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.

I disagree. Attempts to paint the founders as growers of hemp for narcotic purposes is a DELIBERATE LIE.
It is a purposeful effort to mislead people as to the truth of our history and present it in a manner that is helpful to their efforts to legalize drugs.
Once again, it isn't silly, it's LYING. It is willful deception.
