Why Elton John Calls the Legalization of Marijuana ‘One of the Greatest Mistakes of All Time’

[Retired]

The music icon says he believes it’s “addictive” and “leads to other drugs”​

Elton John criticized the legalization of marijuana, saying it’s “addictive” and impairs cognitive thinking.

“I maintain that it’s addictive. It leads to other drugs,” John, who was named Icon of the Year by Time Magazine, told the outlet. “And when you’re stoned — and I’ve been stoned — you don’t think normally. Legalizing marijuana in America and Canada is one of the greatest mistakes of all time.”

John, 77, looked back on his own experiences with drugs, saying that cocaine was his drug of choice after being introduced to the narcotic by former manager and lover John Reid. Following the death of his friend Ryan White, who contracted AIDS from a blood transfusion, John checked into Chicago’s Parkside Lutheran Hospital on July 29, 1990 — and has remained sober ever since.

Elton John's journey to coming out as gay was complex, and included:
1969: Ended his engagement to Linda Woodrow, his first girlfriend, two weeks before their wedding
1970: Began a gay affair with his manager, John Reid
1976: Came out as bisexual in a Rolling Stone interview
1992: Told Rolling Stone that he was "comfortable being gay"
2005: Entered a civil partnership with David Furnish, his long-term partner
2014: Married Furnish when same-sex marriage became legal in England and Wales
John has said that he realized he was gay at age 23. He has also said that he's proud of being gay and that he wouldn't have had the life he's had if he hadn't been gay.

Tokea sasa usinywe maji tu lakini tumia mvinyo kidogo, kwa ajili ya tumbo lako, na magonjwa yakupatayo mara kwa mara.
