Founding Faves: What Would Our Founding Fathers Smoke?

Celebrating Independence with Historical Highs

As we approach Independence Day, it’s fun to imagine how our Founding Fathers — history’s original disruptors — might navigate today’s legal cannabis landscape. While these revolutionaries grew hemp for rope, sails, and paper, we can’t help but wonder: what would they have reached for if they had access to modern-day flower, vapes, and concentrates? Let’s explore how a few of America’s most iconic figures might have exercised their freedom of choice.

George Washington: The Commander's Choice

Known for his steady hand and strategic mindset, Washington valued balance and resilience — both in leadership and on the farm. It’s easy to picture him enjoying Farmer and the Felon Ice Cream Cake flower, a strain that blends craftsmanship and character. This indica-dominant hybrid, with its potentially smooth and relaxing effects, seems like a fitting companion for evening reflection after long days of tending to both nation and field.

Benjamin Franklin: The Renaissance Man's Relief

Inventor, diplomat, writer — Franklin’s curiosity knew no bounds. A man who experimented with everything from electricity to bifocals would surely appreciate modern cannabis technology. Enter Heirbloom Cherry Pie Live Resin AIO: a sleek, all-in-one device delivering full-spectrum flavor and function. We imagine Franklin taking a thoughtful draw, inspired to sketch out his next great idea.

Thomas Jefferson: The Cultivator's Selection

A passionate horticulturist, Jefferson once said, “The greatest service which can be rendered any country is to add a useful plant to its culture.” We think he’d be drawn to Alien Labs Area 41 flower, celebrated for its precise cultivation and rich terpene complexity. A strain as layered as his political philosophy, Area 41 would satisfy Jefferson’s love for all things botanical.

Alexander Hamilton: The Financial Genius's Go-To

Hamilton’s energy was unmatched — the man wrote, debated, and built systems at a pace that reshaped history. For a figure always on the move, ABX Blue Dream High Potency Cartridge fits the bill. Known for its purported balanced effects and easy use, it’s a tool as efficient and reliable as the treasury system he designed.

A Toast to Independence

While history never tells us if these figures partook beyond industrial hemp, one thing is certain: they all appreciated craftsmanship, innovation, and progress — values that continue in today’s cannabis industry. However you choose to celebrate this Independence Day, do so with gratitude for the freedoms we enjoy and the pioneers who made them possible.
