[The Beatles] Loved a particular little weed

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.’ George Harisson

We didn’t have a strong drug scene by any means. Originally, it was just purple hearts, amphetamines, speed or whatever you want to call it. When The Beatles went down south, they sometimes brought back cannabis and gradually the drug scene developed in Liverpool. Bob Wooler

Upon arriving in London, their driver Neil Aspinall became lost, and a pair of seedy men attempted to talk their way into the group’s van as a safe haven for smoking cannabis. At the time the drug was unknown to The Beatles, and still a little-used substance in mainstream society.

It is well-known that Bob Dylan fully turned The Beatles on to cannabis. On 28 August 1964 they were introduced by a mutual friend, the writer Al Aronowitz, at New York’s Delmonico Hotel.

Upon arriving at The Beatles’ suite that evening, Dylan expressed a preference for cheap wine. ‘I’m afraid we only have champagne,’ Brian Epstein apologised, although there were other expensive French wines and Scotch and Coke. The Beatles began asking Evans to get some cheap wine, but Dylan got stuck in to what was available. They also offered him purple hearts, but Dylan and Aronowitz declined and suggested they smoke grass instead.

Drug Consumption helped the Beatles on their search to make something new but in other way their drug abuse did way more bad than good to their carrer and relationship. What do you think? Comment here down below!
