Paul McCartney is so totally over marijuana, you guys

In case you were wondering, Sir Paul McCartney will not be kicking back with fat one anytime soon, as the former Beatle — and now a father and a grandfather — has gone off pot for good, he tells the Daily Mirror. “I don’t do it anymore. Why? The truth is I don’t really want to set an example to my kids and grandkids. It’s now a parent thing,” he says. “Back then I was just some guy around London having a ball, and the kids were little so I’d just try and keep it out of their faces. Instead of smoking a spliff, I’ll now have a glass of red wine or a nice margarita. The last time I smoked was a long time ago.”

Come to think of it, a nice margarita doesn’t sound so bad right now. All of this reminds me of my favorite bit of rock and roll trivia: Did you know that McCartney actually gave Keith Richards his first joint? It turns out that early on, the rough-and-tumble Rolling Stones were actually pretty nice boys, while the squeaky-clean Beatles were the real troublemakers. Wrap your head around that one.
