Some of the best quotes on the subject of cannabis that have surfaced over recent years, featuring quotes from some of the worlds greatest minds:
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.
~Carl Sagan
I think pot should be legal. I don’t smoke it, but I like the smell of it.
~Andy Warhol
When I was a kid I inhaled frequently. That was the point.
~Barack Obama
Hemp is of first necessity to the wealth & protection of the country.
~Thomas Jefferson
If the words “life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness” don’t include the right to experiment with your own consciousness, then the Declaration of Independence isn’t worth the hemp it was written on.
~Terence McKenna
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, mid-evening 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.
~Steve Martin
Penalties against possession of a drug should not be more damaging to an individual than the use of the drug itself; and where they are, they should be changed. Nowhere is this more clear than in the laws against possession of marijuana in private for personal use… Therefore, I support legislation amending Federal law to eliminate all Federal criminal penalties for the possession of up to one ounce of marijuana.
~Jimmy Carter
