2. Stephen Jay Gould

Named a “Living Legend” by the U.S. Library of Congress in 2000, Stephen Ray Gould was a paleontologist, evolutionary biologist and historian of science credited with bringing evolution to a national audience, becoming heavily involved in pop culture through the ’80s and ’90s. And he was one of the smartest pot smokers who ever lived.

Gould began smoking marijuana after being diagnosed with incurable abdominal mesothelioma; with a diagnosis of eight months left to live, he made it another 20 years and became a big advocate of medical marijuana and ending the global drug war.

  • Francis Crick, when he stated that “In my view, cannabis is not a dangerous drug, and is certainly no worse than the combination of alcohol and tobacco,” clearly intended to say that cannabis is not very harmful, however, actually, he greatly overestimated the potential for harm from cannabis! Actually, almost no medical conditions (and none serious), nor violence nor traffic accidents have ever been proven to be caused by cannabis use. EVER (and not for want of trying).

    The truth is, cannabis use is not nearly as harmful as "the combination of alcohol and tobacco," in fact, it is MUCH, MUCH less dangerous than either one.
