SMASH MOUTH SINGER: `I USED TO STEAL POT'

NEW YORK (Wireless Flash) -- Smash Mouth lead singer Steve Harwell may sing "Walkin' On The Sun" but he was once running from the law. According to the upcoming "High Times" magazine, Harwell says that before Smash Mouth became stars, he and drummer Kevin Coleman would raid pot gardens in San Francisco and sell the stolen weed. Harwell isn't proud of his pot pilfering, but says he was "young and dumb." However, he justifies his thievery by saying he sold the pot at a cheaper price than the actual grower would have. These days, Harwell claims he no longer uses the wacky weed because it makes him paranoid.
