(1979) Over the Edge (trailer)

Over the Edge is a film directed by Jonathan Kaplan released in 1979. Due to the negative publicity surrounding a wave of recent youth gang films, Over the Edge had a limited theatrical release. It stars Matt Dillon in his feature film debut.

Because of its depiction of teenage rebellion, drug and alcohol use by junior high school students, a sensational depiction of suburban life in the late 1970s, and a rock music soundtrack featuring such bands as Cheap Trick and The Cars, Over the Edge has achieved cult film status, and was an inspiration for the music video for the song "Smells Like Teen Spirit" by Nirvana. [1].

According to the director's and writer's commentary on the DVD, Over the Edge was inspired by actual events that took place in Foster City, California in the early 1970s. Those events were chronicled in a 1974 article titled "Mouse Packs: Kids on a Crime Spree" from the San Francisco Examiner. The writer of the article, Charles S. Haas, went on to co-write the screenplay.

(1975) Neil Young and Crazy Horse - Homegrown [Album]

Homegrown is an unreleased country-rock album by Neil Young.[1] It was so near to being released that a cover had been created. At the last moment however, Neil Young chose to drop Homegrown and release Tonight's the Night instead. Young stated that he had a playback party for Homegrown and Tonight's the Night happened to be on the same reel. He decided to release Tonight's the Night after that listening because of "its overall strength in performance and feeling" and because Homegrown "was just a very down album."[1]

"Homegrown" the song was re-recorded with Crazy Horse on American Stars 'N Bars.Source

(1999) Detroit Rock City

Detroit Rock City is a 1999 cult film about four teenagers in a Kiss cover band who try to see their idols in Detroit in 1978. It takes its title from the Kiss song of the same name. The movie bombed at the box office, grossing fewer than five million dollars domestically, and it disappeared from theaters approximately a month and a half after its release. It has since become a cult classic for Kiss fans, rock music fans and metalheads in general. The movie was originally to be called The Kiss Movie. It has been often compared to the 1993 film Dazed and Confused and the 1979 film Rock 'n' Roll High School. Source

(1981) Rita Marley - One Draw

A Bob Marley song from Rita's album, Who Feels It Knows It (Shanachie, 1980), One Draw was released as a single after Bob's funeral, at which Rita symbolically placed a stalk of sensimilla in the coffin. Cleary indicating an end to the mourning, this infectious, pro-ganja delight which was banned in Jamaica on release, but made musical history as the first reggae single to top the Billboard Disco Charts, the chorus inspired and was sampled by Cyprus Hill for I Wanna Get High (q.v.). A version of the original features on the Legalize De Erb compilation. source

(1981) The Mighty Diamonds - Pass the Kutchie

The Mighty Diamonds
Donald 'Tabby' Shaw, Fitzroy 'Bunny' Simpson, and Lloyd 'Judge' Ferguson enjoyed a Jamaican hit with this sublime version of the classic Studio One rhythm, Full Up, produced by Gussie Clarke, which appeared on their Indestructible album in '82. Musical Youth famously covered the song the following year, but changed the title to 'Dutchie', which makes no sense at all since a Dutch oven cannot easily be passed from the left hand side, unlike a ceremonious pipe, chalice, or 'Kouchie' (or 'Kutchie', as in Lee Perry's Kutchie Skank; or 'Cutchie' as in Dillinger's Bring The Cutchie Come; or indeed, 'Couchie', as in the song of that name by Triston Palma). The original is included on Big Blunts Vol.1 (Tommy Boy, 1994). source

(1978) Peter tosh and Mick Jagger - Walk and Don't look Back

Can someone place a date on this picture? I can't find any information about it

In 1978 Rolling Stones Records signed Tosh, and the album Bush Doctor was released, introducing Tosh to a larger audience. The single from the album, a cover of The Temptations song Don't Look Back, performed as a duet with Rolling Stones singer Mick Jagger, turned Tosh into one of the best known reggae artists.Source

Big Youth and Johnny Rotten

The abrupt demise of punk is documented by The Clash single, [(1978)] White Man In Hammersmith Palais, which records the feelings of a white reggae enthusiast attending a concert featuring reggae artists live and direct from Jamaica. Contemplating the scene, Joe Strummer laments the lack of commitment among the New Wave of groups that was then flooding the charts, 'turning rebellion into money'.

By that time, the Sex Pistols were history and Sid Vicious was heading nowhere, fast. Johnny Rotten - now going by his real name of Lydon - was recuperating in Jamaica, where he'd been sent by his record label under the pretext of doing some talent-spotting and where he was photographed for the N.M.E. sharing a fat spliff with Big Youth.Source

(1981) UB40 - Lamb's Bread

(1981) UB40 - Don't Walk on the Grass

Like their first album Signing Off, Present Arms contained many socially and politically charged lyrics, from the anti-militant title track to 'Sardonicus' which was about Risus sardonicus, the ironic smile on tetanus victims' faces. The UK Top Ten hit "One In Ten" was an attack on Thatcherism. The album also touches on a subject very dear to UB40's heart: 'Lamb's Bread' and 'Don't Walk On The Grass' are written as part of the band's long standing campaign for the legalization of cannabis. Musically, the album continued in the heavy, reverb-drenched, mellifluous style of the debut. Source

(1976) Boston - Smokin'

Lyrics

We're gonna play you a song, a little bit of rock-n-roll
You gotta let yourself go, the band's gonna take control.
We're gettin' down today
We'll pick you up and take you away
Get down tonight

Smokin', Smokin'
We're cookin' tonight, just keep on tokin'
Smokin', Smokin'
I feel alright, mamma I'm not jokin', yeah.


Get your feet to the floor, everybody rock and roll
You've got nothing to lose just the rhythm and blues, that's all, yeah
We're gonna feel ok
We'll pick you up and take you away
Get down tonight.

Smokin', Smokin'
We're cookin' tonight, just keep on tokin'
Smokin', Smokin'
I feel alright, mamma I'm not jokin', yeah.


Everybody jumpin', dancin' to the boogie tonight
Clap your hands, move your feet
If you don't you know it won't seem right
We're gettin' down today
We'll pick you up and take you away
Get down tonight

We're gettin' down today
We'll pick you up and take you away

In 1980, while on tour with the band Wings, McCartney was detained at Tokyo's Narita Airport after customs officials found half a pound of marijuana in his luggage. He spent 10 nights in jail before being released and deported. He later admitted, according to the BBC, that "it was the daftest thing I've done in my entire life."Source

(1976) Robert Randall - The First Federal US Legal Medical Marijuana User

The Compassionate Investigational New Drug program, or Compassionate IND, is the Investigational New Drug program allowing a limited number of patients to use National Institute on Drug Abuse-provided medical marijuana grown at the University of Mississippi. Closed to new entrants, there are only seven surviving patients who were grandfathered into the program.


The Compassionate Investigational New Drug Study program began in 1978 after a lawsuit was brought against the Food and Drug Administration, Drug Enforcement Administration, National Institute on Drug Abuse, Department of Justice, and the Department of Health, Education & Welfare by Robert Randall (Randall v. U.S). In 1976, Randall, afflicted with glaucoma, had successfully used the Common Law doctrine of necessity to argue against charges of marijuana cultivation because it was deemed a medical necessity (U.S. v. Randall). On November 24, 1976, federal Judge James Washington ruled:

While blindness was shown by competent medical testimony to be the otherwise inevitable result of the defendant's disease, no adverse effects from the smoking of marijuana have been demonstrated. Medical evidence suggests that the medical prohibition is not well-founded.

The criminal charges against Randall were dropped, and following a petition (May 1976) filed by Randall, federal agencies began providing him with FDA-approved access to government supplies of medical marijuana, becoming the first American to receive marijuana for the treatment of a medical disorder. Randall went public with his victory and shortly after the government tried to prevent his legal access to marijuana. This led to the aforementioned 1978 lawsuit where Randall was represented pro bono publico by law firm Steptoe & Johnson. Twenty-four hours after filing the suit, the federal agencies requested an out-of-court settlement which resulted in Randall gaining prescriptive access to marijuana through a federal pharmacy near his home.

The settlement in Randall v. U.S. became the legal basis for the FDA's Compassionate IND program. Initially only available to patients afflicted by marijuana-responsive disorders and orphan drugs, the concept was expanded to include HIV-positive patients in the mid-1980s. Due to the growing number of AIDS patients throughout the late 1980s and the resulting numbers of patients who joined the Compassionate IND program, the George H. W. Bush administration closed the program down in 1992. At its peak, the program had thirty active patients.Source

(1978) Bob Marley - Hotel Waldorf Asturias


Marley meets the press
Press conference in '78 press honors Bob's work for peace


By Jack Low / BobMarley.com

When Bob Marley gave a rare press conference at the Waldorf-Astoria hotel in New York in June 1978, he was at the height of his popularity as a ground-breaking singer, songwriter and ambassador of reggae. But, not surprisingly, the questions he answered from the media didn't focus solely on music.

That's because Bob had just been awarded the famous Peace Medal of the Third World by the United Nations, a prestigious honor for his work in fighting for peace and justice in his native country of Jamaica and throughout Africa. In fact, the award was given to him by the Senegalese Youth Ambassador to the U.N., Mohmmadu Johnny Seka, on behalf of 500 million Africans. Source

(1978) Cheap Trick - Surrender

"Surrender" is a single by Cheap Trick released in June 1978 from the album Heaven Tonight.

It is a late 1970s teen anthem, describing the relations between the baby boomer narrator and his G.I. generation parents. The narrator describes how his parents are weirder and hipper than many children would believe. For example, the narrator describes how he discovers his parents "rolling on the couch" and listening to his Kiss records late at night.[3] It is ranked #465 on the Rolling Stone magazine's list of "the 500 Greatest Songs of All Time".

In film, it was featured in 1979's Over the Edge in the scene where Matt Dillon's character and his three teen friends were playing with a handgun in an abandoned home. It also figured into the iconic 80s high school classic, Fast Times at Ridgemont High, where it is mentioned by ticket scalper Mike Damone while he is attempting to hustle a girl.Source

TIME Magazine - Jan. 29, 1979


By the end of the seventies more than 42 million Americans had tried marijuana, which, along with cocaine, had become a billion-dollar product for farmers, smugglers and dealers from Colombia. In a 1979 cover story staff writer Walter Isaacson, later to become TIME's managing editor, offered a vivid description of how the Colombian Connection worked. He concluded pessimistically, "Current attempts to stamp out Colombia's drugs still seem to be mere stopgaps ... ineffectual against the tide of American demand for, and tolerance of, marijuana and cocaine."

Over the next decade the drug problem in America grew worse. In 1981 a team of TIME correspondents probed the popularity of cocaine across the country, calling it the "all-American drug." A 1983 cover story estimated the number of cocaine users to be as high as 20 million and rising. One of the correspondents who interviewed users for that article called the assignment his most depressing in ten years as a journalist. Source

The Results of the 1980 Jamaican Election

Quote:

In Jamaica, political violence escalated throught the late 70's and Bob Marley himself became a victim in 1977, but survived the shooting to appear at a peace concert at which he stood on stage flanked by the leaders of the rival political factions, Michael Manley and Edward Seaga.

In the run-up to what became the bloodiest election in Jamaican history, in October 1980, there was speculation as to whether Manley, if re-elected, would legitimize the ganja trade to finance his socialist innovations and to repay the country's foreign debts. Instead, Seaga was elected and was able to borrow a further $698 million from the International Monetary Fund, plus $100 million from the US. A condition of the loan was that jamaica accept US Military assistance in eradicating the ganja fields, using flame-throwers deployed from helicopters.

(1981) Bob Marley's Funeral

While flying home from Germany to Jamaica for his final days, Marley became ill, and landed in Miami for immediate medical attention. He died at Cedars of Lebanon Hospital in Miami on the morning of May 11, 1981, at the age of 36. The spread of melanoma to his lungs and brain caused his death. His final words to his son Ziggy were "Money can't buy life."[29] Marley received a state funeral in Jamaica on May 21, 1981, which combined elements of Ethiopian Orthodoxy and Rastafari tradition.[30] He was buried in a chapel near his birthplace with his Fender Stratocaster.[31] A month before his death, he had also been awarded the Jamaican Order of Merit.[32]Source

(1975) Lee Perry & the Upsetters - Bush Weed

Revolution Dub is an album by Lee Perry & The Upsetters, released in Jamaica in 1975 in very small quantities. It features radical, groundbreaking drum & bass mixes, sound effects (including bizarre excerpts of British comedy recorded from the radio), heavy bass, vocals by Perry himself, and an early use of a drum machine in reggae. This is some of the earliest available dub material mixed by Lee "Scratch" Perry, who would soon make a name for himself as a dub master with classic, internationally distributed albums such as Super Ape (Island 1976). Other early Scratch groundbreaking dub albums include the fine Rhythm Shower (Trojan). Scratch's first dub album, the 1973 super classic Blackboard Jungle Dub was mixed by dub originator and master King Tubby, who taught Perry a great deal at Dynamic Sound studios before Scratch went out on his own and opened his famous Black Ark Studios in January 1974.Source

Big Youth and Johnny Rotten

The abrupt demise of punk is documented by The Clash single, [(1978)] White Man In Hammersmith Palais, which records the feelings of a white reggae enthusiast attending a concert featuring reggae artists live and direct from Jamaica. Contemplating the scene, Joe Strummer laments the lack of commitment among the New Wave of groups that was then flooding the charts, 'turning rebellion into money'.

By that time, the Sex Pistols were history and Sid Vicious was heading nowhere, fast. Johnny Rotten - now going by his real name of Lydon - was recuperating in Jamaica, where he'd been sent by his record label under the pretext of doing some talent-spotting and where he was photographed for the N.M.E. sharing a fat spliff with Big Youth.Source

(1983) CBC's Cannabis Archive - #4 - The "Stay Real Campaign"

Don't try drugs...yet. That's the message behind a new Canada-wide anti-drug campaign kicking off next week. The gist of the campaign is that kids shouldn't try marijuana or hashish until they are at least 18, and mature enough to decide responsibly. The mild approach impresses even pro-marijuana groups like the National Organization for the Reform of Marijuana Laws (NORML). As we see in this clip, the one thing everyone agrees on is that pot isn't for kids.



Pierre Elliott Trudeau

Joseph Philippe Pierre Yves Elliott Trudeau,[1] PC, CC, CH, QC, MSRC (18 October 1919 – 28 September 2000), usually known as Pierre Trudeau or Pierre Elliott Trudeau, was the 15th Prime Minister of Canada from 20 April 1968 to 4 June 1979, and again from 3 March 1980 to 30 June 1984.



D.A.R.E.

Drug Abuse Resistance Education, better known as D.A.R.E. or DARE, is an international education program that seeks to prevent use of illegal drugs, membership in gangs, and violent behavior. D.A.R.E., which has expanded globally since its founding in 1983, is a demand-side drug control strategy of the U.S. War on Drugs. Students who enter the program sign a pledge not to use drugs or join gangs and are taught by local law enforcement about the dangers of drug use in an interactive in-school curriculum which lasts ten weeks. Throughout its history, the program has been criticized for its inefficiency and biased stances towards drugs and drug reform. Source

40th President of the United States

(1980) CBC's Cannabis Archives - Item #3 - A Major Threat to Public Health, and society as a whole


Broadcast Date: April 24, 1980
Many people use marijuana, but that doesn't mean it's harmless. As more research is conducted, scientists find disturbing side effects of prolonged use: lung damage, impotence, psychological problems, cerebral atrophy. Dr. Charles Messer is a psychiatrist and crusader against what he calls "the pot gospel" and "the crap attitudes of suggestible kids." He's sounding the alarm, and has plenty of science to back it up. And he believes that anyone who disagrees with him...must be on drugs.

You can see the hatred for the cannabis culture in his eyes. Lie after lie after lie. This is the hatred the cannabis culture must try to shame the population into giving up, like the blacks and gays [have done/are doing.]

What has the cannabis culture done to society that merits them being criminalised, jailed and have their lives destroyed by the millions? The government is promoting hatred towards a specific group of people within society.

Pot Shrinks Tumors; Government Knew in '74

By Raymond Cushing, AlterNet. Posted May 31, 2000.

In 1974 [University of Virginia] researchers learned that THC, the active chemical in marijuana, shrank or destroyed brain tumors in test mice. But the DEA quickly shut down the study and destroyed its results, which were never replicated -- until now.

Seventies Coffeeshop History
with a bit spilling over into the Eighties

1976

The Dutch government made a big decision in changing their Opiumwet (Druglaws), by separating drugs in two major classes, harddrugs and softdrugs.

Heroin, Cocaine, XTC and amphetamines, chemical drugs with unacceptable hazards for national health, were and are considered "Harddrugs".

Cannabis products like hash and marihuana, natural products, without chemical addition, were and are considered "Softdrugs".

This step was taken to keep the users of cannabis away from hard drugs users, by allowing the sales of small quantities of cannabis from regulated outlets. By not allowing the sales and use of any other drugs in those outlets, this system successfully stood firm against those who accuse cannabis of being a gateway drug. By having cannabis available, the step to hard drugs could be prevented, and it did, the number of problematic hard drug users ( aka: Junkies) in Holland is the lowest throughout Europe. The minimum age for admittance was 16 years, until 1994, when the government changed that minimum to 18 years of age. That was very counterproductive, and should be changed back, to ensure the 16-17 year olds of a safe environment to purchase and use softdrugs, the street dealers that supply these youth's with cannabis from then, might also be involved in the dealing of hard drugs.

1980

The coffeeshops in Amsterdam were an inspiration for smokers from the whole of Holland, and they started to open coffeeshops and teahouses all over the country.
Local housedealers came out in the open, and started to sell cannabis in former bars and cafe's, some in combination with alcohol, some with only coffee and tea. It caused some trouble in the border area's, when Germany started to complain about a youth-center in Enschede, that sold hash, that might attract German smokers! The Germans had it their way, the sales were forbidden. In other border area cities, like Arnhem and Nijmegen, coffeeshops started as well, but kept the sales low profile. The police left them alone, no trouble, no attention, no police enforcement.

All this drove up the prices of the hash, the buildings and staff in the strongly commercializing cannabusiness had to be paid, but still remained affordable for those interested. It was the Wild West era of coffeeshopping, nobody minded selling larger quantities, because there were no legal limits to the tolerated sales of soft drugs, only the 30 gram for personal use restriction, but that was never held in account during that period. The police was still to occupied with the heroin and cocaine smuggling organizations, they did catch and confiscate big hash transports, but the involved suspects were usually released after six hours. Thus, it was made easy for criminals, involved in major drug transports, to get their operations going, which led to huge conflicts in the 'underworld '. Hash had become big business. People and organizations started to rip each other off, or even intercepted loads on their arrival, nobody was to be trusted.

The police were always two steps behind, as they found out in 1987, when they realized they allowed the creation of a humongous monster, consisting of a couple of multi-billion hash-organizations, smuggling huge quantities to Europe and other parts of the world. It gave Holland a bad reputation, and lead to an isolated position in Europe and the rest of the world, who were calling the Netherlands a Drug nation.Source

(1975) The Outlaws - Green Grass and High Tides

"Green Grass and High Tides" is a song by the southern rock band Outlaws. It is the tenth and final track on the band's debut album, Outlaws. The song is one of their best known, and has received extensive play on album-oriented radio stations,[1] although it was never released as a single. The song is notable for having two extended guitar solos that stretch the song to nearly 10 minutes.

A cover version of the song is playable in the music video game Rock Band, acting as the final song for the guitar's solo career. It is considered the most difficult guitar song on the main setlist of the game.

Outlaws founding member Henry Paul told Songfacts that this song is not about marijuana, but about deceased rock and roll luminaries, and the title, he says, was taken from the 1966 "Best Of" collection by the Rolling Stones called Big Hits (High Tide and Green Grass):

"From what I gather, there was an album out, the best of The Rolling Stones, called 'High Tides and Green Grass.' That was the name of the Rolling Stones' greatest hits - this is like 1966 - and I think it was a manifestation of that title turned in reverse, 'Green Grass and High Tides.' I know that much. And I know that it was a song written for rock and roll illuminaries, from Janis Joplin to Jimi Hendrix, and it had nothing to do with marijuana. But it had to do with, I think, a specific person's [Thomasson's] lyrical look at rock and roll legends. 'As kings and queens bow and play for you.' It's about Jimi Hendrix and Janis Joplin. 'Castles of stone, soul and glory.' A lot of it is just sort of a collage of words that really don't have all that much to do with anything, they just fit and sounded right. But I have to say it's one of my favorite lyrics. My songwriting is more Steinbeck, really rooted in accuracy and reality; this is definitely Alice In Wonderland. It's the whole 'White Rabbit.' It's sort of like one of those magic lyrical moments that will forever be mysteriously, unclearly conceived."[2]

"Green Grass and High Tides" was the usual show closer for the Outlaws and the 20 minute+ version can be found on the concert album Bring It Back Alive (1978). The song is mentioned in Molly Hatchet's song "Gator Country" and was featured on the "Harley Davidson Road Songs" album in 1995.Source

(1976) California Moscone Act: Possession goes from Felony to Misdemeanor

The following graph (Source: MJSPRD) shows at a-glance the effect of the Moscone Act on marijuana arrests. Felony marijuana arrests fell by about 80,000, from nearly 100,000 in 1974 to less than 20,000 in 1976. Misdemeanor marijuana arrests were not recorded between 1972 and 1977, but leaped tenfold from about 3,500 in 1972 to 35,424 in 1978. By 1984, total marijuana arrests were leveling off at below 64,000 a year, so the cumulative effect of the Moscone Act was to reduce total marijuana arrests by at least 36,000 a year. Source



(1988) Savings in California Marijuana Law Enforcement Costs Attributable to the Moscone Act of 1976 — A Summary Link

The State of California has saved a minimum of one billion dollars since 1976 as a result of making possession of an ounce or less of marijuana a citable misdemeanor instead of a felony. The present study considered savings from 1976 through 1985 in four major areas: arrest costs, court costs, prison costs and parole costs. Together they amounted to a total savings of $958 million, or nearly $100 million per year (see Table III). When these savings are compared with the $100 million a year being spent on marijuana law enforcement in 1971 and 1972 (California Senate Select Committee 1974: 118) and the average of $157.6 million spent in 1974 and 1975 (see Table II), it is evident that the Moscone Act has been quite successful in achieving two of its main objectives: (1) reducing law enforcement expenditures related to possession of small amounts of marijuana to a minimum; and (2) relieving an overwhelming burden on the state judicial system.

Dame Elizabeth Taylor

Dame Elizabeth Rosemond "Liz" Taylor, DBE (February 27, 1932 – March 23, 2011) was an English-born American actress. From her early years as a child star with MGM, she became one of the great screen actresses of Hollywood's Golden Age, and one of the most famous film stars in the world. Taylor was recognized not only as a talented and award-winning actress, but also for her glamorous lifestyle, beauty and distinctive violet eyes.

National Velvet (1944) was Taylor's first success, and she starred in Father of the Bride (1950), A Place in the Sun (1951), Giant (1956), Cat on a Hot Tin Roof (1958), and Suddenly, Last Summer (1959). She won the Academy Award for Best Actress for BUtterfield 8 (1960), played the title role in Cleopatra (1963), and married her co-star Richard Burton. Source

Her Marijuana Use and Associations

She is remembered for her addictions to alcohol and painkillers, and according to one biographer, tried smoking pot to battle the booze.

According to Ellis Amburn's 2000 book, The Most Beautiful Woman in the World: The Obsessions, Passions, and Courage of Elizabeth Taylor Liz' experimentation with marijuana began in mid-1973, when she partied with Peter Lawford and his son Christopher, hitting hot spots like Candy Store in Beverly Hills. Peter's friend Arthur Natoli recalled, "[Lawford] and Elizabeth used to turn on together. They were high on pot a lot. I don't know if he supplied her." (p. 222)

Taylor was 19 when she was cast in A Day in the Sun opposite Montgomery Clift, and she had a lifelong devotion to Clift, who smoked marijuana (as did James Dean). According to Amburn, "Elizabeth sometimes ditched [second husband Michael] Wilding to slip off to Oscar Levant's Beverly Hills house with Monty, where the pianist serenaded them with Gershwin tunes as they whiled away afternoons and early evenings."

Her fourth husband Eddie Fisher was revealed to be a pot smoker by his daughter Carrie in her 2008 book Wishful Drinking. In his 2008 autobiography, Tony Curtis says marijuana was very popular in Hollywood around the time of his 1971 bust for carrying pot through Heathrow airport.Source

(1978) A Wild and Crazy Guy

A Wild and Crazy Guy (1978) was an album by American comedian Steve Martin. It reached number two on a Billboard's Pop Albums Chart. The album was eventually certified double platinum.

It contains the hit novelty single "King Tut", which Martin also performed on Saturday Night Live. It also has Martin revealing his 'real' name (due to the myth that his real name was not "Steve Martin"), which he admits is the sound of him flipping his lips.

This album won the Grammy Award in 1979 for Best Comedy Album.Source

Cannabis Content

The album contains the following Joke:

"I used to smoke marijuana. But I'll tell you something: I would only smoke it in the late evening. Oh, occasionally the early evening, but usually the late evening - or the mid-evening. Just the early evening, midevening and late evening. Occasionally, early afternoon, early mid-afternoon, or perhaps the late-midafternoon. Oh, sometimes the early-mid-late-early morning. . . But never at dusk! Never at dusk, I would never do that."Source

(1978-1979) Sherman Hemsley (a.k.a. George Jefferson)

This is one of the most mind-blowingly weird anecdotes MAGNET has ever published. Ten years ago, writer Mitch Myers profiled prog-rock legend Daevid Allen (Soft Machine, Gong), who told us of his strange encounter with actor Sherman Hemsley (a.k.a. George Jefferson). Here is the story of Hemsley’s obsession with flying teapots and his alleged den of iniquity that housed an LSD lab, a harem of naked girls and crack/freebase depots on every floor.

(1973) Mott the Hoople - Roll Away the Stone

This song is likely in reference to cannabis or potentially LSD. It shares the same title as a book written by Israel Regardie about cannabis, published 5 years earlier.

(1978) Dope, Inc.: Britain's Opium War against the U.S.

Dope Inc. makes a solid case, not just through connecting the dots and theorizing, but also indisputable documentation, that the worlds Heroin trade was and still is controlled by an octopus network of "respectable" world elites, including British aristocrats leading all the way up to the House of Windsor, British based Jewish bankers who finance and launder money for drug operations, a handful of super wealthy blue blood WASP families from the New England area of the USA, with underlings like the so called Mafia, the Chinese Triads and also shows how the drug trade is tightly interwoven with the gold and diamond trade. Another thing I found interesting is how their servants like the Bronfmans and Kennedys moved up the ladder from being disreputable gangsters to high level servants of the elites. Bronfmans have intermarried with Rothschilds and Kennedys with the British aristocracy.

It also has good info on the Chinese Opium wars where the British sent troops into China because the Chinese began to crack down on Opium use and stop British shipments of Opium grown in India into China. Yes they invaded China because China had had enough of Britain enslaving their population to drugs and getting richer off of it. This is mainstream history. Just look up Chinese Opium wars or the British East India Company on Wikipedia or on a search engine. Something tells me your average dumb downed brainwashed University history major has no clue that this ever occured.

The criticisms I have of this are when they go into the occultic side of some of these secret societies I don't agree with all of this books conclusions as to what these groups true beliefs or origins are. There is a lot of political and social bias in this book so you have to watch some of that. I also disagree with the stance this book takes on legalization. If it were up to me Marijuana would be legalized tomorrow and I would at least take a long hard look at legalizing other drugs. Dope Inc and the information in it is dated too. The gears have shifted quite a bit now that they have moved new world order troops into Afhanistan, whose Heroin production suddenly went through the roof after the Taliban was deposed. In spite of those critiques this is still a must read book. Source

(1977) Jackson Browne - Cocaine

"Cocaine Blues" is a Western Swing song written by T. J. "Red" Arnall, a reworking of the traditional song "Little Sadie". This song was originally recorded by W. A. Nichol's Western Aces (vocal by "Red" Arnall) on the S & G label, probably in 1947, and by Roy Hogsed and the Rainbow Riders May 25, 1947, at Universal Recorders in Hollywood, California. Hogsed's recording was released on Coast Records (262) and Capitol (40120), with the Capitol release reaching number 15 on the country music charts in 1948.[1]

The song is the tale of a man, Willy Lee, who shoots his woman to death while under the influence of whiskey and cocaine. Willy is caught and sentenced to "ninety-nine years in the San Quentin Pen". The song ends with Willy saying:

"Come all you hypes and listen unto me,
Just lay off that whiskey and let that cocaine be."

(2012, February 9th) Wired - FBI File on Steve Jobs Notes Use of LSD, Dishonesty
By Kim Zetter


The government released Steve Jobs’ FBI file Thursday, including details of a background check done for a presidential appointment in 1991 and a bomb threat against him in 1985. The document also indicates that Jobs had a Top Secret government security clearance while working at Pixar.

The background check for an appointment to the president’s Export Council, under former President George H. W. Bush, included interviews with friends and colleagues to make sure there was nothing in Jobs’ background that would open him to blackmail.

One interviewee remarked on Jobs’ well-known drug use — which included, by his own admission, the use of LSD during his schooldays.

Others mentioned that Jobs couldn’t be trusted and that he was able to create a reality-distortion field.

(1976) Eagles - Life in the Fast Lane

Lyrics:

[...]
Eager for action and hot for the game
The coming attraction, the drop of a name
They knew all the right people, they took
all the right pills
They threw outrageous parties, they paid heavenly bills
There were lines on the mirror, lines on her face
She pretended not to notice, she was caught up
in the race
[...]

From: CC - The Origin of Cannabis Day

Vancouver artist and drug-peace activist Dave Douglas recounts his experience at the very first Cannabis Day in Edmonton back in 1977:

Myself and several other friends who had come to Edmonton for school the following September heard about a pot rally and a possible smoke-in at Klondike park, the exhibition grounds where the fair is held every year. We were hesitant at first, not wanting to get busted, but it turned out to be a really nice sunny day, so we went.

There was a small stage set-up in the front grassed area of the park close to the road near 118th as well as a couple of tables. About 100 or so people showed up for the afternoon and folks sat around in the grass and smoked some weed.

One of the tables had the author of Grow Your Own Stone selling his book and encouraging folks to fill out the form on the back and send it to Ottawa demanding pot be legalized. Speakers from NORML and other supporters gave heartwarming speeches. Cops just stood around near the parking lot by the race track or near the road but didn't arrest anyone we saw that day.

Very close to the end of the event I remember people showing up to bet on the horse races and jeering at us to "grow up" and telling the cops "You should arrest these losers" but other than that it went pretty well. I bought a copy of Grow Your Own Stone, a bag of some awesome buds, and joined NORML.

Having been born in 1961, Obama's teenage years were spent in the late '70s.

These are Excerpts from David Maraniss' Barack Obama: The Story dealing with the elaborate drug culture surrounding the president when he attended Punahou School in Honolulu and Occidental College in Los Angeles. He inhaled. A lot.

Barrack Obama's Choom Gang

A self-selected group of boys at Punahou School who loved basketball and good times called themselves the Choom Gang. Choom is a verb, meaning "to smoke marijuana."


As a member of the Choom Gang, Barry Obama was known for starting a few pot-smoking trends. The first was called "TA," short for "total absorption." To place this in the physical and political context of another young man who would grow up to be president, TA was the antithesis of Bill Clinton's claim that as a Rhodes scholar at Oxford he smoked dope but never inhaled.


Along with TA, Barry popularized the concept of "roof hits": when they were chooming in the car all the windows had to be rolled up so no smoke blew out and went to waste; when the pot was gone, they tilted their heads back and sucked in the last bit of smoke from the ceiling.

When you were with Barry and his pals, if you exhaled precious pakalolo (Hawaiian slang for marijuana, meaning "numbing tobacco") instead of absorbing it fully into your lungs, you were assessed a penalty and your turn was skipped the next time the joint came around. "Wasting good bud smoke was not tolerated," explained one member of the Choom Gang, Tom Topolinski, the Chinese-looking kid with a Polish name who answered to Topo.

[Choom Gang member] Mark Bendix's Volkswagen bus, also known as the Choomwagon. … The other members considered Mark Bendix the glue, he was funny, creative, and uninhibited, with a penchant for Marvel Comics. He also had that VW bus and a house with a pool, a bong, and a Nerf basketball, all enticements for them to slip off midday for a few unauthorized hours of recreation...

Barry also had a knack for interceptions. When a joint was making the rounds, he often elbowed his way in, out of turn, shouted "Intercepted!," and took an extra hit. No one seemed to mind.



He was a long-haired haole hippie who worked at the Mama Mia Pizza Parlor not far from Punahou and lived in a dilapidated bus in an abandoned warehouse. … According to Topolinski, Ray the dealer was "freakin' scary." Many years later they learned that he had been killed with a ball-peen hammer by a scorned gay lover. But at the time he was useful because of his ability to "score quality weed."

...

In another section of the [senior] yearbook, students were given a block of space to express thanks and define their high school experience. … Nestled below [Obama's] photographs was one odd line of gratitude: "Thanks Tut, Gramps, Choom Gang, and Ray for all the good times." … A hippie drug-dealer made his acknowledgments; his own mother did not.

Their favorite hangout was a place they called Pumping Stations, a lush hideaway off an unmarked, roughly paved road partway up Mount Tantalus. They parked single file on the grassy edge, turned up their stereos playing Aerosmith, Blue Oyster Cult, and Stevie Wonder, lit up some "sweet-sticky Hawaiian buds" and washed it down with "green bottle beer" (the Choom Gang preferred Heineken, Becks, and St. Pauli Girl).

In the Honolulu of Barry's teenage years marijuana was flourishing up in the hills, out in the countryside, in covert greenhouses everywhere. It was sold and smoked right there in front of your nose; Maui Wowie, Kauai Electric, Puna Bud, Kona Gold, and other local variations of pakololo were readily available.

CSPAN - Revealed: Photo of Obama's pot-smoking Choom Gang (Video)

During an interview on CSPAN’s Book TV Sunday, “Barack Obama: The Story” author David Maraniss unveiled a photo of a young Barack Obama posing with his infamous pot-smoking “Choom Gang.”

“How much pot-smoking did the president do in Honolulu?” asked host Peter Slen.

“Well, you know, he writes about it in his book,” Marannis responded.

“He doesn’t write in particulars about the ‘Choom Gang.’ Ah, you know, the whole notion of Bill Clinton saying he never inhaled, well Barry said ‘that was the point, wasn’t it?’ when Jay Leno asked him about it. And, you know, some of my book — without going overboard — documents it pretty thoroughly,” he added.

“The ‘Choom Gang,‘ that’s what they did,” Marannis said, referring to the gang’s love of “total absorption” (i.e. “hotboxing”). “That was part of his existence during that period.”

Margaret Trudeau

“I smoked pot with the best of them and came to love it,” former Canadian first lady Margaret Trudeau writes on page one of her 1979 book Beyond Reason (Paddington Press). Born Margaret Sinclair in 1948 to a Canadian diplomat, she was the youngest first lady in the world when she married Pierre Trudeau in 1971.

“I got obsessed with the idea of freedom…with materialism and greed, with the influence of pop music and revolt.” While listening to Janis Joplin, the Beatles and the Stones, she studied Blake, Coleridge and Keats as well as Timothy Leary and Buckminster Fuller. “It was easy to get marijuana,” Trudeau wrote. “We grew it in our gardens in the summertime or bought the grass that came up cheap and plentiful from Mexico and California. I drunk it all in—the music, the drugs, the life. I jibed only at opium, scared off by Coleridge, and though some of my friends tried LSD, there was no cocaine about. I did try mescaline one day, and spent eight hours sitting up a tree wishing I were a bird."

After college, she traveled to Morocco, living in communes and “learned to inhale the mild keef smoked in long reed pipes with clay bowls.” Though she enjoyed the freedom, she couldn’t stand the unsanitary conditions and overindulgence in drugs in sex. But she tried LSD and by mistake took an overdose of belladonna given to her by a pharmacist instead of the cough medicine she asked for.

She fell for a hippie, Yves, but when he rejected her she took up with Pierre Trudeau, the prime minister of Canada. He was 50, Margaret 22. Before he would marry her, he insisted she give up grass. She undertook a six-month pot-free reformation, during which time she studied French, improved her skiing, sewed a trousseau, and converted to Catholicism. The two set a marriage date of March 4, 1971.

A few weeks before the wedding, Margaret tried to travel with friends across the border to the U.S. for a wedding. After customs officials found hashish residue in one of the girls’ lockets, they were all strip searched, with an officer telling Margaret, “Spread your cheeks, honey.” Years later, at a White House dinner, Jimmy Carter asked her, “What happened to the student activists of your generation, and the great hippy push?” Trudeau told him of her customs experience as “just one example of the hostility that we met with every day.”

Much like Prince Charles’s young bride Diana, Margaret disliked the protocol and police protection of her too-public life. She bore three sons and stayed “straight” until a 1976 trip to Mexico. “It was like coming home—magic and drugs, all my old stomping grounds,” she wrote. In Palenque, some old friends slipped her “a little plastic sack of peyote mushrooms. That night at Cancun I allowed myself a secret taste. It made me look forward to more.” She enjoyed the unstuffiness of Cuba so much that Pierre joked he thought she would ask for asylum. In Venezuela, a “liberal dose of belladonna a Caracas doctor had prescribed for stomach cramps” led to an embarrassing incident where she sang at a state dinner.

In 1976 she travelled to California to hear Krishnamurti, began taking an interest in issues rather than dresses, and studied photography. Unhappy with her life, while weaning herself off tranquilizers, she started using marijuana again. “I smoked not one but two strong joints before setting out for one of my [psychiatric] appointments. No sooner was I settled in his office than I began to talk. I told him about my dreams, my childhood, my marriage. A look of profound self-satisfaction spread across his face. ‘You see,’ he said at the end of our hour, ‘you can do it, you know, without drugs.’ I laughed. I never went to see him again.” Pierre started to greet her after work, “not to kiss me, but to sniff me” for marijuana. The couple separated. She read Carlos Castaneda, smoked hash with the Rolling Stones, and partied at New York’s Studio 54 while looking for photography or acting jobs. Although she was apart from her children, she wrote that her relationship with them and Pierre was healthier when she exercised her freedom.

Trudeau said quitting marijuana helped her mental health at a press conference for the Canadian Mental Health Association's March 2007 Bottom Line Conference. Trudeau, who was “recently diagnosed with bipolar disorder,” said, "I loved marijuana. I was a hippie in the '60s. I started smoking at a young age. I took to it like a duck to water. Strawberry Fields Forever and all that."

Trudeau said it is not uncommon for mental health sufferers to self-medicate with alcohol or marijuana, claiming, "Marijuana can trigger psychosis," and adding, "Every time I was hospitalized it was preceded by heavy use of marijuana." Trudeau was hospitalized three times for mental illness. Her first followed the birth of her second child, Alexandre, and her most recent one followed the deaths of her son Michel and Pierre Trudeau.

Trudeau said, "It takes maturity first to comply with the pharmaceutical. There's the feeling that it is taking away from your creativity, your spark. My doctor said 'No Margaret, it's your disease that's taking away from your spark.'" She said she has completely given up the use of marijuana, something she once thought made her feel "wonderful." "I miss it," she said of pot smoking. She is now a speaker for hire on mental health issues.

(1975) Cooley High

Cooley High is a 1975 American film based upon the real high school located on the near north side of Chicago produced and released by American International Pictures and written by Eric Monte (co-creator of Good Times). The film, set in 1964 Chicago, Illinois, stars Glynn Turman and Lawrence Hilton-Jacobs, and features a soundtrack made up primarily of 1960s Motown hits.

The film is considered a classic of black cinema, and its soundtrack featured a new Motown recording, G.C. Cameron's hit single "It's So Hard to Say Goodbye to Yesterday". That song was covered in 1991 by Motown act Boyz II Men on the group's first LP, named Cooleyhighharmony in honor of this film.

Plot

The story explores the adventures and relationships of Leroy "Preach" Jackson (Turman) and Richard "Cochise" Morris (Hilton-Jacobs), two black high school students at Edwin G. Cooley High School, in Chicago, during the 1960s whose carefree lives take a turn for the worse through several twists of fate, including violent carjacking friends, drugs, failing grades, and girls.Source

(1977) Lynyrd Skynyrd - That Smell

"That Smell" is a song by the southern rock band Lynyrd Skynyrd. Written by Ronnie Van Zant and guitarist Allen Collins, it was released in 1977 on the album Street Survivors. At the time the song was written, the band had been drinking and doing many different drugs.[1] Van Zant had said that he started drinking heavily to relieve the pressure of performing in front of large audiences.[1]

The song's name comes from the fact that there is a saying among heroin users that the smell of cooking it brings you right back to shooting it.[2]

Van Zant's inspiration for the song was the increasing reckless indulgences of the band members culminating in the evening when guitarist Gary Rossington got drunk and high and survived the crash of his new car into an oak tree along Mandarin Road in Jacksonville, Florida[1] (where the band was founded). Van Zant was thus inspired to write the song as a warning about the consequences of careless overuse of drugs and alcohol. Van Zant said, "I had a creepy feeling things were going against us, so I thought I'd write a morbid song (as a warning)."[1] The lyrics cautioned that "tomorrow might not be here for you", and that "the smell of death surrounds you". Three days after the album was released, the band was devastated by a plane crash killing several members including Van Zant.

The song is featured in the films Blow (2001), Joe Dirt (2001) and Wild Hogs (2007), at the end of the fourth episode of the HBO television drama series True Blood (2008) & the song also appeared in the first season of Entourage.Source

(1976) Steely Dan - Kid Charlemagne

Writers Walter Becker and Donald Fagen have stated that the lyrics were loosely inspired by the exploits of the infamous 1960s San Francisco-based LSD chemist Owsley Stanley[3] — although it conflates the core story with numerous other images of the Sixties:

On the hill the stuff was laced with kerosene
But yours was kitchen clean
Everyone stopped to stare at your Technicolor motor home
Every A-frame had your number on the wall

The first two lines draw on the fact that Owsley's acid was famed for its purity, and the third line is likely a reference to the famous psychedelic bus named Further, which was used by the Merry Pranksters, who were supplied their LSD by Owsley himself.[citation needed]

The lyric "You'd go to LA on a dare and you'd go it alone" alludes to a story in The Electric Kool-Aid Acid Test about a trip taken by chief Prankster Ken Kesey.

The final verse foreshadows Owsley's eventual bust:

Clean this mess up else we'll all end up in jail
Those test tubes and the scale
Just get it all out of here
Is there gas in the car?
Yes, there's gas in the car
I think the people down the hall know who you are

Owsley and another person were arrested after their car ran out of gas.[citation needed]

The song features a jazz-inflected electric guitar solo by guitarist Larry Carlton. The drum track was played by Bernard "Pretty" Purdie whose long-time session partner, Chuck Rainey, plays the bass.Source

Eden Hashish Center - Khatmandu, Nepal

Kathmandu Nepal, located in a beautiful valley in the Himalaya Mountains, was a hippie magnet in the late 60's and early 70's. Friendly and intelligent people, great food and cheap lodging were some of the attractions, but an important reason was the local attitude towards marijuana - it was legal. Indeed Ganga, as it is called there, grows wild all over the hills, and its' more interesting properties have long been explored and respected by Sadhus - the wandering holy men of Nepal and India. The hippies fit right in.

The Eden Hashish Centre was the largest of several legal storefronts in Kathmandu that provided quality hash and grass to the tourists. Mr. Sharma, the owner, opened two shops. The original location was at 5/1 Basantpur in the famous “Freak Street” hippy district, a location that ironically now is occupied by a bank. The second shop was located at 5/259 Ombahal, said to be in the Thamel area.

In late 1973, soon after the second Edenhash shop opened, threats of the loss of foreign aid from the American administration of Richard Nixon forced Nepal to outlaw hashish and marijuana. The two Eden Hashish Centres, the Central Hashish Centre and the others closed their doors and the pot and hashish business moved underground. These days much of the hash in Nepal (“charris” in Nepali) is mixed with a type of glue, making a harsh and unappealing smoke.

The memory (and perhaps a trace of the aroma) of the Eden Hashish Center lives on in the advertising posters Mr Sharma distributed. Extraordinary prints of Hindu gods and other subjects were embossed with the Eden name and addresses to make a unique picture that was often taken home and prized by their Hippie customers. These rare genuine posters (many had calendars attached at the bottom) are valuable collector's items today.

Thai Stick

A Thai stick is a form of cannabis from Thailand that was popular during the late 1960s and early 1970s. It consisted of premium buds of seedless marijuana which were skewered on stems. Several rows of fiber found in the stalk of the marijuana plant were then used to tie the marijuana to the stem to keep it in place.[1] Thai stick bud may also be tied around bamboo sticks with a piece of string known as a “rasta hair.”[2]

The Thai stick formulation exhibited considerably higher potency in comparison with other cannabis available in the United States at the time. It was rumored that this added potency was due to the Thai sticks being dipped in opium. One reason given for its decline was the advent of more potent marijuana in the late 1970s. However, the end of the Vietnam War in 1975 and the reduction of military troop transports (which was the primary means of export) between Thailand, particularly Bangkok, and the United States, was likely the most influential reason for its eventual disappearance.

In modern terminology, Thai stick often refers to marijuana tied to stem as documented above and then dipped into a hashish oil, a potent cannabis derivative which saturates the buds and lends to a stronger smoke. Some California cannabis clubs sell this product. Originally, this was a frequent practice of the 1970s with the actual Thai stick. There are still some surviving recipes from Cambodia where high quality marijuana and hash oil are used.Source

(1978) Bee Gees - With a Little Help From my Friends

Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band is a 1978 American musical film. Its soundtrack, Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band, features new versions of songs originally written and performed by The Beatles. The film draws primarily from two of their albums, 1967's Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band and 1969's Abbey Road.

The production is somewhat adapted from Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band on the Road, a 1974 off-Broadway production directed by Tom O'Horgan. It tells the loosely-constructed story of a band as they wrangle with the music industry and battle evil forces bent on stealing their instruments and corrupting their home town of Heartland. The film is presented in a form similar to that of a rock opera with the Beatles' songs providing "dialogue" to carry the story, with only George Burns having spoken lines that act to clarify the plot and provide further narration.Source
