(1962) The Weed of Crime

Toho's English-language trailer for THE WEED OF CRIME (1962), a crime film directed by Jun Fukuda (SON OF GODZILLA, GODZILLA VS. MEGALON).

It's about drugs and some sort of weed

(1968)The Crusade - Psychedelic Woman
(1985) The Vibes - Psychedelic Woman
The Black Rockstar - Psychedelic Woman


The Crusade are one of only two garage bands from Alaska that I know recorded (the other is the Pulsating Heartbeats from Anchorage). The Crusade came out of Sitka, and their 45 was released on the Golden North label out of Juneau, produced by J. Allen MacKinnon.

"Psychedelic Woman" has a heavy guitar line and lyrics about a girl who's "got big hips like a buffalo"! "Fade Away" is much more mellow. Both songs were written by Agafon Krukoff. I'd estimate this record to be from 1968.Source




(1973) Honey and the Bees Band - Psychedelic Woman
(2005) Bonobo - Psychedelic Woman

"Psychedelic Woman" is a 1973 Ghanaian song by Honny & the Bees Band. It was written and sung by Ernest Aubrey Honny,[1] who worked mainly as a session keyboardist and recording engineer.[2] Over a medium-tempo groove, the song begins with a spoken word story concerning a "psychedelic woman" first spotted at a nightclub. The story ends with a transitional climax to a sung chorus of several voices. There are several more choruses, interspersed with solo singing, then a funky, jazzy electric organ solo, finishing with a brief recap of singing. Part and parcel of the afrobeat sound then exploding out of nearby Nigeria, influences include reggae, James Brown, and perhaps even Britain's mods.[3][4]

Thirty years later it gained a new audience outside of Africa through its inclusion in multiple compilations of 1970's-era African music.Source

(1970) Quicksilver Messenger Service - Fresh Air

I'm not sure if these songs have drug references or not... 1-2-5 has a girl named Mary Jane. For Fresh Air, well, the lyrics go:

"Ooo, have another hit of sweet air, come on, ooo, have another hit."

I would've given him a medal too for having introduced the Beatles to cannabis.

(May 29th, 2012) Bob Dylan Receives Medal Of Freedom

The Presidential Medal of Freedom is an award bestowed by the President of the United States and is—along with the comparable Congressional Gold Medal bestowed by an act of U.S. Congress—the highest civilian award in the United States. It recognizes those individuals who have made "an especially meritorious contribution to the security or national interests of the United States, world peace, cultural or other significant public or private endeavors".[3] The award is not limited to U.S. citizens and, while it is a civilian award, it can also be awarded to military personnel and worn on the uniform.Source
