A quote from the late 1950s
'You see, I'm a convict. That's the same as being a criminal. Am I depressed?---naturally. I feel like a bootlegger must have felt a quarter of a century ago when marijuana was legal and booze was illegal. . .well, what I'm trying to emphasize is that everyone in the country smokes marijuana, and yet they put you in just as if you were carrying a gun. . .They say, there's no excuse for you to smoke marijuana,' but that's like telling an alcoholic that if he doesn't stop drinking he'll get five to life. . . Marijuana, it's the mystical shortcut. Everyone is trying to get out of their mind one way or another, and marijuana is the best, the easiest, the least debilitating. . .It's the easiest way to get to the eternal now. . ."
