I find this amusing. When I was a freshman at UC Berkeley, I was simply amazed that we were allowed to smoke in the large lecture halls during class. Students put their cigarettes out by grinding them on the floor. I’m not going to tell you how long ago that was, but it was before anyone had ever heard of marijuana. These cigarettes were Camels and Marlboroughs.
Gosh, I remember smoking in classes at San Jose State back in the mid 70s. Mostly to stay awake during those boring afternoon lectures.
What I find amusing was access to your library using ID’s of color while I am quite white. UC Berkley has an amazing library minus the missing Sanskrit texts...
Last month, TCM featured William Powell, and an early '30s movie had him as a jewelry thief giving marijuana cigarettes out at a party so as to allow him to do his thing while the society types were stoned.
Then the movie industry code came into place...
My first days on campus, Big Tobacco was pushing mint flavored Skoal.
