Peter Fonda: We Smoked ‘Real Pot’ Making Easy Rider
Published by MoonDog on November 3, 2009
Actor Peter Fonda has admitted that he and fellow cast mates Jack Nicholson and Dennis Hopper smoked marijuana when making the film Easy Rider.
Fonda and Hopper co-wrote the 1969 classic that chronicles two bikers traveling the southwest in search of freedom. The film was added to the Library of Congress National Registry in 1998.
Nicholson, who portrays ACLU lawyer George Hanson, has never smoked marijuana. Fonda, who plays Wyatt, and Hopper, who plays Billy, introduce George to the drug one night while camping out.
George is reluctant to try the marijuana (”It leads to harder stuff”), but he quickly relents.
Fonda has confessed the trio used “real pot” to capture the moment when Nicholson’s character tries the drug for the first time.
But he refutes longstanding rumors they took LSD on the set while filming the movie.
Fonda says: “We did not take LSD, no matter what the rumors say. You can’t make a movie when you’re ripped like that.”
Watch the scene from Easy Rider as Nicholson, Fonda and Hopper sit around a camp fire, smoke weed and discuss UFO’s.
