Well, I went to school with Jan and Dean, Ryan O'Neal, some of the Beach Boys we all use to party together.

Marijuana. Boy, I thought that was just terrible. How could this great man do this to his life?

I wanted to have a normal childhood. Normal relationships.

Acid wasn't getting a whole lot of bad press at the time, and as I saw the whole bad-press thing happen, I became aware that the government had done a whole lie on all the other benign drugs as well. It became clear to me that the government wanted no real drug education.

It was the worst period of my life. I had all this gigantic acceptance as a kid, and all of a sudden there was this monumental rejection.

I had always turned it down-to me, smoking pot was absolutely the worst thing in the world. I thought of it as an addiction, and all my friends who smoked it, I felt they really needed help.

Yeah, dog was this man's best friend, for sure.
