Then I ask this...When did pot and folk become specifically related, as opposed to being common elements of society at large? Did pot creep into UK folk at the same time as it did the folk of the southern US, South Africa, elsewhere? It was not always a part of the singer/songwriter/folk culture was it?

I still don't think pot is/was as universally enjoyed by the folk community as some would have it, at least when compared to other communities within general society, like the rock audience, the biker scene, the drug community, and hell, there was alot of pot in the disco era where I came from.

Was this phenomenon regional? Cultural? Exploitive?

Peace, Mooh.
