From "The Agitator" blog - Successful Pot Smokers: Let's Make A List

An 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.

A small partial list of successful potheads:

Barack Obama, president-elect. Bill Clinton, 42nd president of the U.S. John Kerry, U.S. Senator and 2004 Democratic nominee for president. John Edwards, multi-millionaire, former U.S. Senator, and 2004 Democratic nominee for vice president. Sarah Palin, governor of Alaska, 2008 Republican nominee for vice president. British Home Secretary Jacqui Smith, Transport Secretary Ruth Kelly, and and Chancellor Alistair Darling. Josh Howard, NBA all-star. New York Governor David Paterson. Former Vice President, Nobel Peace Prize winner, and Oscar winner Al Gore. Former Sen. Bill Bradley, who smoked while playing professional basketball. Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas, former Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich, and former New York Governor George Pataki. Billionaire and New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg, etc.

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;
