STONER SONGS: "Got To Get You Into My Life"(1996)

There's no overt mention of marijuana in what Paul McCartney later admitted was "an ode to pot," but rest assured that Sir Paul sings of Mary Jane in this otherwise straightahead Beatles' love song. And if you're wondering if that love endured, consider this: In 1980, McCartney was arrested and imprisoned for nine days after attempting to bring more than seven ounces of herb into Japan.

Thank you High Times.

STONER SONGS: "LEGALIZE IT" (1976)

Once a member of the Wailers alongside Bob Marley, Peter Tosh embarked on a highly political solo career after leaving the band, including this anthemic call to change the marijuana laws:"Legalize it / Don't criticize it / Legalize it, and I will advertise it." Never afraid to voice his opposition to hypocritical governments, both in Jamaica and around the world, Tosh once smoked a spliff on stage during a concert attended by the Prime Minister of Jamaica while demanding the legalization of cannabis.

Thank you High Times.

THE MALL HAS IT ALL

In 2008, officials found marijuana plants growing hydroponically in a storage area of a Miami mall. Drug enforcement agents seized 200 plants ranging from three to six feet tall. The grow room was powered by electricity diverted from the mall's main supply.

Thank you High Times.

High Times All Stars: Bill Lee

Known to fans and foes alike as "The Spaceman," Bill Lee was a big league outcast who touted Eastern philosophy, defended Maoist China, and claimed he sprinkled marijuana on his buckwheat pancakes in the morning - the THC thus making him impervious to bus fumes while jogging to work at Boston's Fenway Park. Late in his career, fans in Montreal threw him hash from the stands. He even partied with George W. Bush.

"Back in '73, we rolled a couple of doobies and smoked them together," Lee told Montreal Gazette prior to the 2000 presidential election. "And I can tell you, he definately inhaled."

Thank you High Times for the words of wisdom.

FOR THE BIRDS

Sterilized hemp seed is both perfectly legal and perfectly safe for birds. That, however, did not stop the DEA from seizing a trailer truck full of hemp birdseed in 1999. The DEA claimed the seeds were a Schedule 1 narcotic.
