Several movies and television series released over the years showed the scope of weed in the entertainment industry whether it is used as medicine or just simply an activity. Many actors, writers, camera crew, and other people working in Hollywood have admitted that smoking weed is indeed enjoyable and not harmful.
The drug was even mentioned in Seth Meyers' monologue during the 2018 Golden Globes Awards last January. "It's 2018, marijuana is finally allowed and sexual harassment finally isn't," Meyers said on stage and was immediately met with applauds and cheers. He then followed it up with, "It's gonna be a good year."
Cannabis is not only common in the entertainment industry but in others as well — music, sports, and more. Making news these days are the disposal bins installed across the Las Vegas airport solely for used up pot. The McCarran International Airport now has designated bins just for legally purchased marijuana. These trash cans are scattered all over the airport with the reminder "Disposal for Prescription and Recreational Drugs."
