   Oh, also, I saw this show on the History channel where they were trying to   
   identify the remains of Jesse James, and they were performing drug tests.   
   Appearantly, Jesse James was known not to partake in recreational drugs, but   
   lots and lots of people in that era were taking opium, morphine and cocaine.   
   I'm not sure about pot, but I do know there were hemp farms around, because   
   the hemp rope was the finest, strongest rope made, and was a mandatory   
   supply of the immegrants who traveled the Oregon Trail.
