Acid Quote by Tommy Rettig
“Acid wasn't getting a whole lot of bad press at the time, and as I saw the whole bad-press thing happen, I became aware that the government had done a whole lie on all the other benign drugs as well. It became clear to me that the government wanted no real drug education.”

![“I do have a plan for the country [the USA]. It needs education. And there should be drug education - only people should be taught how to smoke pot, because even potheads don't know how to smoke pot. I've evolved into not only an activist, but an educator. I want to show people how, when, and why…” quote by Tommy Chong](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/img-quotes/b28/tommy-chong-4039_activist_i-do-have-a-plan-for-the-country-the-usa_1521499.jpg)
