Megan Fox Stands Behind Her Marijuana Position
June 18th, 2009 by RickLike hungry mosquitos sensing fresh blood, reporters were buzzing at a London press conference about Megan Fox and her recent comments she made in GQ magazine about smoking marijuana.
Fox said:
I wouldn’t call it recreational drug use… that makes me sound like I’m going into clubs and using cocaine. [...] I talked about the legalization of marijuana, which I think in the United States it should be. [...] If alcohol is legal, I just think marijuana should be, that’s all.
Fox also mentioned that it’s a toss up between being candid and tight lipped when it comes to interviewing:
I feel like I have the best intentions when I do these interviews and when I speak the way that I do, but it’s unfortunate when journalists choose to knowingly twist the meaning of my words. [...] And that discourages me from being outspoken and honest, but it’s something I want to do. I hate reading or watching bullshit interviews, and watching these things that have been created and presented to you on television, that are fake or manufactured. I am trying not to be one of those.
Regardless of what she says in the interviews, it definitely adds more publicity for Fox and her upcoming film, Transformers: Revenge Of The Fallen, which opens June 19 of this year.
Megan Fox: “Legalize Weed”

Another celebrity has come out for the marijuana legalization movement. Hollywood hottie, Megan Fox told British GQ Magazine:
I can’t tell you how much bullshit I’ve been through because I will openly say that I smoke weed. People look at it like it’s this crazy, hippy, (jacked)-up thing to do. And it’s not. I hope they legalize it. [...] And when they do, I’ll be the first person in line to buy my pack of joints.
Say marijuana was legalized and big tobacco or big pharma got their grubby claws on it, then plan on it being less than affordable since the government loves to tax and eventually the state would likely follow their lead. Just like the days of bootlegging during prohibition, it will still be grown by people that would wind up selling it on the black market for less than what you pay at stores or pharmacies.
As long as marijuana equates to some form of currency, it will be a never ending cycle. After all, you can start your own microbrew in the comfort of your home even though most of the alcohol we generally consume are sold in stores and taxed. Would we be able to grow our own plants and do the very same with marijuana?
