was before marijuana became a powerful intoxicant. If some guy had figured out how to extract and sell hash oil in 1790, I’m sure the leaders of society and government would not have been too happy about this new vice.

For ROPE. Tell the truth.
