hopefully he means big pharma, i smoke weed (like the founding fathers) and i'm not amused by this statement
Agreed, but as far as I know, there is no evidence the founding fathers smoked cannabis.
The type of cannabis sativa they raised was industrial hemp.
If I'm mistaken, I'd love to see the evidence. Would twist up a tasty toasty one in celebration if true!

Qeq
Cheq it:
Did they actually smoke?
Nearly impossible to prove, but such fun to speculate about, the smoking habits of the founding fathers will likely remain a secret lost in time. Thomas Jefferson is known to have imported seeds from Asia and it is easy to presume that he was aware of the hemp culture there, which is believed to be the place of origin of cannabis.
According to Dr. Burke, who was the President of the American Historical Reference Society, “Early letters from our founding fathers refer to the pleasures of hemp smoking,”. Burke also listed seven of the earliest Presidents of the United States as hemp smokers: George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, James Madison, James Monroe, Andrew Jackson, Zachary Taylor and Franklin Pierce.

[This single, quickly found article doesn't constitute proof of what it claims, of course...it just gives a name with a Dr. in front of it who supposedly was the head of an official-sounding organizational name; and alleges seven US presidents smoked hemp.]
Yeah, But Did They Get High?
Here's the deep dive:
https://hightimes.com/culture/flying-founding-fathers/
"Anyone who has ever farmed cannabis knows that just being around the plants can sometimes be intoxicating. From that point of view it’s difficult to imagine that the colonists didn’t know about getting high. Not necessarily from smoking—there is simply no literature at all to suggest that cannabis was in any way smoked by the colonists. On the other hand, Marcandier’s Treatise on Hemp, published in Boston in 1766, says that tea and wine made from cannabis were intoxicants, and that even when used externally as poultices, the odor was so strong it not only numbed but intoxicated.
"The other side: 1) The cannabis was grown for fibre, not narcotic in this country; 2) Alcohol was the drug of the day, supplemented by legal, available opiates, as well as tobacco."
BTW just for fun
In parts of Mexico this is called potiguaya, potaguaya, or potación de guaya (grief potion); used for stress relief
Shortening of 'potion' → 'pot'

Yeah somehow I don’t think he’s talking about the potheads. 👀 Don’t worry
when he says 'other countries dont have a drug problem' he means muslim countries like singapore, where not only marijuana is illegal, but also tobacco and alcohol. so yeah, im a little apprehensive.
just skeptical, as always. I would have to think it was possible to vote your way out of communism to be paranoid about anything trump says.
The guy who made hemp federally legal? No, he's not talking about pot. Hes smart and wise enough to know it doest kill people.
This anon gets it
Too many benefits of medicinal cannabis to assume that it's grouped together with Big Pharma drugs and crack/coke/meth/etc.
This is just another wait and see deal, but I don't think they'd make pot or pot dealing illegal. Just my hunch.
He said drug dealers not pot heads
the statement was very vague and open for interpretation. weed might be legal in your state, but its not here. so the people i buy from would be considered drug dealers.
Exactly. Not amused at all. Plants are gifts from God. They have helped me heal in ways pharmaceuticals could never do.
If it helps Trump did pardon a bunch of people that were jailed for non violent pot offenses as they often got some insane sentences which made no sense.
