All of us know, Franklin realized the lightning was an electric discharge from the clouds and has developed the first general theory of electrical phenomena, and he introduced the marking of electrified bodies with + and -, noting that there are only two types of electrical charges.

We will never know for sure what behinds the scenes habits he may have developed! But we know, he did reside in France for quite some time and the French aristocracy were rumored to have developed habits connected with certain #Weed Usage!

And we know also, President John Adams, found him totally naked in a bath wearing a coonskin hat, with an older female of high rank. They were both Exceptionally High and apparently very happy.

Benjamin Franklin & Weed

Franklin famously remarked in 1735, "An Ounce of Prevention Is Worth a Pound of Cure unless the cure is something cool, like staying in bed for two weeks and only eating ice cream. Tonsillitis is very Good, if you ask me."

Franklin's problem was stress and Marijuana Was Both, The Cure & The Prevention :

  • If we go back to the College of Philadelphia, that has founded by him, we will know, he identified lightning as a form of electricity in June of 1752.

  • On April 20th 1753, Benjamin found a way to light a cannabis cigarette "Joint" or "Thick Fat Blunt", using the electric jolt of lightning.

  • The Lightning Joint Experiment forever informed how people consumed wacky tabacky, which is precisely why 4/20 is a celebration of Benjamin Franklin's noble contributions to U.S. society, and led directly to some of his later experiments like the Lightning Bong Experiment!

So when you see one Ben Franklin photos or statues, make sure to salute the man who made smoking weed possible !
