That is hilarious! But thanks Mike for posting that as Dylan turning The Beatles on to pot is a huge, huge thing. This might be a 50th anniversary thingie actually worth celebrating.
That summit changed the musical landscape and the reefer helped free the Beatles minds and thus ours.

It makes a nice story, but it isn't really true, according to Harrison's account in ANTHOLOGY (at least to it being their first time--the story about being with Dylan and what happened that night is accurate as far as we know):
"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. I remember we smoked it in the band room in a gig in Southport and we all learnt to do the Twist that night, which was popular at the time. We were all seeing if we could do it. 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.'

I should have known that story wasn't completely true. Joey, what do you have on Santa Claus and the Easter Bunny, might as well pop my other bubbles!
