"I thank you as well for the Seeds as for the Pamphlets which you had the goodness to send me. The artificial preparation of Hemp, from Silesia, is really a curiosity; and I shall think myself much favored in the continuance of your corrispondence. ..."- The writings of George Washington Vol 33 To DOCTOR JAMES ANDERSON
Thanks for pitching in.
I read that Washington had people smuggle in hi-test hemp seeds from China, and if the people smuggling the seeds would have been caught by the Chinese, they would have been killed. Smuggled seeds under pain of death.
Know anything about that?
