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.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

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.

You have been lied to about cannabis. You don’t have to believe the lies. That’s not a libertarian stance, it’s a medicinal one. Would you like to talk about psychedelics?
