FOX's Female Celebrity Stoners, a.k.a. "my dream circle" (what, no Adrianne Curry?)
Hey, isn’t this Steve Bloom’s gig? FOX News has a slideshow of their top 29 celebrity stoners. Funny thing is, pot or not, it is a list of some of my favorite celebrities.
Does it seem to anyone else like FOX is trying to keep ahead of the pro-legalization curve? Their business channel hosted a weeklong look at marijuana with a fairly positive spin. They have Jessica Corry on speaking about Republican support for legalization. Could it be that Roger Ailes actually read my suggestion that Republicans could re-invigorate their brand and appeal to a brand new young demographic if they simply embraced their “government leave me alone” roots with respect to private adult marijuana use?
Watch out, Democrats, you’re getting outflanked on the legalization issue. FOX doesn’t make any move that isn’t coldly calculated to politically benefit conservatives.

I am the producer of The NORML Network, the host of the NORML SHOW LIVE and The NORML Stash Blog, and NORML's Outreach Coordinator. I'm married, live in Portland, Oregon, and I am a registered medical marijuana caregiver in this state. I've worked days as an IT geek and nights as a professional musician. Previously, I have been the host of my own political talk radio show on satellite radio. I've been the High Times "Freedom Fighter of the Month" and I travel across the country to educate people on marijuana reform. I've dedicated my life to bringing an end to adult marijuana prohibition and re-legalizing cannabis hemp, and I'm honored to be chosen by NORML to give voice to the Marijuana Nation and to speak for those who can't speak up.
When I was a military LEO, 501 was the arrest code. (coincidently, Norml and Norml Foundation is in suite 501)
Anybody else see the error in the Woody Harrelson write up?
“The actor regularly lends his celebrity status to the cause of reforming marijuana laws and his favorite time of day is 4:20 (the law enforcement arrest code for possession of marijuana).”
why hate fox for seeing what EVERYONE should be seeing….money comes from legalizing pot, simple…its ridiculous to see articles on perez hilton of celebs stoned, when there are 10 people next to them FUCKED UP on alcohol…I vote make alcohol illegal if marijuana doesnt come around
and those arent the top, some like doug benson feel they are, but no…its moreso the adrianne curry types that actually push for legalization when its taboo, not popular
Who cares, smoke smoke and watch the brain cells say bye bye bye.
I wonder what is going through Bill O the clowns head when he sees that the rest of fox news is starting to side with us.
Russ, I’m hopping Paris Hilton is not on your list of fav celebrities. Hah.
I’ve been noticing their recent support of marijuana legalization. I actually refrained from using the F-a-u-x spelling when referring to them recently.
It’s funny, my dad believes everything they say word for word, he’s addicted to them. I remember years ago trying to rationalize with him why marijuana should be legalized, to no avail. I bet $100 he’ll agree with me now, since Fox said so.

Don’t forget, they actually hired John Stossel who wages a full frontal assault on the War on Drugs from a libertarian perspective. It’s conservative too! Where does the Constitution say that the federal government can fight the Drug war?
I *wish!* I think they just view pot as porn. Acapulco Gold = Ratings Gold
