Cannabis has been used for its entheogenic, recreational, and therapeutic properties for thousands of years. Its medicinal properties have been extensively researched and documented. Cannabis has been shown to be effective as a medicine for a variety of symptoms and ailments. Cannabis has, to some extent, always been a part of pop culture. For instance, jazz and marijuana have always seemed to be intertwined, with famous jazz singers such as Louis Armstrong and Billy Holiday having emphasized its benefits. Marijuana is now a topic of global discussion among many groups of people, including its users, doctors, students, and businesspeople, as a result of the lifting of its prohibition in many jurisdictions. Here are 20 quotes about marijuana from some of its proponents. “Why is it that we in Kenya are still stuck in the old ways of saying this is an illegal drug? If it’s also good to reduce pain for cancer patients, why not legalize it? What is so bad about it?" — Ledama Ole Kina “First place it’s a thousand times better than whiskey... It’s an Assistant – a friend a nice cheap drunk if you want to call it that... Good (very good) for Asthma – relaxes your nerves…” — Louis Armstrong “We always looked at pot as a sort of medicine, a cheap drunk and with much better thoughts than one that’s full of liquor.”— Louis Armstrong “Marijuana... That's not a drug, that's a plant.” — Arnold Schwarzenegger “Herb is the healing of the nation, alcohol is the destruction.” — Bob Marley “Music and herb go together. It's been a long time now I smoke herb. From 1960's, when I first start singing.” — Bob Marley “Legalize it, and I will advertise it.” — Peter Tosh “Some of my finest hours have been spent on my back veranda, smoking hemp and observing as far as my eye can see.” — Thomas Jefferson “I'd definitely attend a marijuana legalization rally if I wasn't too stoned to leave my apartment.” — Vybz Kartel “I don’t think pot is more dangerous than alcohol.”— Barack Obama “Weed is made on the earth.

Stay above the wicked and fly.” — Snoop Dogg “Will I, succeed, paranoid from the weed and hocus pocus, try to focus but I can't see.” — Tupac Shakur “Well, the first two days in prison, I had to go through what life is like when you've been smoking weed for as long as I have and then you stop. Emotionally, it was like I didn't know myself.” — Tupac Shakur “If somebody gives me a joint, I might smoke it, but I don’t go after it.” — John Lennon “Why is marijuana against the law? It grows naturally upon our planet. Doesn’t the idea of making nature against the law seem to you a bit… unnatural?” — Bill Hicks “Federal and state laws (should) be changed to no longer make it a crime to possess marijuana for private use.” — Richard Nixon “Is marijuana addictive? Yes, in the sense that most of the really pleasant things in life are worth endlessly repeating.” — Richard Neville “If you ain’t got a good job and you ain’t smokin’ weed, then I don't know what the fuck you are doin’ wit your life.” — Katt Williams “I hope they legalize marijuana and when they do I’ll be the first fucking person in line to buy my pack of joints.” — Megan Fox The Leafy Lover!
