Uh... Dude doesn't even know US history. Our biggest cultivated product pre-revolution was hemp. Several founding fathers, including Washington, cultivated and consumed cannabis. We are a country of pot heads. While the driving forces to ban it here were entirely because of racism and greed.
I guess they might also want to revert back to the glory days when the nation was so consistently and pervasively drunk off its ass that prohibition actually passed.
So Hamilton was probably a stoner? Cool!
"Give me the chronic, or give me death!"
Hamilton was a huge piece of shit.
I mean all the founders were.
Thomas Paine was pretty cool
I am not throwin' away my pot! 🎵

Trump has never once in his life made an effort to know a single thing, and if there's one thing he knows the least about, it's the history of the country he leads.
Leads is doing a lot of heavy lifting there lol
Glad you posted it, cause I was about to
Fun fact Herodotus hot boxed with the Scythians.
