smoke weed,

on cnn it just said, some researcher found pot residue on a pipe dug up from his garden

[Leanne]

Of course he did. So did plenty of people -- it just wasn't remarkable, because there were no tobacco companies in those days to kick up a fuss.

fair enough, i suppose walter raleigh could have been his dealer hehe.
i understand lots of people, were taking all kinds of drugs from the beginning of time, it's just that till now i'd never heard anything about him hitting the bong. i know poe and shelly and co were well smashed out of their skulls, history told us so. which makes me beg the question; when did we first know that willy smoked the weed. if it's only come to light now it would seem unusual considering how well he was supposedly now.
