There are millions of fans who love The Beatles and marijuana, and on August 28, 1964, the future of rock and roll changed forever when Bob Dylan introduced the Beatles to cannabis. The two would and will be linked forever.

“I remember it pretty well, you know,” Paul McCartney said. “We stayed in this hotel [the Delmonico in New York City] and we were on tour, so we were all in the hotel suite together. We had a drink and then Bob [Dylan] arrived and disappeared into a back room. Then Ringo went back to him and after a few minutes Ringo came back into the suite a little dazed and confused and we said, “What’s going on?” and he said, “Oh, Bob’s smoking weed back there,” and we said, ” Oh, what’s that like?” and Ringo said, ‘The ceiling feels like it’s sinking a little’.”

Of course the music, the clothing and the Yellow Submarine are very reminiscent of psychedelics. The hits are always very popular with consumers who want to lose themselves in a positive moment. Because music and cannabis simultaneously trigger the dopamine system, the brain chemically reinforces two extremely pleasurable behaviors.

Despite the differences that would later divide them, marijuana was a unifying factor in their prime as musicians. As John Lennon once admitted, they were “smoking marijuana for breakfast” at the time.

While we were making “Help,” Ringo Starr said, “There was a hell of a lot of weed being smoked while we were making the movie. It was great. That helped make it a lot of fun.”
