George W. Bush smoked marijuana, snorted cocaine, and drank whiskey. Abraham Lincolcn once wrote in a letter that he likes to "sit in his front porch smoking a pipe of a sweet plant" it doesnt say what that plant might be. Bill Clinton smoked marijuana. Some of our founding fathers were alcoholics and smoked mysterious plants, but I cant remember who specifically and if anyone knows for sure what they smoked, could have been anything.

Not a chance.
Hemp has been grown in the US for over 200 years.
But it is safe to say that he is the first black president to do so.

America’s first marijuana law was enacted at Jamestown Colony, Virginia in 1619. It was a law “ordering” all farmers to grow Indian hempseed. There were several other “must grow” laws over the next 200 years (you could be jailed for not growing hemp during times of shortage in Virginia between 1763 and 1767), and during most of that time, hemp was legal tender (you could even pay your taxes with hemp — try that today!) Hemp was such a critical crop for a number of purposes (including essential war requirements – rope, etc.) that the government went out of its way to encourage growth.

The United States Census of 1850 counted 8,327 hemp “plantations” (minimum 2,000-acre farm) growing cannabis hemp for cloth, canvas and even the cordage used for baling cotton

Nope he is the last president that smokes marijuana... the first one was the first president, George Washington... just google it... He had his own cannabis ranch, he smoked it when he had aches in his head or stomach and HEMP (the plant material) was the main resource at the time... to make ropes, paper, builing material, clothes, health food and so on... Even the constitution was written on hemp (and parchment)

Obama was a sequence smoker, yet he initiate quitting! i've got faith he decrease his cigarette intake. i'd desire to assert that left wings attempt to alter too many stuff, yet they are in a position to't discipline themselves. Smoking is a element of the priority interior the society, left says cleanser environment, yet they smoke, they don't recycle, and that they love using their autos ,and so on.
