Quotations

An early, prominent use of the term in reference to hogging a joint (marijuana cigarette) appeared in the lyrics of the song “Don’t Bogart Me” by the American band Fraternity of Man. The song was released on LP in 1968, and subsequently used in the 1969 film Easy Rider. In 1978, Little Feat's widely celebrated live album Waiting For Columbus included a song entitled “Don't Bogart That Joint”. In the Television series "The Mentalist" (Season 5, Episode 10), Patrick Jane, a consultant with the "CBI," informs a tobacco company that "someone bogarted your stash" of Marijuana.
