Throughout history, cannabis has sparked inspiration, contemplation, and plenty of quotable moments. From insightful observations about its effects to outright celebrations of its awesomeness, ganja has found its way into the words of many. As vaping has become an increasingly popular way to enjoy our favourite plant, celebrities and influential figures have chimed in.
At StoneSmith's office we joke around with them all the time, so we wanted to share some with all of you.
From very wise and literate quote to everyday sayings, here they are:
- Bob Marley: "Herb is the healing of a nation, alcohol is the destruction."
Did you know Carl Sagan wrote an anonymous essay on marijuana, and eloquently described the enhanced sensory experiences it could bring? 😲🌿 Check the next quote!
-
Carl Sagan: "The illegality of cannabis is outrageous, an impediment to full utilization of a drug which helps produce the serenity and insight, sensitivity, and fellowship so desperately needed in this increasingly mad and dangerous world."
-
Willie Nelson: "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?"
-
Arnold Schwarzenegger: "That is not a drug, it's a leaf."
-
Morgan Freeman: "Marijuana prohibition is just the stupidest law possible... Just legalize it and tax it like we do liquor."
-
Joe Rogan: "People say you can abuse marijuana. Well shit, you can abuse cheeseburgers too, you know? You don't go around closing Burger King because you can abuse something."
- Kid Cudi: "Struggle is the enemy, but weed is the remedy."
As things evolve, it's no surprise that celebrities have been open about their cannabis use:
-
Megan Fox: "I hope they legalize marijuana and when they do I'll be the first f***ing person in line to buy my pack of joints."
-
Snoop Dogg: "So what if I'm smoking weed onstage and doing what I gotta do? It's not me shooting nobody, stabbing nobody, killing nobody. It's a peaceful gesture and they have to respect that and appreciate that."
- Hunter S. Thompson: "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."
These words remind us that the appreciation for cannabis goes beyond just getting high; it's often tied to creativity, relaxation, and a sense of connection.
In tribute to our great leaf and all of these wise people, stay high!
