  • After cannabis made its way to New England in 1629, from then until after the Civil War, it became an absolutely vital crop in North America. It played a key role in both colonial times and the country's economic plans. In 1775, people started growing hemp in Kentucky, and big hemp farms popped up in Mississippi, Georgia, California, South Carolina, and Nebraska throughout the 1800s.

    I enjoyed this, as a kid in the early 1970's in Southern Oregon, living in what people would call the sticks, not very populated. The hippies from CA would come up and plant mj on my elderly neighbors property. To shorten the story the narcs as law enforcement was called then came out pulled the plants up and leave their business card, yes the cops left their business card. They then went to the other end of the property to the house of the elderly couple and asked my 78 year old neighbor and her 96 year old husband if they knew what these plants were. My elderly neighbor could hardly contain herself as she related the conversation. She said she just played dumb saying , "well no sir I sure don't." Then she laughed and told us she knew exactly what it was, " back home in Missouri (where she was born) we called that loco weed". We all had a good laugh.
    Note: Also in the 1970's Josephine County,OR made the cover of Time Magazine as the pot growing capital of the US! It was not something to be proud of. We did also have the best County Fair in the state of Oregon at the time.

    Hemp was what sails and ropes where made of, which made it essential to the colonial era. Like a kind of oil equivalent. No hemp, no ships, no colonies. Most hemp came from Russia, as it was a very labour-intensive crop. During the Napoleonic times, the British blocked hemp shipments from Russia to France, which is why Napoleon invaded Russia.
    The French also tried to force the colonists in the new world to grow hemp, but it was too much work, so they generally didn't. But down in the southern colonies, where slave labor was legal, hemp production thrived and became one of the main cash crops, as well as raw material for domestic rope and sail production. Again, it was like the oil of its day.

      Cannabis cultivation and selection has been going on for roughly 12,000 years. This means our ancestors specifically selected and bred cannabis varieties for rope, for fuel, and even drugs. The distinction was made long ago. The varieties of cannabis brought to Jamestown and cultivated for its fiber had little to no psychoactive effects and when consumed it was predominantly used as a substitute or additive for tobacco. The wild hemp stands still flourishing in America today are descendants of those cultivars bred for rope, and that is why they wouldn't get you high 200 years ago, nor will they get you high today

      My buddy got stoned with Commander Cody - the late, great George Frayne. George said he met an original band member of Bob Wills' Texas Playboys, who complimented George on his version of "San Antonio Rose" and said the Playboys were likely stoned when they originally cut it. George said - "I knew it!!! You just can't play that stuff straight!!!"

    My grampa's grampa, my great great, grew hemp. Granny, grew some really good smoking weed. In her herb garden. She also grew Opium Poppies along with a host of other medicinal herbs like Echinacea. It was legal then. Grand Dad said she grew her stuff in hills of dirt that she mixed with manure and compost(Chicken, Goat, Cow and Pig) and cut down any males. She spaced them about 3 feet apart. Her hubby grew the same strain only planted very thickly like wheat so it wouldn't branch and produce long fibers good for, rope and cloth. Grand Dad said they would smoke it out in the barn and granny always had a couple of pies ready for them. He said it was good stuff. She was born in the 1840's and lived into the late 1930's. I think she died a year or 2 before it was made illegal in 1937.

    🎶The poets tell how Pancho fell
    And Lefty's living in cheap hotels
    The desert's quiet, Cleveland's cold
    And so the story ends we're told
    Pancho needs your prayers it's true
    But save a few for Lefty too
    He only did what he had to do
    And now he's growing old
    All the Federales say
    We could have had him any day
    We only let him go so long
    Out of kindness, I suppose🎶
    Poncho & Lefty by Thomas Vanzant
