“Heard joke once:
Man goes to doctor. Says he's depressed. Says life seems harsh and cruel. Says he feels all alone in a threatening world where what lies ahead is vague and uncertain.
Doctor says, "Treatment is simple. Great clown Pagliacci is in town tonight. Go and see him. That should pick you up."
Man bursts into tears. Says, "But doctor...I am Pagliacci.”
― Alan Moore, Watchmen
Clown smoking, Life 1953

"Remember, the prince is like a mirror exposed to the eyes of all his subjects who continually look to him as a pattern on which to model themselves, and who in consequence without much trouble discover his vices and virtues."

LAW OF INDIES XX (1545)
Charles V, the Holy Roman Emperor, almost ruled it all. Ruling over the Spanish kingdom, The Holy Roman kingdom, the Germanic Empire, Netherlands & Italy with colonies all over the world including the new world. If that wasn't enough he proclaimed the growing of hemp...
"The Empire on which the sun never sets" decrees hemp to be grown in the new world in Charles V's: the LAW OF INDIES XX (1545)...
Laws of Indies. Book 4, Title 18. On commerce, sustenance, and fruits of the Indies. Law XX
Translated:
"Law XX. Let Viceroys, and Governors see to the planting of, and benefitting from flax and hemp.
We [Emperor Charles V, of the Holy Roman Germanic Empire] entrust Viceroys, and Governors, to see to it that flax and hemp be sown and benefitted in the Indies, and to procure that the Indians apply themselves to this grangery, and that they understand in spinning and weaving flax.
Emperor D. [Don] Carlos and the Prince G. [Governor] in Ponferrada at 13 June 1545."
Added as an amendment to the 1542 writing of "laws of the indies" by Charles V in 1545, this decree made Viceroys and Governors in charge of making sure hemp was grown in the area's under their rule in the new world...
Although cannabis was already in the new world, this is the first official "order" to actually grow hemp in the new world. This worked so well that less then 50 years later the kingdom would have to discourage the practice with falling import sales needed from the home lands...

Well, as I understand it, the main supporters are beer companies and the pharmaceutical companies. I'd like them to show me the dead bodies from marijuana. But they can't because there aren't any. Jack Herer
Born in New York City in 1939, Herer served as a military policeman during the Korean War. A pro-war Republican prohibitionist (who named his first son after famously conservative U.S. Senator Barry Goldwater, according to Jeannie), he allegedly threatened to leave the first of his four wives upon finding out that she had smoked pot. After moving to Los Angeles in 1967 and divorcing said wife, Herer himself discovered cannabis (“A girl he had a crush on talked him into smoking some,” Jeannie says) and rapidly reinvented himself.

Winter
When icicles hang by the wall
And Dick the shepherd blows his nail
And Tom bears logs into the hall,
And milk comes frozen home in pail,
When Blood is nipped and ways be foul,
Then nightly sings the staring owl,
Tu-who;
Tu-whit, tu-who: a merry note,
While greasy Joan doth keel the pot.
When all aloud the wind doth blow,
And coughing drowns the parson's saw,
And birds sit brooding in the snow,
And Marian's nose looks red and raw
When roasted crabs hiss in the bowl,
Then nightly sings the staring owl,
Tu-who;
Tu-whit, tu-who: a merry note,
While greasy Joan doth keel the pot.
