MONTREAL (AP) - Beatle
John Lennon, recently convicted
of possessing marijuana, says
he's through with the stuff be-
cause it "interferes with my
mind.”
"I don’t regret anything I've
done,” he told newsmen. "It’s
just that I get my best high now
on brown rice.” Rice with the
hulls on is brown.
Lennon and his wife, Yoko,
were granted a 10-day stay in
Canada by immigration officials
Monday and a hearing was be-
gun in Toronto to weigh their re-
quest for a longer stay. The
marijuana conviction was the
issue.
Mr. and Mrs. Lennon plan a
one week "lie-in” demonstration
for peace while awaiting the
verdict. They have invited
Prime Minister Pierre Elliott
Trudeau to join them during the
. seven days in bed.
