I Grew Hemp

Environmentalism

A dollar bill with an "I Grew Hemp" stamp on it. George Washington grew hemp, which was a significant agricultural product in North America and the U.S. until the 20th century, when it was outlawed as a part of the anti-marijuana hysteria. Many pro-marijuana and environmental groups advocate for the legalization of hemp.
