Elton John Calls Legalizing Marijuana A Huge Mistake

Elton John, recently named Time’s Icon of the Year, has publicly denounced the legalization of marijuana, calling it a misguided decision with far-reaching consequences. In an interview published Wednesday, the legendary musician spoke candidly about his views, rooted in personal experience and decades of advocacy for sobriety.

“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,” John said. “Legalizing marijuana in America and Canada is one of the greatest mistakes of all time.”

John’s comments come as marijuana legalization continues to expand globally. Colorado and Washington were the first U.S. states to legalize the drug for recreational use in 2012. Since then, more than 20 states have followed suit, along with Canada in 2018.

Time highlighted John’s commitment to helping others overcome addiction, noting that he has supported countless individuals in their journeys toward sobriety. Despite his efforts, not every story had a happy ending—John once tried, unsuccessfully, to assist his close friend, George Michael, with his struggles.

The singer’s personal battles with drugs are explored in the new Disney+ documentary, Elton John: Never Too Late. Co-directed by R.J. Cutler and John’s husband, David Furnish, the film intertwines John’s meteoric rise to fame with his decision to step away from touring after five decades. “We realized there were two extraordinary moments in Elton’s life that fit together in a deeply resonant way,” Cutler told USA TODAY.

John’s honesty extends beyond addiction. Last month, the 77-year-old revealed on Good Morning America that he has lost vision in his right eye due to an infection and struggles with partial vision in his left. Despite the challenges, John remains hopeful about his recovery and continues to engage with fans.

Known for hits like “Rocket Man” and “I’m Still Standing,” John’s legacy spans over 50 years. Yet his recent remarks remind us that his impact extends beyond music, serving as a voice of caution in an era of sweeping societal change.
