Partially correct. While they did grow industrial cannabis; Washington, Jefferson, and Lincoln all had harvest notes about separating seeds they found more potent.
Lincoln wrote while in office...
"Two of my favorite things are sitting on my porch smoking a pipe of sweet hemp."
Ben Franklin was so high he forgot to be President.
People have these ideas of the Founders being all pious. They were renegades of the highest order.
And for the record the word "marijuana" is a psyop word from the "Reefer Madness" days to make cannabis sound bad. Hemp IS cannabis. Higher THC contents have been bred into cannabis strains by stressing the plants. This medicinal herb (you of all people should know that) has been with us for a long time and readily accepted until the 1950's with the Reefer Madness nonsense (which was also racist as heck).
Now puff puff give, or next round you get skipped.

I don’t believe Elon Musk voted for Biden, not for a minute! He told me that he voted for me, but who knows about that, and who cares? Elon is just trying to make friends with the absolutely horrible Biden Administration because of all the government subsidies he gets, and all the permits he needs. His space company, car company, battery company, tunnel company, and even Twitter, which was illegally controlled by the FBI, need government HELP & SUBSIDIES. HE IS JUST “MENDING FENCES!”

I saw the purported Lincoln quote above also attributed to Thomas Jefferson. I went to the Jefferson site dedicated to authentic quotes. The quote of Jefferson saying that is made up. Seems that someone inserted the name of Lincoln into it. “Renegade” and “doper” are not the same thing.
I’ve done enough debates with libertarian dopers when I used to run into them on FR with one of my ping lists that I am not tricked with pro-mj propaganda.
“they grew fiber hemp”——While I’m not sure how many uses the founders had for hemp a big one came to be the US Navy. Clear up until WW II the US Navy used rope made from hemp and all those old plantation owners were the source for it.
I was reminded of that bit of history when the Movie Tora Tora Tora was being made. One of my friends was hired for a scene where a sailor used an axe to cut a mooring line. But they set him up with a nylon line. He pointed out the rope was wrong and they shut down until they found some hemp rope which was locally available from an old marine store warehouse that I also used to buy from.
No idea how much of the rope actually got smoked but that’s where the old line came from.
