Remember when singers were allowed to get high and not be frowned upon for doing so




Bob Marley was probably the biggest crackhead of his time, but he had probable cause. Many people do not know that Marley was fighting with cancer. In July 1977, Marley was found to have acral lentiginous melanoma, a form of malignant melanoma, in a football wound on his right big toe. Marley refused amputation, because of the Rastafari belief that the body must be "whole". The cancer then metastasized to Marley's brain, lungs, liver, and stomach. As a result, Bob Marley looked to weed and bongs as a way to escape his pain and live freely for the amount of time that he had left on earth.
