McCartney: ‘The Last Time I Smoked Was A Long Time Ago’

After a long and sometimes tumultuous relationship with marijuana, Paul McCartney says he’s given it up because he doesn’t want to set a bad example for his children. “I don’t do it anymore” he told the Daily Mirror. It started in 1964 after a visit from Bob Dylan to his New York hotel room. McCartney was fined in 1972 for possession in Sweden, charged with illegal cultivation after plants were discovered at his farm in Scotland the next year and spent 10 days in jail in 1980 after officials in Japan found weed in his luggage. He said he could not quit because cannabis was “such good stuff." McCartney now says “Instead of smoking a spliff, I’ll now have a glass of red wine or a nice margarita."
