Elijah Wood talks marijuana

Elijah Wood thinks marijuana should be legalised.

The 30-year-old actor says he doesn’t smoke it, but believes that use of the “harmless” drug should not be illegal.

“I think the whole notion that marijuana is illegal is past the point of ridiculousness. It seems a little silly to be uptight about something that’s so natural,” he said.

“To be honest, I’m not really much of a pot smoker – it never really sat well with me. I’ve got friends that smoke and have smoked for years. I’ve always wished I could achieve that comfort and tolerance, but I have no tolerance for it whatsoever.

“But I’ve always been an advocate. I just feel it should be decriminalized. We’re spending taxpayers’ money on putting people away for something so harmless.”
