Hard working comic Zack Galifianakis smoked a joint on Bill Maher’s live cable talk show “Real Time” last Friday. The controversy of his antics has been discussed all week. Smoking marijuana, an illegal drug on National Television is a bold move to make which got lots of cheers from the audience. On “The O’Reilly Factor”, Maher denied Zach had a joint but another guest Margaret Hoover is certain it was pot. No doubt Galifianakis was motivated by the appearance of the now defeated Prop 19 on California’s ballot Tuesday. Zach’s new feature film “Due Date” also starring Robert Downey Jr. opened in theaters today.
The zany comic joins the over 40% of the American population who uses the popular illicit drug. Numerous people in the entertainment industry have long hailed the creative benefits of cannabis. Many comedians have publicly admitted using drugs. Richard Pryor and Robin Williams had heavy cocaine addictions during the height of their careers.

Under the influence of drugs and alcohol a person is likely use poor judgment.
