Celebrities Supporting Legalization of Marijuana January 7
One of the much-talked about topics in 2009 was the push to legalize marijuana. Some of our readers shared their views and opinions on the issue last year, and there were quite a number who expressed their support of the legislation.
Now, here are some famous people who, in one way or another, expressed support to the legalization of marijuana.
Jack Black. The star admitted to drug use, and recounted trying acid and cocaine in the ninth grade. He is said to still smoke pot occasionally, and is on the Marijuana Policy Project (MPP) Advisory Board.
Jack Nicholson. Jack Nicholson is another celebrity who supports pot. He was quoted with the following statement: “My point of view, while extremely cogent, is unpopular… That the repressive nature of the legalities vis-a-vis drugs are destroying the legal system and corrupting the police system.”
Jennifer Aniston. Ask people who their favorite Friend is, and quite a number of them will probably say Rachel Green, the character made popular by Jennifer Aniston. She was said to have admitted to sharing a smoke with former husband Brad Pitt and that she still enjoy it “once in a while – there is nothing wrong with that”.
Brad Pitt. The hunky actor is known to support marijuana publicly, and was said to have smoked on the set of several of his movies – although he seems to have stopped already.
Jesse Ventura. The former Governor of Minnesota is part of the MPP Advisory Board. His support for the use of medical marijuana is reportedly surpassed by his support of the complete legalization of marijuana.
Johnny Depp. The talented actor expressed quite interesting opinions about drugs and their use, and has received criticism for his views. He is not known to be the type who will care much about what other people think, though, and he supports the legalization of marijuana.

Penn & Teller should be on that list. They did an entire 30-minute documentary supporting legalization and lampooning the war on drugs.
