My thinking is if I Smoked some of Woody's weed, I'd BE a corpse. LOL But yeah. I got offered a beer by Nicko McBrain as he was leaving a show one night. We asked for an autograph and realized we had nothing to write on, so he said, "No time mate, but thanks for comin'! " and handed my friend an I each a beer out of the case he was carrying. That would have been the Powerslave tour 85.
If you want to talk about potent weed, look into the story of Harrison Ford and Paul McCartney. Happened just within the last year or two. It's worth mentioning that Harrison Ford not only sold weed (Mama Cass allegedly burst out during the screening of the first Star Wars film "That's my pot dealer!" when Han Solo first appeared), but Carrie Fisher recalled that Harrison's stash was so absurdly strong that she could hardly remember the time they spent together because she was so flabbergasted by the strength of his weed, and we all know Carrie loved to party so if she's being knocked out, you know it's gotta be good. Anyways, the story goes that they bumped into each other at the same restaurant. Harrison had a joint on him and invited McCartney to come out and smoke with him. It ended up being so potent that Macca appeared to be ill and had to leave the premises, for which a statement had to be crafted for concerned onlookers that McCartney was not actually sick, he'd just gotten too high because of Harrison Ford.
Wow! Now thats impressive! You must’ve gone to university w the dude eh? I heard all 3 now Neil RIP master)! My sister had them as her high school dance band. She hated them! I was lucky to see them 2x in TO,being Toronto based chick! Even during their kimono “ daze” all the wine and great weed and hash back then ! Memories”
@@alexbowman7582 I think it exists for alcohol too but its not as pronounced. For sure, if you are determined to get shitthoused drunk, you will be able to. Back when I used to drink a lot more in my younger years, I would take me more drinks to start feeling it than it does now. I think I used to have more of a tolerance to alcohol than I do now. That is just me personally though.
I smoked weed with Snoop Dogg at at Super Bowl party I was working in Detroit. I got fired as soon as my manager laid eyes on me. I could barely stand up.
@@tintanmaster nope, I was bartending the event back in '06 when the Superbowl came to Detroit. I don't think the Internet was full force like that then.
I smoked weed with Woody Harrelson once! Super nice guy! I was the manager of an independant art house cinema called The Bijou in Eugene, OR and he was touring his new environmental film on bicycle, but with a support bus to sleep and eat, etc. He invited the workers and other vips out to the bus, where we hot-boxed it thoroughly!
Sometimes people overhype their stories, but THIS one is definitely way more than even the title suggests. Loved the added bonus little Tom Waits sidebar story that's pretty great too! As if this story isn't great enough. "oh, and by the way, years earlier......."😂
I smoked with Daron from System of a Down once. He was cool, kinda strange, but about what I expected. We were at the Troubador in Hollywood and he packed a bowl and handed it to me. I said "I thought you couldn't smoke in here?" he said "I can."
Back in the 90s my band had just finished up at glastonbury and we were reversing out of the backstage area, I'd just rolled one and was in the passenger seat up front with my window down, as we came to a halt before turning and pulling away my bandmate pointed out that we needed to go through a gate up ahead that had a few security guys and a couple of cops around it so maybe I should extinguish what I had in my fingers, I looked to my side and inches away from my window was a guy stood alone with his back to me, I said "scuse me" and he turned around, to my surprise it was Howard Marx, I said "would you take charge of my friend here?", he smiled broadly and accepted my gift, as we pulled away Mr Marx and I shared a lasting smile in the wing mirror, it's a lovely memory
Great story. When I was in college, I got the chance to hang out with Don mclean in the dressing room while the warm-up band was playing. The twist is, the acid started hitting hard while I was sitting there in the dressing room. 😊 He even mentioned me once from the stage during his performance.
I got stoned with a couple of the Dragonforce dudes back around '06 when they had that big song. They're funny nerds, as one may expect. My cousin and I had a beer with Devin Townsend around this time (end of SYL days/The New Black tour) and you could tell me was burnt out/mentally ill/whatever you wanna call it. Glad to see DT got his act together because he was a real deal headcase back then.
People with ADHD smoke to function, not for recreational purposes. (Unless / except when drinking alcohol) I was a solid C student until I found weed, achieved straight A’s with grass in my head!
My famous smoke bud was Harry Chapin. He did a concert sponsored by my brother’s fraternity in Schenectady NY around 1979 or 80. Chapin showed up at the fraternity after party. 15 year old me found myself in a room with Chapin and a dozen others hitting a bong. I’d also been drinking keg beer and puked all over the couch Chapin was on 😊
On night I went to the Pasadena, Texas radio station with a friend who knew the DJ. We were hanging out in the back of the studio and Three Dog Night came in. We all just sat around talking. Then they jammed and I played with them a couple of songs. They were high on pot and offered some to my friend and I. They just stopped by the radio station on their way to their next concert in Houston. They were just regular guys, like the friends I had at the time. Things were so laid back in those days. No security and hardly any rules. It’s almost impossible to get to hang out with any famous person.
Sweet, pungent aroma, smells like a skunk went off. Such an excellent description. Can't help but laugh through videos. Two of the guys already looked pretty well herbed
@@Mozart1220 And Woody right there with them! To slightly m0dify a Toby Keith song, after the burning sensation he got from that joint he was thinking "I'll never smoke weed with Woody again...."
You should have asked him about Pete Best. Then look for his reaction. PS: You felt like you didn't belong there because you weren't important enough....... well, think again. God made you important the day that you were born. The media or sales doesn't make you important. You had nothing to be intimidated by.

He’s getting high with a Beatle and he wastes time taking about Tom Waite’s . What was McCartney like when he was high? What else did he talk about? Lousy interview

What we knew about him then? WTF. Typical weed Head 60s Hippie full of shit and name dropping, while never getting to the point. Had to leave before the end. Too much nonsense. Get to the damned point!
This guy so ridiculous. So he’s been around all these entertainers and knows that it’s all an act and he doesn’t consider that Paul McCartney is a regular person who just happen to be supremely gifted. And being so dumb to mention what people say it’s inappropriate to mention then realizes oh, he’s a real person?

All the Beatles did drugs. I have never heard Paul McCartney be anti drug and I have been a Beatles fan since I saw them for the first time on Ed Sullivan. He definitely became anti meat when he fell in love with Linda. He absolutely does not eat anything that has a face. He’s vegan to this day.

People who smoke weed constantly don’t get stoned like a non smoker would.
Tolerance is a thing
@@TobiasSmith-u9b not really for alcohol though. Nearly all other drugs you get a tolerance.
@@alexbowman7582 I think it exists for alcohol too but its not as pronounced. For sure, if you are determined to get shitthoused drunk, you will be able to.

Also, beyond tolerance you learn how to control yourself, rein yourself in, "play the role of you".
You take 2 days off and it's sharp again. Plus there's two vastly different weed types, Sativa (stimulating) and Indica (stoner sedative).
