It's sex, drugs and... puritanical Jefferson on this week's 1776 Club exclusive broadcast.
Clay tells a story about going onstage after a band to explain how to grow hemp to an audience of angry heavy metal fans. After you hear the show, let us know — are you as excited about those t-shirts as we are? If anyone finds one, we want to see! Apparently there are still 4,992 lying around waiting to be sold!
