Witness another one of nature's flighty hummingbirds, the Libertarian... Take your "hemp for victory" line somewhere else.

[M. T. Cicero II]

On the contrary, I am a conservative Republican and do not use nor advocate the use of marijuana. I find the activities of our ancestors very interesting. I also find revisionist history interesting. Some would find the alcohol story offensive and some would find the hemp story offensive. I love the history and the "humaness" of people from the past.

For example, when the Henry Ford museum was cataloging the personal items from his estate, they found an opium scale and (well-used) pipe, a small bottle of hemp, and 5 rolled hemp cigarettes. Accompanying the photo of these items, in the caption, is a statement to the effect of: "I can't imagine what these were used for."
