Morgan Freeman wants cannabis to be legalised "across the board" as the actor has claimed that it helps him with pain management and has many other useful uses.
The 'Million Dollar Baby' star said in an interview with The Daily Beast that the thrust is understanding that alcohol has no real medicinal use and even if it has then one gets "f***ed" after two or three shots, the Independent reported.
Talking about the legalization of marijuana, the 77-year-old actor asserted that this movement was really a long time coming, and it was getting "longer legs".
The American actor said that cannabis was the only thing that could help him manage fibromyalgia pain in his arm after it was shattered in a car crash in 1977.
Freeman also said that he will eat marijuana, drink it, smoke it and snort it.
