(1996) Canada's Birthday has gone to pot for marijuana smokers who rallied at Sunset Beach on Canada Day to demonstrate support for the legalization of the drug. About 1,500 people joined the protest that carried on into the night.


First Cannabis Day? Is that DML in the center?

Nope and nope.

Here's the real story of Cannabis Day:

Time 4 Hemp - Dennis Peron

The second half of this video covers the nineties history.

Date on the Big Bad Voodoo Daddy song is wrong... Looks like it's not Nineties at all. My source says 2009, but my source is poor. Sorry.

(1994) Green Day - Longview

LSD inspired musical genius has not been limited to the ’60s. Case in point – Green Day and their memorable ’90s hit Longview off their 1994 breakout lp ‘Dookie’.

Love that bass line? Well here’s how it came down. It seems band member Mike Dirnt was fiddling with his bass when he decided to drop some acid. When singer Billie Joe Armstrong came upon his mate, he found him lying against a wall with his bass lying in his lap, playing a driving, thudding bass line.

Dirnt would tell Rolling Stone that “I was frying on acid so hard.“ But what came out of the Lysergic mind bath was the landmark intro to the band’s ode to boredom Longview. Once the acid wore off Dirnt would recall having a hard time playing the lick: ”It seemed to make more sense when I was on drugs.” Collectively the band made it work and the song ended up earning a Grammy and countless new Green Day fans.Source
