“I don’t know what is marijuana. Perhaps I will try it when it will no longer be criminal. I will have my money for my fine and a joint in the other hand,” o Jean Chretien, former Prime Minister of Canada, on the decriminalization of Marijuana
Please don’t throw your shit at me… unless that shit resembles a bag of marijuana o Les Claypool
Legalize it, and I will advertise it. o Peter Tosh
“Why use up the forests which were centuries in the making and the mines which required ages to lay down, if we can get the equivalent of forest and mineral products in the annual growth of the hemp fields?” o Henry Ford
If the words “life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness” don’t include the right to experiment with your own consciousness, then the Declaration of Independence isn’t worth the hemp it was written on. o Terence McKenna
Congress should definitely consider decriminalizing possession of marijuana… We should concentrate on prosecuting the rapists and burglars who are a menace to society. o Dan Quayle U.S. Representative and Vice president (March 1977)
Government exists to protect us from each other. Where government has gone beyond its limits is in deciding to protect us from ourselves. o Ronald Reagan, U.S. President (1980-1988)
I have never seen two people on pot get in a fight because it is fucking IMPOSSIBLE. “Hey, buddy!” “Hey, what?” “Ummmmmmm….” End of argument. o Bill Hicks
It really puzzles me to see marijuana connected with narcotics dope and all of that stuff. It is a thousand times better than whiskey. It is an assistant and a friend. o Louis Armstrong
“Marijuana is taken by ‘…..musicians. And I’m not speaking about good musicians, but the jazz type… o Harry J. Anslinger, Federal Bureau of Narcotics, 1948
Make the most of the Indian hemp seed, and sow it everywhere! o George Washington in a note to his gardener at Mount Vernon (1794), The Writings of George Washington, Volume 33, page 270 (Library of Congress) o Washington also recorded his concern that the male and female plants be seperated:
May 12-13 1765: Sowed Hemp at Muddy hole by Swamp. August 7, 1765: —began to seperate (sic) the Male from the Female Hemp at Do —rather too late.
Some assert his interest in separating the male and female plants is an indication that he may have used Indian hemp medicinally to treat his chronic tooth aches. Others note that fiber of the male and female hemp plants have a different optimum harvest times.
Penalties against possession of a drug should not be more damaging to an individual than the use of the drug itself; and where they are, they should be changed. Nowhere is this more clear than in the laws against possession of marihuana in private for personal use… Therefore, I support legislation amending Federal law to eliminate all Federal criminal penalties for the possession of up to one ounce of marihuana. o Jimmy Carter, U.S. President in a message to the U.S. Congress (1977)
When I was in England I experimented with marijuana a time or two, and I didn’t like it. I didn’t inhale. o Bill Clinton, U.S. President (1993-2001)
You bet I did -— and I enjoyed it. o Michael Bloomberg - New York City Mayor, when asked if he had ever smoked marijuana.
“I’m not going to be Bill Clinton and say I never inhaled. I did inhale. I liked tobacco a lot better.” o Frank Zappa
The illegality of cannabis is outrageous, an impediment to full utilization of a drug which helps produce the serenity and insight, sensitivity and fellowship so desperately needed in this increasingly mad and dangerous world. o Carl Sagan
Not just pot rights.. but grass rights.. the right of grass not to be mowed. o O Anna Niemus
A poem: Slowly the foreign air enter me. I feel tingles and sensations. My life becomes a fantasy. Cannabis now rules thee. o Thaddeus
My choice is what I choose to do, And if I’m causing no harm, it shouldn’t bother you.
Your choice is who you choose to be, And if you’re causin’ no harm, then you’re alright with me.
If you don’t like my fire, then don’t come around, ’cause I’m gonna burn one down. Yes, I’m gonna burn one down.
Herb the gift from the earth, And what’s from the earth is of the greatest worth. So before you knock it try it first, Oh, you’ll see it’s a blessing and not a curse. o Ben Harper
“I think that marijuana makes you stupid but sensual. I’ve watched many of my friends and loved ones become more erotic and dumber–just going around with a glazed expression on their faces from their last orgasms to the next–and found them really quite boring.” o Timothy Leary
Marijuana is addictive in the sense that all great things in life are worth repeating o Jenna Sheehan
“Hey, hey, hey. Smoke weed everyday.” o Dave Chappelle

Bob Marley summed up the influence of cannabis on emerging Rasta consciousness in an interview with Stephen Davis: "Rastaman sit down and smoke some herb, with good meditation, and a policeman come see him, stick him up, search him, beat him, and put him in prison. Now, what is this guy doing these things for? Herb grows like yams and cabbage. Just grow. Policemen do these things fe evil... System don't agree with herb because herb make ya too solid. Y'see, when ya smoke herb ya conscience come right in front of ya. Ya see it? So the devil see ya not guan fe do fool thing again. Yes, Rasta! Herb is the healing of the nation."
--The history of music and marijuana (part two) by Russell Cronin (20 Jan, 2005)
The war on marijuana goes back to 1914 when El Paso passed an ordinance allowing police to arrest any Mexican by saying they had marijuana in their pockets.
