"When you smoke weed, it opens you up to itself" - Bob Marley. Musician, activist.

Of all the insight and wisdom that came to us, Bob Marley appreciated the grass so much. For Marley, it was a way to touch spirituality, it was his way of life, a way to be creative, to know himself and the world around him.

"Squeeze the maximum out of the seeds of Indian hemp and sow all the voids with them" - George Washington, the first president of the United States.

The father of the USA left his post, reminding his successors of the generosity of the potential of cannabis. It's a pity we didn't follow this piece of infinite wisdom.

"Of course I know how to twist a joint" - Martha Stewart. TV presenter, writer, business professional.

The Renaissance woman, as she is called, Martha Stewart, can make a blunt out of napkins that were lying around at hand. Well, of course, it's the same.. Martha Stewart.

"Stop wetting each other, let's just smoke a joint" - Tupac Shakur, rapper, actor.

If only people would listen to these tips..

"If the words "life, freedom, the pursuit of happiness" do not include the right to experiment with one's own consciousness, then the Declaration of Independence is not worth the cannabis on which it was written" - Terence McKenna. Ethnobotanist, mystic, psychonaut, lecturer, author, supporter of psychedelic drugs.

Terence raised and published a huge number of quotes about cannabis. However, this quote also captured the Declaration of Independence. There is evidence to state that this document, in fact, was not written on cannabis (and how I would like to believe!), but regardless of this, it is difficult to argue with Terence's statement.

"I think weed should be legal. I don't smoke, but I love the smell" - Andy Warhol. Artist

Even if he didn't smoke, but the remark in general is very good.

"Alcohol and marijuana.. If they are used correctly, well, in moderation, plus loud, usually low-quality music, they turn stress and boredom into a much more tolerable occupation" - Kurt Vonnegut. Writer.

Vonnegut describes here an ideal night for most people who create in closed rooms. A little weed, something to sip out of boredom, the same whiskey, a little simple music, such that it does not carry a deep meaning, but rather just plays in the background. An ingenious formula to create something truly great!

"The state of marijuana is always very existential. You can feel the importance of each moment and how this moment is changing. A person feels like a person, feels a huge apparatus of non-existence, like a hum, emptiness. How worthlessness and emptiness in each of us attacks the essence of others, how our essence attacks the emptiness in the third" - Norman Mailer. Writer, journalist, playwright, film director, actor and political candidate.

This quote says not that there are difficulties in the world, but that the most important thing that marijuana can give is knowledge.

"Why cut down forests that take centuries to germinate? Why drill mines for centuries, sweat and blood? After all, we can get the equivalent of forest and mineral products just by sowing cannabis annually" - Henry Ford, founder of Ford.

Amen, Mr. Ford! By the way, our talented Henry Ford created a car whose body was made of hemp and which drove on eco-fuel from hemp. It's a pity that we end up with no cannabis, no great hemp cars.

"Instead of eating pills from five or six prescriptions, I followed the natural path, started smoking marijuana" - Melissa Etheridge. Musician, owner of a cannabis business.

When Melissa was fighting cancer, she had to make a very important decision, either to take the prescribed painkillers, of which there was a whole list or.. start lighting up. Moreover, this talented musician also used her new habit for the benefit and, she managed to open her own business in the sphere. If it doesn't motivate, then what should?

"Marijuana has killed fewer people than swimming pools. All violence comes from the desire to fight it" - Lawrence Reed, President of the Foundation for Economic Education.

It's true. No one has died from marijuana yet, although we are not experts in the number of deaths in the pool.

"It really puzzles me why marijuana is associated with drugs, surfactants, all this. It's a thousand times better than whiskey. This is an assistant and a friend" - Louis Armstrong, musician.

This is probably one of the most honest quotes about MJ. Of course, weed serves as an assistant, as a lover, therapist, medicine, and most importantly, for most, as the most faithful, true friend.

"I find it ironic that the most dangerous thing about weed is the time for it" - Bill Murray. Actor, comedian.

Bill Murray may be intending to give the world another witty quote in his performance. Of all the funniest quotes, perhaps this one is worth saluting. A sentence for weed is the worst thing that can happen.

"The legalization of marijuana is not a dangerous experiment at all. The ban is an experiment, and it failed abruptly, with millions of victims around the world" - Sebastian Marincolo. Writer, philosopher, activist MJ.

Although Sebastian is known for his quotes about weed, this quote is with claims. Turning it over, Marinkola says what everyone has been wanting to say for a long time: "legalize weed at last."

"... The consciousness of marijuana is what shifts the focus of attention away from the usual shallow, purely verbal guidelines and repetitive second-hand ideological interpretations of experience, to a more direct, slow and comprehensive, sometimes microscopically detailed interaction with sensitive phenomena" - Allen Ginsberg. Writer, activist

Yes, Ginsberg likes to chat, but his ideas are not that complicated. Simply put, MJ helps digest knowledge. He stands for direct experience, everything that can be achieved is easier to achieve with weed.

"Heavenly dreaminess comes to them, to each in turn, then everyone starts walking in the sky. Everything is calm and beautiful for them: no pain, no care, no fear of anything, and while it lasts, you feel like an angel, half asleep" - Louise May Alcott. Writer.

In her work, Louise comes up with a scene where a woman indulges in hashish. Very lyrical reading, by the way.

"Is marijuana addictive? Yes, in the sense that most of the really pleasant things in life can be repeated endlessly" - Richard Neville. Writer, former editor of OZ magazine.

Are there marijuana addicts? It sounds ridiculous, of course, but it's about moderate use.

"Intoxication makes the mind more liberated and does it for free. The task is to use the power of the free mind" - Talan Ghosh. Writer.

Marijuana doesn't fry brains. As Talan Ghosh works with his truisms, marijuana works with the head, allowing you to learn to control your mind.

"I was fascinated by the fact that a person can have such perceptual changes. I am an atheist, but when it happened, I couldn't help but think that it was the hand of God" - Oliver Sacks. Doctor, Professor of Neurology

Quotes about MJ often refer to the spiritual experience that the plant gives. Even atheists like Sachs compare the experience of weed with something divine. It remains to answer the question: "If there is a God, then did he give us the weed?"

"I've always loved marijuana. This is a source of joy and comfort for me for many years. And I still think of it as the most important product in a person's life, along with beer, ice and grapefruits. Millions of Americans will agree with me" - Hunter S. Thompson. Writer.

Finally, marijuana is on the level of other simple pleasures - beer and grapefruits. Oh, you could still buy it right at the grocery store..

"When I was a kid, I used to smoke a lot. It had its own meaning" - Barack Obama, the 44th President of the United States.

Here Obama casts a shadow on former President Bill Clinton that he "never smoked." It looks like Obama can now take Bill aside and show him where the adventure trail leads.

"Well, Stan, the truth is that marijuana won't make you kill people, and most likely it won't finance terrorism, but, son, weed makes you feel good when you're bored, and when you're bored, you have to learn some new skill or discover some new science, in general, be creative. If you smoke weed, you can grow up and know that you are bad at everything" - Randy Marsh.

Of course, Stan Marsh from the South Park show is not a real person. But this advice, even in cartoon form, can be the most gentle, sweet, honest and humorous of all the advice a father can give his son.

"She's not a drug addict. That thing on her neck is a vase. In any case, I am for legalization. After all, why should surrealism be illegal?" - Jarod Kintz, novelist.

Some strains of weed can really let the brain wander. This surreal novelist leaves no chance when it comes to discussing "weed." Marijuana feeds creativity, taking thinking beyond the usual boundaries.

"People say that you abuse marijuana. Dude, you're abusing cheeseburgers. But you don't walk around Burger King until it closes because you're abusing something" - Joe Rogan. Comedian.

Funny? Yes. But not only is it funny, Joe also played well on the wisdom of his statement. By the way, the abuse of weed is better than daily fast food and grinding with beer.
