MARIJUANA AT THE MOVIES: WOODSTOCK (1970)

If you were born too late for the Age of Aquarius, this beautiful, sprawling concert film may be the best way to relive the high spirits of the '60s without risking a trip to Vietnam. Inventively spliced together using a series of split screens, Woodstock offers up a sense of psychedelic overload, not to mention a front - row seat for the music festival that defined a generation, including the tokers, the trippers, and the victims of the brown acid. Highlights include musical performances from the biggest(and baked-est) names classic rock, featuring Crosby, Stills and Nash, The Who, Joe Cocker, Jimi Hendrix, Santana, and Sly & the Family Stone performing their latest hit, "I Want To Take You Higher."
