British singer-songwriter Elton John has called the legalisation of marijuana in America and Canada “one of the greatest mistakes of all time”.
Speaking with Time magazine, which selected John as the 2024 Icon of the Year, the legendary musician spoke of his past addiction and described marijuana’s impact on his mental health.
“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,” the 77-year-old said.
“It’s tough to tell someone that they’re being an a******, and it’s tough to hear,” John said. “Eventually I made the choice to admit that I’m being an a******.”
