Would you believe Henry Ford grew dope?

In his experimental gardens, Ford grew marijuana in the hopes of figuring out a way to make plastic from it.

Apparently nothing, aside from a distinct feeling of relaxation, came of this youthful experimentation.

And strangely, there’s nothing that mentions these efforts at the Ford history museum.
