These days the hard drugs are gone, but he continues – against the Hollywood grain – to smoke cannabis. ‘I don’t tend to say this publicly, but we can see it’s a curative thing. The narcotics industry is also enormous. It funds terrorism and – this is a huge problem in America – fuels the foreign gangs. More than 85 per cent of men incarcerated in America are on drug-related offences. It costs $40,000 a year for every prisoner. If they were really serious about the economy there would be a sensible discussion about legalisation.’

Do this instead.
No, thanks. l got some store-bought here of my own.
No, man. This is grass.
You mean, marijuana? Lord have mercy! ls that what that is? Let me see that.
Go ahead. Light it up.
Oh, no, no, no... ...l couldn't do that. l've got enough problems... ...with the booze and all. l can't afford to get hooked.
You won't get hooked.
Well, l know. But it leads to harder stuff. You say it's all right? Well, all right then. How do l do it?
Here.
That's got a real nice taste to it. Though l don't suppose it'll do me much good. l'm so used to the booze...
You've got to hold it in your lungs longer...

Quote:
On the day I interviewed Jack Nicholson, the only cigarettes he smoked had brand names on them. But on the coffee table and the sofa were those familiar-looking little packets of cigarette paper that are used for “rolling your own.” There was a time-not long ago-when Jack was so heavily into smoking marijuana that he even “turned on” during interviews and while he was in front of the camera making movies…
“I started smoking pot about 18 years ago,” Jack revealed. “I’m what you call a social smoker. I turn on with people for fun-but I can also go for months at a time now without even thinking about it.” Nicholson thinks marijuana should be legalized all over the United States. He supported-both personally and financially -the movement that led to the decriminalizing of smoking pot “socially” as he calls it. “It’s insane to have laws that are making criminals out of such a huge percentage of our population, particularly when it’s merely something that involves morality…”
“I also think it’s wrong for the U.S. Government to intentionally put out some of the propaganda that federal agencies have published in the past. At one time the government used your tax dollars to put out a pamphlet saying that marijuana smoking would lead to murder and insanity…” the footer:
NOTE: PHOTOPLAY would like to emphasize that it does not approve of drugs and advises its readers not to fool around with them. They may sound glamorous in some cases-but they can cause lasting damage and even death.
