"When I came to New York in 1937 I didn't drink nor smoke marijuana. <You gotta be a square muthafucka'!> Charlie Shavers said and turned me on to smoking pot. Now, certainly, we were not the only ones. Some of the older musicians had been smoking reefers for 40 and 50 years. Jazz musicians, the old ones and the young ones, almost all of them that I knew smoked pot, but I wouldn't call that drug abuse"
