Cannabis Purchase at the Local ABC Store...

Ganja, Weed, Mary Jane, Marijuana, Blunt, 420, Cannabis, Grass, Herb, Joint, Bud, Pot, Reefer, Green, Smoke, Trees, Sisemilla, Hash, Chronic or whatever you care to call it lawmaker David Englin recently stated “there are respectable members of society are out there secretly purchasing and smoking marijuana, and the money they spend on that is going into the hands of criminals. So this legislation just seeks to find out how much money we could potentially be raising to fund core services of the commonwealth”. I wonder if he’s in fact one of those respectable members of society especially since a study shows there would be big demand in the Tidewater area.

It’s a known fact that Washington and Jefferson tried growing hemp on their Virginia farms, with mixed success. Washington continued to tout the crop after he became president. Jefferson invented a better "hemp brake" to separate the fibers from the stalks, something he thought was so important agriculturally that he refused to patent it. This tells us two things. First, Jefferson ran an advanced marijuana processing facility. Second, possibly he had some medicinal needs.  

Both Jefferson and Washington traded seeds and plants with other farmers on a regular basis as far away as Missouri, the show me state. In conclusion Washington and Jefferson weren't merely marijuana farmers, they were marijuana dealers.

Now put that into your peace pipe and smoke it!
