Answer 1

Well, almost 80% of the world's population has tried marijuana at least once, or smokes regularly. Yet many of them aren't famous. I don't see any clear relations between them. Everyone likes marijuana, famous or not... even those tight asses do (secretly).

Answer 2

All the people on that list ate food to, but just like cannabis, it had nothing to do with them becoming famous. I'm not saying that it should be illegal, just that it had nothing to do with famous people becoming famous, because there is an even longer list of people who used it, and didn't become famous.

Answer 3

Um OK I am a Christian and even I know that Crowley was into many things but Satanism was not one of them at all. He said that, his followers say that and Satanists say that
