Kirsten
Dunst
While on a promotional tour for Spiderman 3, in which she reprises her role as Spidey's girlfriend Mary Jane, actress Kirsten Dunst told Britain's Live magazine she smokes pot and thinks the world would be a better place if everyone did the same. "I drink moderately, I've tried drugs. I do like weed. I have a different outlook on marijuana than America does," she said. "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." Saying smoking marijuana can be inspirational, she added, "I'm not talking about being stoned all day, though. I think if it's not used properly, it can hamper your creativity and close you up inside."
Dunst, who is a friend of Sasha Sagan, the daughter of VIP Carl Sagan and NORML board member Ann Druyan, added, "My best friend Sasha's dad was Carl Sagan, the astronomer. He was the biggest pot smoker in the world and he was a genius." She is shown here reading Sagan's book, The Varieties of Scientific Experience.
