"smoke"

After watching this film "Smoking" , I can better understand the cannabis culture of the 70s!
The United States in the 1970s was a time when musical geniuses emerged in large numbers, and the influence of the time is still inseparable to this day. Movies continue to be interspersed with the classic music of the 1970s. The United States was at the time of the Vietnam War and the domestic anti-war voices were surging, but the government insisted on fighting the war. With such a frustrated mind, young people turned their attention to pop music, marijuana, and all kinds of substances that could relieve themselves. The

two starring actors and Thoughts : Cheech Marin/Tommy Chung, respectively playing the sons of the rich family, who like hippie rock music, can’t get rid of marijuana, otherwise they will become a puddle of mud! The other is Hispanic, a low-level person, who lives in the street and loves music.
In fact, a pair of live treasures, on the way to the music festival, strayed into the cannabis processing factory of the drug cartel, and directly drove the car made of cannabis to smoke the police and rock musicians. It was a big success!

A farce, interpreting the cry of the young people of that era! ---------- Anti-war, thus opposing everything!

    [to Anthony, "Man", as he makes a fruit smoothie]

    Arnold Stoner: Son, your mother and me would like for you to cozy up to the Finkelstein boy. He's a bright kid, and, uh... he's going to military school, and... remember, he was an Eagle Scout...

    Mrs. Tempest Stoner: Arnold...

    Arnold Stoner: [shouting as wife continues] Will you shut up? We're not going to have a family brawl!

    Mrs. Tempest Stoner: ...and a retard!

    Arnold Stoner: We've put up with a hell of a lot.

    [Anthony starts blender]

    Arnold Stoner: Can this wait? Build your goddamn muscles, huh? You know, you could build your muscles picking strawberries. You know, bend and scoop... like the Mexicans.

    [Anthony turns off blender and pours contents into tall glass]

    Arnold Stoner: Shit, maybe I could get you a job with United Fruit! I got a buddy with United Fruit. Get you started. Start with strawberries, you might work your way up to these goddamn bananas!

    [Anthony drinks from glass as his father shouts]

    Arnold Stoner: When, boy? When... are you going to get your act together?

    [Anthony turns to him and gives a loud belch]

    Mrs. Tempest Stoner: [in disgust] Gross!

    Arnold Stoner: [rubs his forehead with his hand] Oh, good God Almighty me. I think he's the Antichrist.

    [turns to his son]

    Arnold Stoner: Anthony, I want to talk to you. Now, listen!

    [Anthony walks away and gives an obscene gesture behind his back]

    Arnold Stoner: Don't walk away from me when I'm talking to you! You get a goddamn job before sundown...

    Mrs. Tempest Stoner: [pointing to Anthony as he walks away] Is that some kind of peace sign?

    Arnold Stoner: ...or we're shipping you off to military school with that... goddamn Finkelstein... shit kid!

    [turns away in frustration]

    Arnold Stoner: Son of a BITCH!
