I know hemp was/is an agricultural product. I don't believe for a minute Washington was a pothead. It's like gays saying Abe Lincoln was gay cause he once had a roommate.

The common usage, at that time, was to blend pot with tobacco.

A little documentation would be in order. I don't believe it.

..FU's .<
That may be your impression .. but a FACT??
What research do you base that statement on?

Just knowing people who use dope over the last 35 years or so.
You'd be better claiming - ah, they'd be FU's anyway.

Why haven't most of the potheads I've known confined themselves to pot?<

1. Most of the pot heads that have let you know might qualify.

Qualify as what?

2. You seem to be referring to the "gateway" theory.

I'm not referring to any theory. I'm talking about the real dopers/potheads I've known.

The vast majority of people that use pot never use any other illegal drugs. Therefor it should be called a "terminus" drug and not "gateway."

I suspect there's something misleading in that claim. What I suspect is misleading is that the vast majority of people use pot do so once or a few times and drop it. And they never go on to anything else. But of the people who become regular long-term users of marijuana, I suspect the percent who go on to other drugs is pretty high.

"I know a woman who says her husband has taken to smoking weed every night. Yet he still puts down a six-pack each night too. Why hasn't this guy stopped drinking?"

Perhaps he should increase the dosage.

Yeah, I guess if he smoked enough to be unable to pick up a brew ... Course, I assume he gets the sixpack first on the way home and starts with it first.
