High coming to video
DWR: Pete Guither 11.12.8

Some time ago, I reviewed the film High: The True Tale of American Marijuana by Drug WarRant friend John Holowach.

It's an powerful and excellent film.

"High" is finally being released to DVD. There's a premiere at Columbia College tomorrow evening, and it can now be ordered at Amazon.com.

More information is available at the High site.

Note: I'm pretty sure the film has been updated (and trimmed down some) since I reviewed it. The new trailer for the film is available .

When I came to New York in 1937, I didn't drink nor smoke marijuana.'You gotta be a square muthafucka!' Charlie Shavers said and turned me on to smoking pot. Now, certainly, we were not the only ones. Some of the older musicians had been smoking reefers for 40 and 50 years. Jazz musicians, the old ones and the young ones, almost all of them that I knew smoked pot, but I wouldn't call that drug abuse.
-- Dizzy Gillespie, in his 1979 autobiography, "To Be or not to Bop"

The shocking truth about jazz

Marijuana is a useful catalyst for specific optical and aural aesthetic perceptions. I apprehended the structure of certain pieces of jazz and classical music in a new manner under the influence of marijuana, and these apprehensions have remained valid in years of normal consciousness.
-- Allen Ginsberg, "The Great Marijuana Hoax," 1966

Tight Like That Gage By Louis Armstrong

I'm gonna get high
Gonna get high just as sure as you know my name.
Y'know I'm gonna get so high this morning
It's going to be a cryin' shame.
Well you know I'm gonna stick with my reefer
Ain't gonna be messin' round with no cocaine.
-- Muddy Waters

Shocking! Willie Nelson Busted for Pot

"When I received my medical marijuana from the government, the judge who had acquitted me was asked, 'Where can Elvy smoke?' My attorney suggested wherever nicotine is permissible, and the judge agreed with him."
