Successful Potheads

Keeping the meme going...

Yet more proof that pot will make you a lethargic do nothing couch potato whose highest aspirations consist of turning everything they see into a bong.
The 10 Most Successful Potheads on the Planet… Cool Enough to Admit It

Where these stereotypes originated remains a mystery to us. In reality, they couldn’t be further from the truth. Not only have 42% of Americans admitted to trying pot, but pot smokers have gone on to become some of the most successful people in our society. We’re not talking about Willie Nelson and Snoop. These guys are on the Forbes 500, they’re leading the free world, and they prove that all existing pothead stereotypes are nothing more than myths.
I've condensed the list here without all the dope on why these people break the stereotype of the lazy stoned out hippie.
  • Sir Richard Branson
  • Rick Steves
  • Aaron Sorkin
  • Michael Phelps
  • Barack Obama
  • Michael Bloomberg
  • Ted Turner
  • Montel Williams
  • Stephen King
  • Arnold Schwarzenegger
Carl Sagan missed making the list because he has spent the last 12 years doing nothing.

I personally attribute my not smoking pot to being content with a factory job and having the most cynical Presidential bid of the 21st century.
