R.I.P. to a very important pothead

Norman Mailer dies at 84
Mailer had a few things to say about marijuana…

Though Mailer says he hasn’t smoked in a decade, he credits his past marijuana use with opening him up to the consciousness of a “higher power” and music appreciation, especially jazz. “I’d been listening to jazz for years, but it had never meant all that much to me. Now, with the powers pot offered, simple things became complex; complex things clarified themselves,” he said.
