Whoopi has two controversies floating around her today. First she blasts Donald Trump, who may run for President in 2012, on today’s episode of ‘The View’ for asking to see President Barak Obama’s birth certificate, to which Whoppi replied “that is the biggest pile of dog mess I’ve heard”. So while blasting the Donald the celebrity gossip kings TMZ released video of Whoppi recalling the time she was on the Oscars accepting her Academy Award for “Ghost” she had just smoke a joint. Not really surprises since a number of celebrities are forthcoming about their use of marijuana.
The number of people admitting to smoking the illegal substance and more and more movies feature pot smoking. Last year a number of celebrities came out in defense of Prop 19 in California which intended to make marijuana legal for recreational use. The continuous push to make marijuana legal will no doubt succeed on day but diving under the influence of pot will still be illegal and anyone caught will have to hire a DUI attorney.
Some studies have shown that close to forty percent of the American population has smoke pot at least once in their lives and if caught behind the wheel require a good DUI lawyer. The stigma of pot use is diminishing but many people who use pot have the tendency to drive while intoxicated thinking it doesn’t hinder their abilities, a point that DUI attorneys and police will undoubtedly dispute.
