people come here looking for facts about President George Washington,

God put it here for a reason, and it's a person's right to decide what they want to do with it. whether they use it as medicine, structure or material, or recreational drugs. if they are using it, arguing with them about it over the internet most likely won't make them stop.
I know you all have strong opinions on the matter, but please think before you post.
by the way, i'm only thirteen, and i seem to be one of the very few mature people on here. i also seem to be the only one who can spell properly. Why can't you people use spell check?
