In honor of three more states legalizing the use of marijuana, I bring you this old NBC news special from 1978 titled Reading, Writing, and Reefer.
The special documents four Southern teenage potheads, including one who was only 12 years old at the time it was shot. For those of us who grew up with "Just Say No", this is a fascinating portal into a time period when Dazed and Confused wasn't just a movie, but a reality for some kids.
Also, check out my essay on the special on Kinja.
