Postage Stamps
The
only postage stamp I am aware of depicting the marijuana plant is a 4 cent
British North Borneo hemp drying stamp (Scott 247, SG359).
Other medicinal plants appearing on postage stamps are the poppy
flower on stamps from Bulgaria, Hungary, Yugoslavia and East Germany
and the coco shrub on a stamp from Rwanda. There are also many stamps
that highlight the perils of Drug abuse.
During
the civil war patriotic covers used slogans about hemps fine quality as a hangman's
rope for traitors and later carpetbaggers and nefarious salesmen. There are
also covers that point out hemps use in sails and as a ground cover along canal
systems.
