Did you know That the Founding Father's of the USA were High on Cannabis While not leading revolutions and writing constitutions, George Washington lived many very non-mythical days. One of best articles separating the myth from the man is "The Surprising George Washington" by Richard Norton Smith.
"According to Newsweek, 14 percent of all American preschoolers think that George Washington is still sitting in the Oval Office. To the rest of us, Washington appears every February to sell cars and appliances before vanishing into the historical mists, the Ultimate Dead White Male."
Smith's article presents fascinating anecdotal glimpses of Washington's more "common" undertakings like his contract with a liquor-loving man employed as a gardener at Mount Vernon. "... if allowed four dollars at Christmas, with which to be drunk four days and four nights; two dollars at Easter, to effect the same purpose; two dollars at Whitsuntide, to be drunk for two days, a dram in the morning, and a drink of grog at dinner and at noon."
