Geez Roscoe, I thought you were the constitution expert...That's why I asked the question instead of making a statement of fact. I don't remember for sure, but I believe the Jefferson reference can be found in federalist #48, but Adams in federalist #45 is pretty good too. Since neither of us seem to know the constituion well enough to debate this point, I'll concede to you so we can get past it and on to an easier reference. I'll go with the most famous Libertarian in history, George Washington.
"Make the most of the Indian hemp seed, and sow it everywhere!"

The father of our country was a Marijuana grower for over thirty years. He used it to treat his chronic tooth aches.

"The Writings of George Washington" Volume 33, page 270.
You'll notice George said "Indian Hemp".
Indian Hemp is Cannibis Indica, used for smoking.
Cannabis Sativa is used for making rope.

Can our aggie 'smoking prohibitionist' comment on this founding fathers defense of an "arbitrary right"?

Not likely....
Thanks, R-man.

JAMES MADISON, not Thomas Jefferson, wrote Federalist Paper #48.

famous Libertarian in history, George Washington.

Another example of the BIG lie.
