“Several of the founder’s write in their papers about smoking hemp, it was the major crop along with to tobacco in the colonies.”

The word “founder’s” can only be a contraction of “founder is” or a possessive that refers to something that belongs to or pertains to a founder. Apstrophes are never, never, never used to form plurals, even if the U.S. Government Style Manual says they can be, the illiterate b*stards.

That said, do you have any citations from the writings of Founding Fathers to demonstrate the truth of your claim?

It should be noted that hemp was used to make rope and fabrics. It is a misconception that demand for hemp for smoking made it a major crop.
