200 Celebrities/Famous People Who Smoke Pot

Thomas Jefferson: "Some of my finest hours have been spent sitting on my back veranda, smoking hemp
 
The extent of cannabis smoking during the Colonial era is still subject to debate. President George Washington wrote a letter that contained an oblique reference to what may have been hashish. "The artificial preparation of hemp, from Silesia, is really a curiosity." 38 Washington made specific written references to Indian hemp, or cannabis indica, and hoped to "have disseminated the seed to others. " 39 His August 7, 1765 diary entry, "began to separate the male from the female (hemp) plants," describes a harvesting technique favored to enhance the potency of smoking cannabis, among other reasons. 40 Hemp farmer Thomas Jefferson and paper maker Ben Franklin were ambassadors to France during the initial surge of the hashish vogue. Their celebrity status and progressive revolutionary image afforded them ample opportunities to try new experiences. Jefferson smuggled Chinese hemp seeds to America and is credited with the phrase in the Declaration of Independence, "Life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness."
Did the Founding Fathers of the United States of America smoke cannabis? Some researchers think so. Dr. Burke, president of the American Historical Reference Society and a consultant for the Smithsonian Institute, counted seven early presidents as cannabis smokers: George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, James Madison, James Monroe, Andrew Jackson, Zachary Taylor and Franklin Pierce. 41 "Early letters from our founding fathers refer to the pleasures of hemp smoking," said Burke. Pierce, Taylor and Jackson, all military men, smoked it with their troops. Cannabis was twice as popular among American soldiers in the Mexican War as in Vietnam: Pierce wrote to his family that it was "about the only good thing" about that war.

Central and Western African natives were farming and harvesting cannabis sativa in North America as slaves. If they did smoke on the plantations, that would be kept secret. 42 By the time of the Louisiana purchase in 1803, New Orleans had a mixed Spanish, French, Creole, Cajun, Mexican and Black population. The city teemed with adventurers and sailors, wise to the ways of cannabis. It was mixed with tobacco or smoked alone, used to season food 43, to treat insomnia and impotence, and so on.
 
Our founding fathers smoked - even as they created our country. Hemp was a huge crop in Colonial days and Marijuana was not illegal until 1939. What do you think they put in the 'peace pipes'!:popcorn:

Zac Brown Band( song toes in the sand" lay in the hot sun and roll a big fat one")There are references in every genre of entertainment. Weeds for example; haven't seen the show but we are getting more and more mainstream everyday!!!!!
Just think, hopefully b4 I pass on I will no longer be looked at as a criminal because I use Cannabis. I tell everyone that asks and some who do not, That I am a Proud Consumer of cannabis.We as a group are the safest and most peaceloving segment of our society, and yet we are being prosecuted for making a safer, wiser choice than alcohol. Hopefully everyone who reads this will tell their friends, relatives that they are Proud users of Cannabis. We are making the right choice despite what the gov, is trying to shove down everyone's throat. Peace Out and tell everyone the truth!!!
