When I was an art student in the early 60's before the acid scene began I was smoking pot just like anyone else who was an artist.

When I was an art student in the early 60's before the acid scene began I was smoking pot just like anyone else who was an artist.

I went to an art school in Brooklyn and painted Fine Art, if that's what you'd call it for eight years in New York, until I saw the first underground comics in the East Village Other.

Then I abandoned comics for fine art because I had some romantic vision of being like Vincent Van Gogh Jr.

I'm not really a heavy smoker any more. I only get through two lighters a day now.

They lie about marijuana. Tell you pot-smoking makes you unmotivated. Lie! When you're high, you can do everything you normally do, just as well. You just realize that it's not worth the fucking effort. There is a difference.
