The 67-year-old said he is a big fan of cannabis legislation, because he has lost friends to cancer, who he believes would have survived if they were smoking a better quality of legal weed, reported Contactmusic.
"It's only a leaf. There's more poison in tobacco. The good thing about legalising it is the people who grow it illegally, they don't give importance to what they use to fertilise it. A dear friend of mine smoked that every day (and) he died of the worst throat cancer ever.
"If it was governed by the government, they'd have deadlines: 'You can't mix this with that...' It would make it cleaner to smoke. You wouldn't get sick... I think tobacco is far more dangerous for you than pot," Osbourne said.
