I used to smoke marijuana. But I’ll tell you something: I would only smoke it in the late evening. Oh, occasionally the early evening, but usually the late evening – or the mid-evening. Just the early evening, midevening and late evening. Occasionally, early afternoon, early mid-afternoon, or perhaps the late-mid-afternoon. Oh, sometimes the early-mid-late-early morning. But never at dusk!

I do have a plan for the country [the USA]. It needs education. And there should be drug education – only people should be taught how to smoke pot, because even potheads don’t know how to smoke pot. I’ve evolved into not only an activist, but an educator. I want to show people how, when, and why they should smoke pot.

Tommy Chong, Comedian

Why is marijuana against the law? It grows naturally upon our planet. Doesn’t the idea of making nature against the law seem to you a bit … unnatural?

Authors Pothead quotes

I was a big pothead for a short period. That was what ticked me off that I shouldn’t go near hard drugs, actually, because I would consume the stuff as if it was going out of style and it rapidly occurred to me that if I ever tried a hard drug, the same thing would happen, so I never did.

Clive James, Author

Of course I know how to roll a joint.

Martha Stewart, Writer, TV Personality, Business Woman

I think that marijuana should not only be legal, I think it should be a cottage industry. It would be wonderful for the state of Maine. There’s some pretty good homegrown dope. I’m sure it would be even better if you could grow it with fertilizers and have greenhouses.

Stephen King, Contemporary Horror and Suspense

Hashish will be, indeed, for the impressions and familiar thoughts of the man, a mirror which magnifies, yet no more than a mirror.

Charles Baudelaire /French Poet

I have used cannabis all over the world.

Rick Steves, Travel Author, TV Personality

One’s condition on marijuana is always existential. One can feel the importance of each moment and how it is changing one. One feels one’s being, one becomes aware of the enormous apparatus of nothingness — the hum of a hi-fi set, the emptiness of a pointless interruption, one becomes aware of the war between each of us, how the nothingness in each of us seeks to attack the being of others, how our being in turn is attacked by the nothingness in others.

Norman Mailer, Novelist, Journalist, Playwright, Film Maker, Actor and Political Candidate

Rusty thinks I should smoke marijuana, and I did for a while, but it only makes me giggle.

Marijuana is a useful catalyst for specific optical and aural aesthetic perceptions. I apprehended the structure of certain pieces of jazz and classical music in a new manner under the influence of marijuana, and these apprehensions have remained valid in years of normal consciousness.

Allen Ginsberg, American Poet

I have always loved marijuana. It has been a source of joy and comfort to me for many years. And I still think of it as a basic staple of life, along with beer and ice and grapefruits -and millions of Americans agree with me.

Hunter S. Thompson, Journalist, Novelist

Musicians Pothead quotes

I think people need to be educated to the fact that marijuana is not a drug. Marijuana is an herb and a flower. God put it here. If He put it here and He wants it to grow, what gives the government the right to say that God is wrong?

Willie Nelson, Musician, Writer, Actor, Activist

When you smoke the herb, it reveals you to yourself.

Actors Pothead quotes

We smoked a lot of weed together [with Seth Rogen and Jason Segel]. Lonely potheads will literally spend every day with each other until they get a girlfriend. That’s essentially what happened.

David Krumholtz, Actor

I’m not a great pothead or anything like that… but weed is much, much less dangerous than alcohol.

Matt Damon /Actor, Writer, Producer

Athletes

I engaged in behavior which was regrettable and demonstrated bad judgment. I’m 23 years old, and despite the successes I have had in the pool, I acted in a youthful and inappropriate way, not in a manner that people have come to expect from me.

Michael Phelps, Olympic Swimmer

I don’t really care who’s doing drugs in the NBA as long as the scene isn’t adversely affecting my team and teammates. I’ve known enough drug users–going as far back as grade school and the streets of New York–not to view them as pariahs or lost souls. I’ve certainly smoked more than my quota of weed.

Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Center for L.A. Lakers

For the record, right now, I think someone needed to come out and say it: I think smoking pot is good for mixed martial artists. It’s a new day and age, this is, uh, the year…fuck year is it? I don’t know, because I’ve been training and smoking pot like I should, instead of paying attention to other bullshit, which I don’t do.

Nick Diaz, MMA Fighter

I have had fun throughout my years and, you know, predominantly in the offseason.

Randy Moss, Wide Receiver for San Francisco 49ers

Why do I do it? Because I enjoy its effects. You know, I — why does anybody use any mind-altering substance, you know, because they like the way it makes them feel.
