From "The Agitator" blog - Successful Pot Smokers: Let's Make A List (https://www.theagitator.com/2008/11/07/successful-pot-smokers-lets-make-a-list/)

https://www.rpriddle.com/webpix/anim_weedglobe.gifAn intriguing list being made in response to a recent ad campaign from the Office Of National Drug Control Policy, with the motto, “Hey, not trying to be your mom, but there aren’t many jobs out there for potheads.” I encourage anyone who may be interested to particularly check out the reply comments by the blog's readers.

And let's not forget the late great Carl Sagan. After his death, it was revealed that he had smoked pot "billyuns and billyuns" of times. He praised pot for its inspirational effects, saying that on one occasion he got really blasted and wrote four articles in one day!

It's just too bad that guys like him don't come out of the closet while they're alive, to fight anti-pothead bigotry.

Oh wowwwww;
