• Im Canadian and I even knew that the founding fathers grew hemp....lol

• HAHAHA... I think even if they would have added that, they would say no, we make the law, and it's supreme... and even over Constitution. Hell, they already have Congress shall make no law.... and that doesn't even stop them from violating the protections of the First Amendment.  It's really sad. 

• ..............Newt Boy. I believe if the Founders realized that some day some arrogant assholes would gain power and criminalize cannabis that they would have implemented the "Right to Smoke Cannabis" Article into the Bill of Rights. But, not even the wisest men on Earth could have believed that the country would be soon run by Arrogant, Greedy, Mentally ill, power hungry psychopaths such as yourself, Bush, Et el. The whole GD Republican Party are all self centered dickheads. They have become the reason why our Fathers put Provisions for Revolution in the Constitution. Assholes.

• A nation of vile whores,and people think this man has gerent ability ? He's actually quisling for the bankers who are offshore now.  An unbelievable chimera in 2012...

• Public intoxication on the order of falling down drunk was considered almost a religious offense, yes, but punishment was reserved for those who refused to work and instead begged for money for intoxicants.  Industriousness of all that were capable of working was required just for the society to keep going.  As I stated above, Jefferson brought in sativa strains from India specifically for it's other uses.  Every doctor had cannabis tincture (what we would call hemp oil) in his medical bag and it was used for numerous purposes, and considered invaluable.  It was also exceedingly common for men to put whatever was handy into a pipe and smoke it.  After using the stalk for fibers, you've got a lot of leaves left over.  Tobacco, various herbs and cannabis would have all been used.  They would have known the different psychoactive effects of them all, and would have simply enjoyed them.  It took the crazy religious nutjobs to consider making something that was harmless fun into a 'sin'.  Sound familiar?  We still have these crazies with us today, but they have the power of courts and law behind them.  Gingrich is an example of what the rabid Puritanical preachers would have been like, and just as ill-informed and hypocritical. 

• I'm a bit of a student of the Revolutionary War era (unlike Newt, apparently).  The Founding Fathers, and damn near everyone else back then including youngsters, were inebriated damn near 24/7 and stoned quite a bit of the time also.  Since plain water was suspect and could make you ill and they had no idea of germ theory, everyone knew that to avoid illness, you should drink ale (a watered down beer back then) or something first boiled; thus tea and the importance this took in the taxation disagreements that led to the Boston Tea Party.   It would have been common on a daily basis for people like the FFs to get together over several tankers of ale and discuss the issues of the day, and they smoked a lot of things besides just tobacco, and I dare say the change of consciousness this provided was what gave them the nerve to tell King George to stick it...  Cannabis was common in Europe, Asia and the Americas by their era.   For a people who had little in the way of pain killers besides alcohol and cannabis, and no dental care save for tooth pulling, and all the aches and pains that anyone who works hard will have, both alcohol and cannabis were one of their few joys in life.  I truly cannot believe Gingrich's stark ignorance on this topic.  This takes talking the party line to new, ignoramus heights.  And meanwhile, Ron Paul and Gary Johnson who want to  legalize the stuff are 'crazy people' not worth the time of day to the party...

• The drafts were written on hemp paper.  The final copy is on vellum, lambskin, for permanence.

• Yes, everybody smoked it. People back then put all sorts of things into pipes. There's a location at Mt. Vernon (Washington's home) in the house garden labeled 'cannabis', of course they have nothing growing there.  Apparently their freedom was a helluva lot more than ours.  They were fully aware of its uses for not only rope and fabric but medicinally.  Every country doctor included cannabis in tinctures in his medical bag, used as a painkiller for everyone from babies to the dying aged.  It has been found in gravesites from 1000s of years ago, being considered important for the spirit to take into the next life.  Jefferson was known to have brought Indian sativa seeds into the US for cultivation, so they understood that different strains had different properties.  The glorious age of sailing would have been impossible without the strength and endurance of hemp sails... We have direct first person evidence that Lincoln smoked, he wrote as much to an acquaintance. The fact that Newtie the Historian doesn't know this is appalling.  Revoke that idiot's degrees! 

• Another reason to get working on that time machine!

• Kinda makes ya wanna sneak into the Republican National Convention and put cannacookies on all the buffet tables, doonit?  The totally weird thing about that is, the PTB would consider it an act of terrorism, and the rest of the world would consider it a Giant Leap for Mankind.

• Ron Paul is the only one that is willing to follow the consitution.  The Federal government and most of our elected officials are out of control.  Lets elect a president that really believes in the freedom our forefathers shed their blood for.,   Ron Paul 2012.  Help save this country before it is too late! Guy

• We don't have to wait for change...Let's start by voting in only those who support our personal liberty. this is the U.S.A, and we need to get to being a nation of free citizens. First we must oppose, and get rid of any elected person who is opposed to our freedom. When thousands of law abiding citizens have been incarcerated, had their property stolen by the government, lost their job, been separated from their family, and friends, because they chose to possess or use cannabis, due to laws enacted by a fascist government seeking to infringe on the liberty of the citIzens, it is long past time to make changes. We the people MUST take back control from this government through our voices, and votes. Take a little time to research the candidates. Also, take note of those who are receiving money toward their campaign from certain wealthy people, or certain business, or industry. Should we be electing those who can run a great campaign, because some person or entity is filling their coffers, and looking for a string input on your freedoms? I hope you will take time this election to research, and think about these things.

• This only proves how ignorant the newt, and any pro-Prohibitionist politician is. Cannabis, hemp, was grown by our founding fathers, and early Americans. Any GOP candidate who wants our votes better be for the end of the prohibition of cannabis, marijuana.

• He is doing a good job of killing his chances...

• I suggest you look into Ron Paul, the only guy who wants to end the drug war and stay out of your personal business. Sounds great right? The media doesn't want you to know that though. In fact, they don't want you to know he exists beyond physicalness.

• We have Ron Paul! He is not perfect but he is most certainly better than the rest of the GOP or Obama. Personal freedom is what we need!

• these same folks drank wine/beer/liquor all day long and used cocaine and opium as daily remedies. Snuff was a natural part of the day. Have you ever read about Ben Franklin??? He was a slut... ;D

• I'm up for it

• "potheads just looking for their next toke".. huh.. I thought myself and many others were just looking for the right to use a natural medicine to help us heal our own bodies as the medicine provided by the establishment in this country tends to make one sick.. I should know- my fibromyalgia+++ is now in remission!!!! and I am off the 5 Big Pharma drugs I used to take- now just cannabis. No (bad ;) side effects and I have lost 90 pounds while regaining my health.. but I suppose I should feel bad for being *a pothead* and go back to being an obese disabled person reliant on pills to get thru the day.. would that make you happy??!!!!!!

• Ron Paul is an ass on every other subject.. his statements on this one subject should not keep folks from seeing how off he is on every other point.

• "When asked, just a little later, about the high rate of imprisonment among young people due to the drug laws, Gingrich answered, "I think the best thing is to get young people not to do drugs and then you won't be dealing with criminals that you just described."" if this guy is president all of the united states hopes will be diminished. I'm speaking specifically abut his latter section of the quote. get them to not do drugs but all we do is imprison them for doing so. then when they get out and do drugs again they go right back in how the fuck does this moronic idiot expect us to not have criminals described as people doing drugs ending up in prison when our only method for preventing drug use is prison? dude's a fucktard.

• The variety of hemp that was grown in early America was actually grown for its long fine fibers and had only trace drug content. The variety that is grown for drug use is grown for its drug content and has essentially no long fine fibers. Modern weed and the hemp grown for fiber in early America are two vastly different entities. More than that, our very conservative founding fathers lived in a time when sobriety and temperance were strictly enforced. After building a courthouse, towns generally went to work building a whipping post and a set of stocks, and they were liberally used. Those same towns have records of arrests for intoxication; at this time manslaughter and larceny were crimes commonly punished by death.  Anyone who would think that the founders would have tolerated dope-smoking has no idea what the times and the people who loved in them were like.

• Add my voice to everyone calling Newt out on his poor ass grasp of history. Hemp was one of George Washington's crops, damn it. Was it for smoking? I have no fucking clue. Was it cannibus? You bet your ass. I'd go so far as to say that the Founding Fathers would have no clue how to approach modern politics. Then again, the Founding Fathers would have no clue how to approach cars.

• twat & troll..

• Newt you are a disgrace for community college grads across the nation. get the hell out of politics. 

• It's well past time where we demanded a psychological evaluation of anyone running for public office.  Far too many of them have daddy issues, mommy issues, sexual hangups to the point of pathology, or the grand masters of psych 101, are sociopaths, psychopaths, narcissists or have delusions of grandeur.  I'm willing to bet readers were ticking off names at the mere mention of these diagnoses.  Haven't We the People suffered from the nutjob sociopaths long enough?  Being as blindly ignorant as Newt Gingrich obviously is (with a history degree no less) should be grounds for incarceration.  May I suggest that we clean out the prisons of nonviolent drug possessors, and fill 'em up instead with all the lying, war-mongering politicians?

• Newt is such an idiot. I'd personally like to slap the shit out of him .

• That's just funny. Both Washington and Jefferson where pot growers. They both would be serving time today. Jefferson would have hanged Newt for treason for selling the US to the Bankers!

• Why would they outlaw it? They believed in freedom. How does your neighbor and fellow citizen smoking MJ effect you or hurt you in anyway? I'm sick of people trying to push their own problems,beliefs and insecurities on people. If you don't like it, mind your own fucking business.

• Are you the one that elected the lying scumbag known as Obama? ;)

• George Washington grew hemp but he separated the males from the females. This is never done for fiber. Either he was getting high off of it or somebody else was.

• I wish they were here. Newt would have been tarred an feathered!!!

• What a stupid tub of goo. I wouldn't vote for this idiot if he was the only one running. Is it just me or does his wife appear to have more plastic in her than a Barbie doll? I will be casting my vote for Gary Johnson. Now that he detached himself from the Retaredcons and went Libertarian, he's the only one worth voting for.

• He's such a fucking jackass.  How can someone be so disassociated from reality?

• If Gingrich were an Inuit, someone would push him off the ice for the good of the tribe.

• What happened to LIBERTY???

• While I can not stand Newt, I do not think MJ was used much at all back in the 1700s and if they knew the effects of MJ then they would outlaw it. People back then were too busy with, you know, building their OWN home, hunting their OWN food, growing their OWN crops and just trying to stay alive.  They weren't particularly pot heads just looking for their next toke.

• So!  You're the one who got Dubya into office!  ;)

• Wasn't the Declaration of Independence written on hemp paper?

• For non-corporatist, non-propagandist information on hemp, go here -- http://naihc.org/ and here -- Newt was paid to say: "I think Jefferson or George Washington would have rather strongly discouraged you from growing marijuana and their techniques with dealing with it would have been rather more violent than our current government," Gingrich claimed." He well knows how historically inaccurate this is. He's not befuddled, he's a fucking liar! "1791: President Washington sets duties on Hemp to encourage domestic industry. Both George Washington and Thomas Jefferson grew hemp on their plantations." Make the most of the hemp seed. Sow it everywhere. --George Washington Hemp is of first necessity to the wealth and prosperity of the nation. -- Thomas Jefferson http://www.hemphasis.net/History/history.htm "Both George Washington and Thomas Jefferson grew hemp on their plantations and Benjamin Franklin started one of America's firs paper mills, using cannabis (hemp) as the basis. both America's Bill of Rights and our Declaration of Independence were written on hemp paper." http://www.lightparty.com/Energy/Hemp4.html "Prohibition...goes beyond the bounds of reason in that it attempts to control a man's appetite by legislation and makes a crime out of things that are not crimes. A prohibition law strikes a blow at the very principles upon which our government was founded." -- Abraham Lincoln December, 1840

• lol, the founding fathers prolly smoked pot themselves lol. www.Total-Privacy dot US

• Im voting for Ron Paul, but i dont think he has a chance, ya the fathers would bust us all while playing games at http://www.mywebcade.com after some of them , they might change there mind

• someone shove a flag up his ass!!!

• Yeah... We are going down a BAD road.. A govt that works against us, and not for us. We have a supreme court who allows the federal side to bypass and violate our Constitution.  You idiots.... it takes a Constitutional Amendment to change the Constitution. There is  no Constitutional MUSTER,EXCEPTIONS, EXEMPTIONS or BENDING of it for SAFETY, or SECURITY. Should it be  treason to act, or pass legislation that violates our basic rights, and Constitutional Rights??????  The Supreme Court is not allowed to make law.... Simple

• Newt Gingrich Says He Cheated on His Wife Because of HisPassionate Love for His Country. I really this think he needs to be drug tested for all the crazy stuff that comes out of his mouth. And who knows of all the other possible related things that make people question his actions.

• HAHAHA... I've never heard or read of anyone on here wanting to piss on someone!!!   But I see where your coming from and I agree with you with the prior statements. 

• Yeah they would have busted it to write the (former?) constitution on the paper made of it. Look at that blimp....

• Is he serious? George Washington grew and used hemp. Salamander Gingrich is a fucking idiot. "Get young people not to use drugs"? What about all the prescription drugs this country pumps into kids for depression and ADHD? How many drugs does he take for his fat ass to keep pumping blood around his body? Fucking hypocrite. I piss on him and his ugly wife.

• First, Full Disclosure: I'm a Republican.Second, Newt Gingrich is a brainless clod.

• Just a desparate attempt to grab headlines on the way down.

• Not my fault, I've only voted once in my life and it was for Ralph Nader in 2004. I will never vote again. I will be at home masturbating instead. 

• Yeah, the man who encouraged people to grow marijuana would attack you for it, even though it was legal until 1937. Dumassmuddafucka

• Maetan- That's what our parents said back in the 60's. Get these old uneducated fucks out of office and we can finally have a free America. Our parents turned their backs on us and sold us out. Time to just have a good ol' fashioned slaughtering of politicians. Meet me at the Dumpster behind Macy's at midnight and we'll round the troops. =) 

• Forgot one.... We shall, by and by, want a world of hemp more for our own consumption."  - John Adams, U.S. President quote on Hemp

• "Hemp is of first necessity to the wealth & protection of the country." - Thomas Jefferson, U.S. President quote on Hemp "Make the most you can of the Indian Hemp seed and sow it everywhere." - George Washington, U.S. President quote on Hemp Really sounds like they would bust you hard for it.

• What a dumbass! Washington grew hemp you dimwad! Now growing hemp is more illegal than driving drunk. He must be drunk. This is why American policy sucks so bad about civil rights... we elect idiots like this!!! It's YOUR fault America.

• How can there be a political article on this site and nowhere in the comments do I see the name I'm looking for............ !!!!!!!!!!!RON PAUL!!!!!!!!!!    the cannabis industry should be highlighting this man

• A little history lesson from the Huffington Post for the consummate ass that is Mr. Lizard: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/robbie-gennet/on-role-models-and-their_b_164387.html The Michael Phelps bong "scandal" has brought new attention to marijuana and those who smoke it, especially those we consider to be "role models." So I decided to gather some quotes from some other "rode models" to gain a little perspective on the issue. And whether the issue is smoking cannabis or growing hemp for food/fuel/fiber, some of our greatest role models have a lot to say on the subject. Consider that back in the early days of the U.S., hemp was grown for both industrial and recreational reasons, as you can see in the quotes below. The fact that Olympians, scientists and Presidents have all achieved great success after or while using marijuana destroys the myths of marijuana danger and the "gateway drug" theory. President Obama is still having a hard time quitting tobacco but had no issues quitting marijuana, while good old Honest Abe Lincoln smoked "sweet hemp" during his presidency! So let's let our greatest leaders and role models speak for themselves: "Two of my favorite things are sitting on my front porch smoking a pipe of sweet hemp, and playing my Hohner harmonica." - Abraham Lincoln (from a letter written by Lincoln during his presidency to the head of the Hohner Harmonica Company in Germany) "Hemp is of first necessity to the wealth & protection of the country." - Thomas Jefferson, U.S. President "Make the most you can of the Indian Hemp seed and sow it everywhere." - George Washington, U.S. President "We shall, by and by, want a world of hemp more for our own consumption." - John Adams, U.S. President "Penalties against possession of a drug should not be more damaging to an individual than the use of the drug itself; and where they are, they should be changed. Nowhere is this more clear than in the laws against possession of marihuana in private for personal use... Therefore, I support legislation amending Federal law to eliminate all Federal criminal penalties for the possession of up to one ounce of marihuana." - Jimmy Carter, U.S. President "I inhaled frequently. That was the point." - Barack Obama, U.S. President "The war on drugs has been an utter failure. We need to rethink and decriminalize our nation's marijuana laws." -Barack Obama, January 2004 "The illegality of cannabis is outrageous, an impediment to full utilization of a drug which helps produce the serenity and insight, sensitivity and fellowship so desperately needed in this increasingly mad and dangerous world." - Carl Sagan, renown scientist, astronomer, astrochemist, author and TV host "Why use up the forests which were centuries in the making and the mines which required ages to lay down, if we can get the equivalent of forest and mineral products in the annual growth of the hemp fields?" - Henry Ford, whose first Model-T was constructed from hemp fibers and built to run on hemp gasoline "Prohibition... goes beyond the bound of reason in that it attempts to control a man's appetite by legislation and makes a crime out of things that are not crimes. A prohibition law strikes a blow at the very principles upon which our government was founded" -Abraham Lincoln "The prestige of government has undoubtedly been lowered considerably by the prohibition law. For nothing is more destructive of respect for the government and the law of the land than passing laws which cannot be enforced. It is an open secret that the dangerous increase of crime in this country is closely connected with this." - Albert Einstein quote on Hemp "That is not a drug. It's a leaf." - Arnold Schwarzenegger, Governor of California Let's end with a quote from one of the most clueless U.S. Presidents, who evidently thought of himself as an authority on cannabis: "I now have absolute proof that smoking even one marijuana cigarette is equal in brain damage to being on Bikini Island during an H-bomb blast" - Ronald Reagan Perhaps with all the evidence coming out that marijuana may help prevent Alzheimer's, it is possible that Reagan's affliction could have been halted or prevented by the herb he so vilified. The powers that maintain the illogical status quo for marijuana's illegality are feeling a seismic shift beneath their skewed logic and paranoid rhetoric. When scientific research is unambiguously and evenly applied to marijuana, the current laws and prohibition cannot and will not stand. "If the words "life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness" don't include the right to experiment with your own consciousness, then the Declaration of Independence isn't worth the hemp it was written on." - Terence McKenna ---------- A few facts about Hemp, in case you were wondering: The first Bibles, maps, charts, Betsy Ross's flag, the first drafts of the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution were made from hemp. 80% of all textiles, fabrics, clothes, linen, drapes, bed sheets, etc. were made from hemp until the 1820s with the introduction of the cotton gin. It was legal to pay taxes with Hemp in America from 1631 until the early 1800s. Refusing to grow Hemp in America during the 17th and 18th Centuries was against the law. You could be jailed in Virginia for refusing to grow hemp from 1763 to 1769. Rembrants, Gainsboroughs, Van Goghs as well as most early canvas paintings were principally painted on hemp linen. In 1916, the U.S. Government Dept. of Agriculture predicted that by the 1940s all paper would come from hemp and that no more trees need to be cut down. For thousands of years, 90% of all ships' sails and rope were made from hemp. The word 'canvas' is Dutch for cannabis. The hemp plant produces up to four times more cellulose per acre than trees. Hemp cultivation and production do not harm the environment. The USDA Bulletin #404 concluded that Hemp produces 4 times as much pulp with at least 4 to 7 times less pollution. Hemp fuel is non-toxic, biodegradable and does not contribute to sulfur dioxide air poisoning. In Feb. 1938, Popular Mechanics called Hemp a 'Billion Dollar Crop.' It was the first time a cash crop had a business potential to exceed a billion dollars. The following information comes directly from the United States Department of Agriculture's 1942 14-minute film encouraging and instructing 'patriotic American farmers' to grow 350,000 acres of hemp each year for the war effort: '...(When) Grecian temples were new, hemp was already old in the service of mankind. For thousands of years, even then, this plant had been grown for cordage and cloth in China and elsewhere in the East. For centuries prior to about 1850, all the ships that sailed the western seas were rigged with hempen rope and sails. For the sailor, no less than the hangman, hemp was indispensable... ...Now with Philippine and East Indian sources of hemp in the hands of the Japanese...American hemp must meet the needs of our Army and Navy as well as of our industries... ...the Navy's rapidly dwindling reserves. When that is gone, American hemp will go on duty again; hemp for mooring ships; hemp for tow lines; hemp for tackle and gear; hemp for countless naval uses both on ship and shore. Just as in the days when Old Ironsides sailed the seas victorious with her hempen shrouds and hempen sails. Hemp for victory!' Gary Johnson for President!

• Having lived in Singapore i can assure you that the cannabis use there amongst expats is pretty high, and local use has increased as well. needlessly to say the stuff you get is terrible but its definitely not stopping the people from using it. In fact the fact that it's so tightly regulated means that no-one knows how it smells, or even looks like, hence if you are smart about it you shouldn't get caught.

• ‎"An acre of the best ground for hemp, is to be selected and sewn in hemp and be kept for a permanent hemp patch." - Thomas Jefferson's Garden book "The culture [of tobacco] is pernicious. This plant greatly exhausts the soil. Of course, it requires much manure, therefore other productions are deprived of manure, yielding no nourishment for cattle, there is no return for the manure expended... It is impolitic... The fact well established in the system of agriculture is that the best hemp and the best tobacco grow on the same kind of soil. The former article is of the first necessity to the commerce and marine, in other words to the wealth and protection of the country. The latter, never useful and sometimes pernicious, derives its estimation from caprice, and its best value from the taxes to which it was formerly exposed..."-- Thomas JeffersonFarm Journal (16 March 1791)“Make the most of the Indian hemp seed, sow it everywhere.”-George Washington"What was done with the seed saved from the India Hemp last summer? It ought, all of it, to have been sewn again; that not only a stock of seed sufficient for my own purposes might have been raised, but to have disseminated the seed to others; as it is more valuable than the common Hemp."George WashingtonWritings of Washington, Vol. 35, pg. 72REFUSING TO GROW HEMP in America during the 17th and 18th Centuries WAS AGAINST THE LAW!

• The day will come when these old school, crusty, money hungry fascists will die off and a new breed of fresh young politicians ready for change will emerge.  When you look at a nation that appoints it's supreme court justices for life, it's no wonder why change happens at a slow pace.  Its the same ol' ancient way of thinking and this antique of a man is too stubborn and narcissistic to show the intellectual capacity that there "might be a better" way.  Don't worry, someone will dig up more dirt in his closet and put the nail in the coffin for his hope at presidency.  He's downing marijuana while he's sucking down his 20 year old scotch.  How American!  Hypocritical asswipe.

• Off with our own heads, they said!   Newt = Lizard.

• Newt seems to have a knack for statements that make anyone equipped a brain just hate his guts. I'm no fan of the great disappointment known as President Obama, but if Gingrich were to be on the Republican ticket I'd have to vote to make sure Obama got re-elected.

• We have nothing but nutcases running for elected office, it must be indicative of the majority of American voters still shell shocked by Bush II and the insane people of his administration.  They didn't have reefer madness in the 1700s, 1800s, or early 1900s.  It didn't happen until insane, greedy corporatists needed their synthetics to eliminate Mother Nature's helpers.

• Cannot wait till he dies. Why couldn't it be his time instead of Gatewood's. Oh yeah, nobody in heaven or hell wants Newt GettingRich in their neighborhood.

• How much longer will we have to listen to this troll spewing bile.  His only reason for running for President was to sell his and his wife's books and to increase the amount of money he can make giving speeches. 

• Newt, just gonna say your obesity is much more dangerous to your health than any weed would ever be.

• looks like Newt better brush up on his history. maybe read "ain't nobody's business if you do" where Peter goes into deep detail about the history of hemp. guess Newt wants to re-write history!

• This guy claims to be a historian, give the man a big F**k.  Our founding fathers grew hemp in huge quanities, he's an ass, has allways been one and will pass into history as the same.  He will not be President, in fact, if he can't get it together that woman that is his wife is going to dump the looser, It's guys like Newt, that's what's wrong with this country and it's politics, I just wan't to re-intierate, what a asshole!
