20 Aug 2010 - Doug Benson’s popularity is at an all-time high.
The star of the “Super High Me” documentary and creator/writer/star of “The Marijuana-Logues” is a hit with nonsmokers; he’s been a finalist on NBC’s “Last Comic Standing” and a regular on VH1’s “Best Week Ever.”
But he’s best known for his cannabis comedy and not at all afraid to admit it. "I have to have a pen nearby whenever I smoke pot, because I’m going to come up with some stuff I have to write down. It might not all be great, some of it might be nonsense, but weed always helps me come up with some gems."
19 July 2010 - Famous Ghanese actor Olumide Bakare revealed that he smoked cannabis during his teenage years. “I have been smoking Mariajuna since I was 15 years old, through my Secondary school days and the University, even till I joined NTA and became a television star. I had some friends who were military guys, then, cocaine was the game of the boys. Let me just confess to you that, what drove me into smoking hemp and other things was because I couldn't help it, coupled with the fame I have achieved then.”
4 Aug 2010 - The "In Treatment" actor talked about smoking cannabis: "I went through a period of drinking, doing drugs, when I thought that was the answer to everything. I never snorted cocaine or took heroin but I smoked marijuana and it gave me a perception, which I thought was real, true. But now I realise you can get to that heightened state of consciousness without drugs."
11 June 2010 - In a recent interview for the Japan Times, Jeff Bridges talks about his new upcoming movie "TRON: Legacy," a sequel from "TRON" which he played in 1982. In the movie the actor played a caracter trapped inside a video game. Bridges says, "When I made 'TRON,' the idea of being stuck in a video game was pretty wild. It was total fiction. But today, it seems like a lot of kids are stuck inside computers. I have one grandkid who . . . well, anyway, if I had to get trapped inside something, I'd rather it be a guitar or even a temporary marijuana haze than in a video game, and certainly not in a computer."
