5. Lester Grinspoon

High Times

Of all the scientists who smoke weed, Lester Grinspoon showed a real commitment to the plant and his work. As a psychiatry professor at Harvard, Grinspoon released his book Marihuana Reconsidered in 1971.

His work concluded that marijuana was not harmful but helpful to people who use it especially medicinally. Only 42 years old at the time, the scientist had not yet tried bud himself.

He worried his research would be called subjective if the scientific community thought he already smoked weed. So Grinspoon passed on puffing on the pipe until two years after publishing.

It’s fair to say the guy earned that first hit!
