Morgan Freeman also Wants Marijuana Legalised

A few countries in the world, most famously The Netherlands, have already taken this step. Some states of the US also allow for the medicinal use of marijuana.

It’s a constant lobbying battle, and Morgan Freeman has added his voice. The veteran actor has called for the across board legalisation of the drug he takes for pain relief, according to the BBC.

“It has many useful uses. I have fibromyalgia pain in this arm, and the only thing that offers any relief is marijuana”

Freeman was in a car crash in 2008, which required four hours of surgery to repair the nerves in his arm. He still hasn’t regained full use of his left hand, and is in constant pain which weed helps subside.

“They’re talking about kids who have grand mal seizures, and they’ve discovered that marijuana eases that down to where these children can have a life. That right there, to me, says legalise it across the board.”
