NO WAY! he was a good man.

*Yes he did. Whoever answered this originally is severely misinformed. There's no evidence that he smoked it, or used it beyond its industrial uses, but he wrote about growing it in his diary in the 1760's. This in no way has any impact on whether he was a "good man" or not, especially considering it wasn't illegal then, but promoted.

Did George Washington grow weed in his garden?

In 1762, "Virginia awarded bounties for hempculture and manufacture, and imposed penalties upon those who did not produse it." George Washington was growing hemp at Mount Vernon three years later--presumably for its fiber, though it has been argued that Washington was also concerned to increase the medicinal or intoxicating potency of his marijuana plants.* The asterisk footnote: * The argument depends on a curious tradition, which may or may not be sound, that the quality or quantity of marijuana resin (hashish) is enhanced if the male and female plants are separated *before* the females are pollinated. There can be no doubt that Washington separated the males and the females. Two entries in his diary supply the evidence: May 12-13 1765: "Sowed Hemp at Muddy hole by Swamp." August 7, 1765: "--began to separate (sic) the Male from the Female Hemp at Do--rather too late." George Andrews has argued, in _The Book of Grass: An Anthology of Indian Hemp_ (1967), that Washington's August 7 diary entry "clearly indiactes that he was cultivating the plant for medicinal purposes as well for its fiber." [7] He might have separated the males from the females to get better fiber, Andrew concedes--but his phrase "rather too late" suggests that he wanted to complete the separation *before the female plants were fertilized*--and this was a practice related to drug potency rather that to fiber culture.
