3. Bill Gates
A man who needs no introduction, Bill Gates is one of the smartest pot smokers who has ever graced the planet. He built up Microsoft at the same time Steve Jobs was building Apple, so it’s only fitting the two men of the same era have similar feelings regarding weed.
Gates voted for legalization in Washington, his home state, and this year, Microsoft partnered with a software company that tracks the cannabis industry, the “first time a major American company put its money behind legal weed.”
Kary Mullis died in 2019 (of pneumonia).
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.
