Elton John and Marijuana Legalisation

Elton John, a legendary singer-songwriter, has called the legalisation of marijuana in America and Canada "one of the greatest mistakes of all time." His own experiences with addiction and the impact on his mental health have led him to this conclusion.

Speaking with Time magazine, John shared his past addiction and described how marijuana led him to other drugs. He believes that when you're stoned, you don't think normally and it's tough to make good decisions. His words serve as a reminder of the potential dangers of marijuana legalisation.
