Elton John calls marijuana legalization ‘greatest mistake of all time’

Elton John is no fan of the legalization of marijuana, calling it “one of the greatest mistakes of all time.”

“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,” the legendary singer told Time in an interview this week as part of their Icon of the Year coverage.

John’s past struggles seemingly led him to that conclusion. The EGOT winner battled years of drug abuse through much of the ’70s and ’80s, and has reportedly been sober since 1990.
