Who Cares Whether a Celebrity Smokes Marijuana? Not Many, Says New Yahoo News/Marist Poll.

When Woody Harrelson revealed that he had stopped smoking pot, it did not go unnoticed. After all, the Hunger Games actor has long been known as one of Hollywood’s biggest marijuana supporters, serving on the advisory board for the National Organization for the Reform of Marijuana Laws, alongside Willie Nelson, for years and even attempting to open his own legal marijuana dispensary in Hawaii in 2016.

“I actually stopped smoking pot almost a year ago,” he recently explained to Vulture, adding that he still considered weed a “great” drug.

So why did Harrelson quit?

“Just 30 solid years of just partying too f***ing hard,” he said.

As surprising as it was, the announcement probably didn’t affect many people’s view of the star. An exclusive new Yahoo News/Marist Poll finds that most Americans — 74 percent — say it makes no difference to them whether their favorite celebrity uses marijuana. The number increases to 81 percent among millennials, ages 18 to 34. Most Americans also have no problem with a celebrity publicly supporting the legalization of marijuana. About 56 percent approve of that, compared with 38 percent who do not approve.
