"Thomas Pynchon's novel Mason & Dixon (1997) features a
scene in which George Washington shares a blunt with the
eponymous surveyors while Martha dutifully supplies them with
doughnuts and other munchies. This doesn’t prove anything, of
course, being fiction and all. But it’s reassuring to know that
whenever an opportunity presents itself to combine historical
revisionism and pot jokes, Pynchon is all over it like a wetsuit."
