Lenny's pot luck charm

June 15, 2004 | smh.com.au

Retro-rocker Lenny Kravitz says he kept a marijuana joint that he had shared with Mick Jagger as a souvenir for a year, reports Ananova.com.

The 'Let Love Rule' singer said he kept the joint because he was such a fan of the ageless Rolling Stones frontman. However, the remainder went up in smoke a year later after he ran out of dope.

"We were performing on the same stage once, and he invited me to go to his place afterwards," Kravitz told the Croatian magazine Gloria.

"We talked the entire night, and smoked marijuana. We shared a joint, and I kept the rest of it for almost a year. It was a sign of respect."

But Kravitz's respect was apparently outweighed by a pressing need one night.

"At one point I had no grass at home, so I smoked the rest of the joint I shared with Jagger," he said.

Kravitz is scheduled to perform in Velika Gorica, Croatia, on June 23, to promote his new album, Baptism.

[Suetaznote: If smoking a joint togther is a bonding experience and a sign of respect, why is it illegal?! Such a positive action should be the right of everyone. That is what we are fighting for, the freedom to express ourselves in our own culture as freely as we have the right to. And it is our right.]
