No Myth! It is fully documented. Hemp production was essential to a strong Navy. No ships could sail without the hemp for ropes which had to be replaced frequently. It was grown commercially all over the eastern seaboard before it was made illegal. I have a great 1920's encyclopedia showing fields being harvested by machine and detailed info on production.

If you know anything about Thomas Jefferson, then you'll know that he lived beyond his means. One of Jefferson's vices was fine wines imported from France, which were expensive to ship to the American colonies. I question the portrayal of Thomas Jefferson as a pothead. Sounds too much like propaganda.
