The Beatles petitioned to get Cannabis legalized back in 1967
For those of you who were in your prime back in the days of the Beatles then you will have heavily been influenced by the marijuana scene. Just imagine getting high and listening to psychedelic rock that high will obviously be a twisted one and many must have enjoyed these trippy highs.
More to the point with the Beatles also having connectton to India and the hippy scene they naturally had a connection with marijuana and even it is thought that one of their songs, Norwegian Wood (This Bird has Flown), actually refers to marijuana indirectly.
Marijuana was actually introduced to the band by Bob Dylan and then on July the 24th 1967 the Beatles signed a petition in the Times to legalize it – isn’t that just great?
Not sure what would happen if someone of the same status as the Beatles did that today in the UK, however the good news for the US is that Obama seems to be the man for the MJ movement at the moment.
