• We first got marijuana from an older drummer with another group in Liverpool. We didn't actually try it until after we'd been to Hamburg.

Everybody was saying, 'This stuff isn't doing anything.' It was like that old joke where a party is going on and two hippies are up floating on the ceiling, and one is saying to the other, 'This stuff doesn't work, man.'
