“Marijuana was the main thing that promoted non-violence amongst the youth, because as soon as they have it, they – first of all you have to laugh on your first experiences. There’s nothing else you do but laugh, and then, when you’ve got over that and you realize that people aren’t laughing at you, but with you, it’s a community thing, and nothing would ever stop it, nothing on earth is going to stop it, and the only thing to do is to find out how to use it for good, or for the best.”
— John Lennon
Beatles, 1968
