"I have a different outlook on marijuana than America does. I've never been a major smoker, but I think America's view on weed is ridiculous. I mean, are you kidding me? If everyone smoked weed, the world would be a better place."

- Kirsten Dunst, in the new book Pot Culture: The A-Z Guide to Stoner Language and Life

    Pot is not for everyone. I know people who get bitchy and downright abusive when they are stoned, or coming down from being stoned.

  26. Kat says – reply to this


    26

    OOh, big deal. I agree with her quote — it isn't like she's saying that Heroin or Coke make the world a better place.

    And by the way, you MUST have read Adrienne Curry's blog… you're such a fuck, Perez.

  27. superjesus says – reply to this


    27

    This is Super Jesus, I gave you all weed to chill the fuck out. Maybe, you should smoke it, then you wouldn't be in violent wars with each other.

    32

    Does she not have any idea of the disastrous pyschological effects it has on people???!! Some people right now will be looking up to her and copy her. NOT GOOD!

  33. ginnipher says – reply to this


    33

    she's right.
    i mean, look at all of the "gatherings" held on 4/20. in some places there were upwards of 10,000 PEOPLE there and not ONE report of violence or injury or arrest.
    the world WOULD be a better place if marijuana were legal.
    prescription drug use would decrease as well as violence.
    what's wrong w/that???

  34. Hello Kitty says – reply to this


    34

    Like your ass is hosting Tea Parties.

  35. Matthew says – reply to this


    35

    I FULLY SUPPORT HER VIEWS AND COMPLETELY AGREE. People just need to chill out. I mean, seriously, who goes to rehab for pot? No one, unless it's court-ordered. I mean, we drive to the parking lot of the bar, get hammered, then drive home and later complain about drunk-driving… what a completely fucked society we live in!

  36. [kdog] says – reply to this


    36

    duh !

  37. Nik says – reply to this


    37

    She's right. We Coloradoans are in the know, too. Don't believe the propoganda out there. Weed can be a great, safe alternative to alchohol, which I think is much more poisonous to our bodies and society!

  38. James says – reply to this


    38

    Agree, she is totally right, Americans are fucked when it comes to their drug stance…

  39. udontnome says – reply to this


    39

    she's a moron that's why she'll be in rehab 3 more times or more by the years end

    I'd rather be in a room full of stoners than a room full of drunks! But watch out, you might get into a pillow fight with the stoners!

  42. JJ says – reply to this


    42

    perhaps it was this view that landed her in rehab!

  43. Fusion! says – reply to this


    43

    Of course it would be different, it would stop working! Thanks again Perez for showing ow dumb these people are!
    First!

  44. Hollie says – reply to this


    44

    You've gotta be kidding me?! If everyone smoked an illegal substance the world would be a better place?? In a lot of countries she would be put to death for making that comment. lol

  45. crunchyincolorado says – reply to this


    45

    You go girl! Make it legal…tax it and the gov't should be happy. Personally I would much rather be around someone stoned than a drunk anyday!

  46. POT HEAD says – reply to this


    46

    Amen…..!

  47. jennnn says – reply to this


    47

    DAMN STRAIGHT!!!!!! go kiki!

  48. LS says – reply to this


    48

    LOL … I knOW THAT'S right Kristen….. She is right think about weed is the only drug that is not man made. It was put on this earth for a reason and it should be legal cuz god created it… I think there is a purpose for all living things on this EARTH. We just got to the plant before the Government can tax it, NOW it's illegal PLZ. Weed makes u calm, and it makes u think about things befor u react TRUST me I know. So i agree with Kristen. Do you here anything in the news about someone overdosing on weed, or crashing there car beacuse there high. Or dying in the hospital from posionin like ALCOHOL does not weed. So my question is whatttttttttttttttttttt the BIG F'ing DEAL!

  49. jenn says – reply to this


    49

    Re: Hollie – just because it is illegal doesn't make it bad.. oh… wait… everyone should listen to our government cuz it's the best!!!!

    not

  50. Sam says – reply to this


    50

    Whats wrong with her saying this? If you drink alcohol then you are doing worse to your body than smoking weed.

  51. Katelin says – reply to this


    51

    Maybe you should take a toke before you judge anyone.

    And if you're attempting to make her look like a "Drug Addict", it's a failed attempt. Pot really isn't that hardcore of a drug… if she would have said something about coke or another hardcore drug, that may have been a little more newsworthy.

  52. phil says – reply to this


    52

    Re: Nik – Exactly right.

  53. Sam says – reply to this


    53

    The number 10 poster Laura is an idiot. Alzheimers? From pot? Where did you find this wonderful tidbit?

  54. all hail to pot says – reply to this


    54

    pot is medicine. when I have a stomach ache
    a couple puffs..it's all better. God gave it to
    uzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

  55. fletch says – reply to this


    55

    Dunst proves you can't judge a book by it's cover. Moron. If everyone smoked weed a lot of shit wouldn't get done, all the time.

  56. PC Makes me sick says – reply to this


    56

    I agree w/the pot comment. People said the same thing about alcohol before it was legalized… its all in moderation… you can too drunk and you can get too stoned… give me weed or vodka anytime… at least I won't wake up puking with a hang over…

  57. Christy says – reply to this


    57

    this comming from someone who just got out of rehab. STFU!!!!!!!!! Kirsten is F U G L Y !

  58. rachel says – reply to this


    58

    I must agree on her statement. I think that marijuana should be legal. The statistics show that alcohol has killed more people than marijuana. I just don't understand it….

  59. SarahBell says – reply to this


    59

    I don't like her at all. But I COMPLETELY AGREE with her.
    LEGALIZE MARIJUANA!

  60. e2s says – reply to this

  62. Lizo says – reply to this


    62

    I guess the jacket on inside out says it all really…..

  63. auds says – reply to this


    63

    LOL clearly the drugs have depleted her brain cells. weed isn't that big of a deal but the world would DEFINITELY NOT be a better place it everyone was high. give me a break.

  64. I have two uncles same age says – reply to this


    64

    One of my uncles smoked pot, didn't drink, he's now 48..he looks younger than his brother that drank beer everday of his 49 years.
    Pot keeps you young, beer makes you old and
    unhealthy.

  65. tor says – reply to this

    AGREED!

  67. Monstra says – reply to this


    67

    Would we all smell as much as she does? And would we all forget to brush our hair for days on end and wear wrinkled, dirty, ill-fitting clothes? I dunno, I prefer pot-free hygiene.

  68. HA says – reply to this


    68

    Re: Laura – You are retaded!! I completely agree with Kirsten.

  69. hollywoodwhattt says – reply to this

    AMEN! what a loser

  71. Allie says – reply to this


    71

    Wow this girl is an idiot. No, pot isn't a huge deal, but saying that the world would be a better place if everyone smoked it? IDIOT. SHe probably just said that cuz she just wants attention since no one cares about her and her career anymore! Well too bad, I'm still not going to see your movies, that is, if you make anymore!

  72. Paul says – reply to this


    72

    Come on Perez, quit trying to be so morally partial.

    You're an overweight fag, let her be a pothead.

  73. Happy Stoner! says – reply to this


    73

    Couldn't agree more! I am a TOTAL stoner, but I also choose to be a productive member of society. Couldn't agree more….marijuana should be legalized, but never will be b/c it will put the pharmacuetical companies in jeopardy. Our government would rather have us be a pill-popping, drunk naiton! Ever heard of anyone ODing on pot? NEVER! Cracks me up to watch all the f'ing commercial for RX's that our gov. "approves"!! Side affects alone are reason enough NOT to manufacture half the drugs the FDA approves! HELLLLOOOOO…these are synthetic drugs with SEVERAL chemicals manufactured in a warehouse. Weed grows from seeds….just like tomatoes, corn and peas. Get a grip people! All you anti-potheads have absolutely NO idea what you are talking about! Too funny that our gov approves of other drugs –alcohol…..reason being–population control. Our gov approves of cigarettes…reason being–population control. The former causes liver/kidney disease (among MANY others) if you are lucky enough not to kill yourself (or others) behind the wheel. Cigs–lung cancer, emphysema, stroke, etc….which keeps the pharamaceutical companies thriving! This country is just pathetic and assbackwards! Get a grip people! WEED RULES!!!!

    YRe: MissMichelle
    Yeah, OK #4, alcohol doesn't summon up any of these things?

  75. A b solute says – reply to this


    75

    ridiculous. you're looking up to a celebrity who spends most of her time in rehab. marijuana has SOO many negative affects. just because the losers who choose to smoke weed rather than get their life together think its right, doesn't mean it is. seriously, what kind of person sits around preaching about how smoking weed would make the world a better place? what a joke. get a life.

  76. allie says – reply to this


    76

    Perez, get real and stop hating on pot and potsmokers.. marihuana should not be considerd a drug.. if alcohol who damages so many people can be bought almost anywhere why cant weed be legal?.. i agree with kristen dunst.. there is so many people that could use a joint or two to be a little more aprochable or humane.. i dont even know why this is even a discussion anymore.. stop hating perez and roll yourself a fatty!.. enjoy!

  77. Nicki says – reply to this


    77

    I agree with her. It does no harm.

  78. willa says – reply to this


    78

    And she is right!
    Here in Montreal, anybody can smoke pot where they want
    And people wont call you a druggie because you do…
    Neither police will bother, they'll just ask you to throw it away

  79. Yolanda says – reply to this


    79

    WELL, i THINK THIS SUMS IT UP QUITE NICELY…………………………………..

    Like the Indians Hemp Drug Commission three quarters of a century earlier, the Canadian Le Dain Commission conducted an inquiry into the use of marijuana. On page 156 of the report is the following:
    "In the case of cannabis, the positive points which are claimed for it include the following: It is a relaxant; it is disinhibiting; it increases self-confidence and the feeling of creativity (whether justified by creative results or not); it increases sensual awareness and appreciation; it facilitates self acceptance and in this way makes it easier to accept others; it serves a sacramental function in promoting a sense of spiritual community among users; it is a shared pleasure; because it is illicit and the object of strong disapproval from those who are, by and large, opposed to social change, it is a symbol of protest and a means of strengthening the sense of identity among those who are strongly critical of certain aspects of our society and value structure today."

    And I SECOND THAT!

    Hey perez,
    Get off your
    Fucking high horse and
    Stop trying to make
    The pot smokers look
    Bad! Weed or hemp
    has an imporant role
    And is used for many things
    And I've never heard of anybody
    Hurting anyone on pot
    Like those to stupid pot commericals say,
    Which I'm sure is run by republicans
    And southern christains but
    We just people who like to relax and spark
    One up now and then, jeez why don't
    You just ease the fuck up! This is what
    Happens when I don't smoke pot! I GET
    ANGRY!

  86. The advocate says – reply to this


    86

    I totally agree, the US has the most fucked up view on weed, for one thing it is not a narcotic, and in no way should be classed as one, because unlike morphine and heroin and other narcotics it is not addictive, you cannot overdose on it, there have been absolutley no studies that have found it to be detrimental to your health. It helps people eat, it calms people down, it gives people the munchies, I mean when was the last time you heard of a couple people going on crime spree when high on weed, if anything it would make you so paranoid that you would never leave the house!

  87. Yolanda says – reply to this


    87

    ummm…why are some people on here getting on Perez?? Jesus, all he did was QUOTE her! You guys act like he put HIS two cents in. Sheesh! I'll never understand some people….

    oh my gosh i so agree…as an avid weed smoker she has a point. weed is from the earth to help in stressful situations (i find). and if everyone just chilled and smoked a blunt we would have no wars

  95. FoxEBrown says – reply to this


    95

    I completely agree. It has stopped me and many people I know from bein angry. I think everyone should do it for a week and lets see how the crime rate drops.

    That is the smartest thing she has ever said. Period.

  99. Please says – reply to this


    99

    What a tool. My problem with pot is that it is a gateway drug for a lot of people, especially teenagers. Look at Drunkst, she has really kept it together and has only done marijuana. Not.

  100. Missy says – reply to this


    100

    She does have a very good point… We should all just have a smoke and a nice cup of tea. The world will be a much nicer place.
