Did forefathers smoke marijuana or other drugs?

Marijuana was used as a drug (as a medication). No one knows if they ever had smoked marijuana. Marijuana was one of many plants normally used in medicine. It was usually placed in alcohol (perhaps with other plants and other drugs). It is likelythat it had been smoked as a medication. The recreational drug of choice was alcohol, and sometimes cocaine dissolved in alcohol. The occasional cocaine use was usually used by women. A common remedy was sold to relieve women's menstrual cramps. This remedy was usually alcohol and cocaine. Women became addicted to the cocaine, and started to use it recreationally. These remedies were legal, as was marijuana.HEMP (not marijuana) was widely used. Hemp seed oil was used in lamps. Hemp was also used as food (mostly for animals). Hemp was also made in to cloth and was used in making sacks. ALL rope on ships were made from hemp. ALL sail cloth for sails on boats was made from hemp. The first Levi's were made from hemp cloth. Hemp was a major & vital plant. It was law that Hemp be grown. During WWII congress mandated that farmers in the Midwest grow hemp for making hemp rope. Remnants of those seeds still grow today (feral hemp). Feral hemp has less than 0.1 percent of THC. It will not make you high but you will be arrested for possession. Both hemp and marijuana are illegal. Both marijuana and hemp hurds (stems, roots, and fibers) are believed to be toxic if eaten**I was only able to find one reference on eating hurds. Hemp (hurds) are used as a source of cellulose fiber. It would be about as safe as eating a tree.
