October 12, 1993 - Tales of Pot Smoke and Gun Smoke
The Los Angeles rap group Cypress Hill proudly unveiled a prop during its set on Wednesday night at Roseland. A pair of fingers, thick as tree trunks, held a glowing, smoking, four-foot joint; hanging above, on a wall, was an enlarged marijuana leaf. With songs like "I Wanna Get High" (including the line, "Tell Bill Clinton to go inhale") and "Hits From the Bong," Cypress Hill has made itself a virtual spokesgroup for the pleasures of marijuana. Before the rappers performed, a representative of the National Organization for the Reform of Marijuana Laws addressed the audience.
