(You) Constitution - 1789. Founding Father who said smoking dope was a Constitutional right - nada.

(Thomas Jefferson, December 29, 1815) "A method of removing the difficulty of preparing hemp occurred to me .... To a person having a threshing machine, the addition of a hemp-break [constructed on my plan enables it to be] more perfectly beaten than I have ever seen done by hand .... I expect that a single horse will do the breaking and beating of ten men. Something of this kind has been so long wanted by the cultivators of hemp that .... I shall probably describe it anonymously in the public papers, in order to forestall the prevention of its use by some interloping patentee."
