USEFUL MUSEUM HEMP RELATED LINKS
We have been asked numerous times to comment on the value of HEMP OIL as a medicine in modern day terms. And indeed merely typing in some of the keywords – “Medical +Hemp +Seed +Oil” - unto any Internet search engine quickly reviews how wide spread interest in the subject is becoming. However, this would mean getting directly involved in the subjects of medicines (of which we have no qualifications), and thus we will not do.
Simply put, we are a historical museum and as such we maintain our interests SOLELY to pre-World War II subject matter. Example: Hemp CBD Oil has not yet been discovered and thus not within our domain of conversation.
However, as a historical museum, we have been able to “PHYSICALLY” document a number of subjects that might be of interest to the reader. Or for that matter, anyone doing modern-day or historical research on Hemp Seed/Hemp Seed oil. Examples: Did George Washington grow hemp (yes). Was it against the law (in colonial America) NOT to grow hemp? (yes) . . .
For the researcher the following Antique Cannabis Museum web-Links might thus be of some interest.
http://reefermadnessmuseum.org/chap04/Virginia/VA_IndHempP1.htm
Documents how the colonial “House of Burgesses” in Virginia ORDERED ALL citizens to GROW HEMP. No joke, it was AGAINST the law NOT to grow hemp.
http://reefermadnessmuseum.org/chap04/Virginia/VA_IndHempP2.htm
Documents the fact that George Washington (yes, that George Washington), grew hemp on his farm.

Was Thomas Jefferson a Marihuana Smuggler? Ah, yes, we believe that he was . . . but

Read about the efforts to grow Hemp Seed for the Sherwin Williams Corp.

Read about how EVEN sterilized Hemp seed was attacked by the Bureau of Narcotics during the Reefer Madness Era.
AND NO, as a medical museum (except as a footnote) we also don’t involve ourselves in either the Second World War or subject of Industrial Hemp. However, our sister museum (dealing with the origin of the anti-Medical Cannabis Laws) does dabble a bit into those subjects. Below are two web links that the reader might be of interest in.
