Written evidence from George Washington shows that he smoked it medicinally (he wrote that it was "too late" to separate the male from the female hemp plant; there is no reason to do so unless you're interested in smoking it), so it's not wholly unbelievable that Jefferson might have indulged too. He must have known about its effects if Washington did, and back then nobody thought smoking was unhealthy, so I see no reason why he wouldn't.
ermitonto Reviewed by ermitonto on . The Hempest in Boston, Ma So yesterday I went to the hempest for a new dry piece. I spent 150 on this gorgeous piece that looks like a saxaphone except its blue in color and has like stars inside little glass balls. I wish my camera wasnt broken i could show the pic, its pretty sweet, but the coolest part was when i got my change back from the guy i got a brand spankin new 2 dollar bill. There was a stamped Cartoon speech bubble and it said, I GREW HEMP, coming from jeffersons mouth. I dont know if he gives that change Rating: 5
