Bill Murray Says AWESOME Things About Weed, SUPPORTS LEGALIZATION

[Segami]

I love this photo!.......




Surprised?

Neither are we, but its always nice to see one of Hollywood’s most beloved and eccentric personalities come out of hiding to speak with the public. Murray took a break from his cryptic and occasionally abusive (Murray is known for wrestling fans to the ground, looking them deep in the eyes and whispering “no one is ever going to believe this happened to you”) interactions with his fan base for an Ask Me Anything segment with Reddit.com.


When asked “How do you feel about recreational marijuana?” Murray supplied this coy, diplomatic answer rather than share his own experiences, of which we are sure there are many.



Here’s what he had to say during his AMA with Reddit:

Well that’s a large question, isn’t it? Because you’re talking about recreation, which everyone is in favor of. You are also talking about something that has been illegal for so many years, and marijuana is responsible for such a large part of the prison population, for the crime of self-medication. And it takes millions and billions of dollars by incarcerating people for this crime against oneself as best can be determined.


People are realizing that the war on drugs is a failure, that with the amount of money spent, you could have bought all the drugs with that much money rather than create this army of incarcerated people. I think the terror of marijuana was probably overstated. I don’t think people are really concerned about it the way they once were. Now that we have crack and crystal and whatnot, people don’t even think about marijuana anymore, it’s like someone watching too many video games in comparison.
The fact that states are passing laws allowing it means that this threat has been over-exagerated. Psychologists recommend smoking marijuana rather than drinking if you are in a stressful situation. These are ancient remedies, alcohol and smoking, and they only started passing laws against them 100 years ago.”
