Elton John says legalizing marijuana in US is 'one of the greatest mistakes' ever Elton John does not think marijuana legalization is iconic. Time's Icon of the Year spoke out against legalizing weed in an interview published Wednesday for his newly minted honor. "I maintain that it’s addictive. It leads to other drugs. 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," he told Time. In 2012, Colorado and Washington became the first U.S. states to legalize marijuana for recreational use. Time noted that John "has helped many people kick drugs and has offered to help many more," citing how "he is Eminem’s sponsor" and how "he orchestrated English pop star Robbie Williams’ first stint in rehab." https://www.usatoday.com/story/entertainment/celebrities/2024/12/13/elton-john-calls-marijuana-legalization-mistake/76966700007/
