Marijuana is sort of like, I don’t know, yogurt, or The Montel Williams Show, in that it isn’t for me, but I’m all for everyone having the right to consume it. Williams, who has multiple sclerosis, says that marijuana helps to treat his condition:

I will [use marijuana] every day until the day I drop dead.

There is evidence backing up his claim, which he has espoused for years. In the world of celebrity gossip news, “self-medicate” (a cousin of “wardrobe malfunction”) tends to be delivered with a wink and a nudge to indicate, “hehhhh, this dude is gettin’ freakin’ high!” Yes, we are aware of the effects of marijuana and that people use it. Thanks, television! Anyway, regardless of the extent to which marijuana is helping him, it’s nice to see Montel in good shape. As a morally conscious, intelligent talk show host, he’s one of the best of a crummy genre. For further viewing, please see this clip in which Montel crumbles a “pray away the gay” suit into a bowl of chili and proceeds to eat it by the spoonful.
