Reefer Madness!

You've never seen her like this before!

A home video has surfaced of Marilyn Monroe smoking pot at a friend's house in New Jersey. The video is suspected to be from 1958 or 1959.

New-York based collector Keya Morgan has purchased the footage for $275K and is putting it up for sale on eBay this week.

The video shows a very relaxed Monroe spending time with her friends. She is passed the joint, takes a puff and then smells her armpit before laughing!

The unidentified filmmaker, who had been keeping the video in his attic all these years, confirmed that the substance in the cigarette is marijuana:

"I got [the pot]. It was mine. It was just passed around. It was not a party. It was just a get-together. You know, come over and hang out."

Who knew that Marilyn was a marijuana fan?

      not many people if really any knew the long term effects of drugs on the body back then.

      Agreed. She was a beauty. Cool that she liked weed.



    22. 122

      big deal. everyone knows she was a substance abuser.. this is no different.



    23. 123

      who is NOT a marijuana fan??? I would bet money that the number of people on this planet that smoke weed WAY outnumber the people who don't.

      Still so Beautiful even in a crappy home movie.. wow.



    25. 125

      I love her even more!!! RIP Marilyn, the Greatest Female Pop Icon of All Time.



    26. 126

      Man, some of you people act like pot is on the level of heroin. It's not. It's a plant…Plain and simple. BTW, this was in the 60's (i'm guessing). Everyone smoked pot and did acid and mushrooms. Get over people! We can smoke whatever we want. It's a free country BITCHES!



    27. 127

      I love her. but I didn't know they had pot back in the 50's lol!



    28. 128

      She might have been introduced to it by Robert Mitchum, her co-star in"River of No Return". If you were really interested in Hollywood and it's history, you'd know that he served time at County for pot. Whatever. You'd be a better creative person if you tried "God's gift to mankind" yourself, chubs.



    29. 129

      First off, this was a cigarette, not a joint. The person who owned the film was a WOMAN. Do your research before posting shit.



    30. 130

      Please this is such bullshit. it just looks like one of those thin cigarettes… But even if it wasnt its amazing how she survived as long as she did being mistreated by so many people in her life…. It doenst matter anyway..
      Marilyn Monroe is the biggest ICON of all time!!!!



    31. 131

      I have never smoked or tried drugs but i must say nothing that Marilyn could ever do would turn me off. She was perfect in every way!!! A real woman with a big heart!!!



    32. 132

      i fail to understand why it's so titilating to watch people smoke weed. so much hysteria about a plant that was placed on this earth to heal and comfort. i wish people would just get over it and accept that weed is a gift and those of us who choose to use do so because it brings peace and joy.
