In a time when states across America are reversing decades of legislation against marijuana, and during a week when the president himself has declared the herb to be no more harmful than alcohol (even less IMOHO), it’s important to look to the past for guidance in the present.

Busted four times including once for growing his own weed on his farm, McCartney even had to deal with travel restrictions in America because of his marijuana-related arrest record. His last bust broke 30 years ago. Wiki has the skinny…

In 1984, while on holiday in Barbados, authorities arrested McCartney for possession of marijuana and fined him $200. Upon his return to England, he stated: “cannabis is … less harmful than rum punch, whiskey, nicotine and glue, all of which are perfectly legal … I don’t think … I was doing anyone any harm whatsoever…People are smoking pot anyway and to make them criminals is wrong.”

See for yourself…
