Gene Simmons Discusses His Change of Heart on Weed: ‘Do Your Goddamn Research’

He's right.

But one does have to wonder in this day and age, 'what the # took you so long to figure it out Gene'?

KISS legend Gene Simmons is a well-known anti-drugs guy, and an overall controversial character, who has spoken out against weed in the past. So, on a recent visit to Invictus MD, a publicly-traded Canadian cannabis producer and retailer, we were surprised to have a celebrity cameo from The Demon himself. Simmons professed that his views on cannabis have changed as of late, especially after joining Invictus as its Chief Evangelist Officer.

“I was one of those people who said cannabis is the same thing as heroin,” Simmons told High Times. “But it’s not! We’re told by researchers every single day that there is not only medical value in cannabis, but even miraculous results from cannabis-based products.”

Remember when Bush Sr. and Junior were in power, when Cannabis was evil and bad? No doubt due to the strangle hold on all things Media. The breaking dawn of the Nanny State, so carefully thought out for aeons before them.

It's good to see people using their intelligence to figure it out. Finally.

Remember when Bush Sr. and Junior were in power, when Cannabis was evil and bad?

Is started with the Bush Presidents ?
How did ol Brother Bill feel about it ? Oh , wait , he did not inhale. I say he never exhaled....

But , you are under a political sway as that statement shows
I can produce many friends who went to jail WAAAAAYYYYY before the first Bush President....

Edit that post and delete the obvious political diatribe...
You are better than that.

Gene is the biggest whore in the music biz, I;m not sure his change of heart is any more complex then ..$$$
We heard months ago he signed with Invictus..we rolled our collective eyes.

Not talking about a personal level, but on a National one.

That may very well be, however, music $ whore or not, What Gene Simmons is doing is good for the Cannabis Industry, rather than knocking it down and ignoring the benefits.

Congrats on being less of an idiot.

I agree, I just doubt his integrity, he should of opened his eyes many years ago.

There was a song about this phenomenon.

Back at ya! ( Gene )

That one is a Classic.

I know, he mentioned the $ aspect in the article as well. As with all Media sensationalists with millions in their pocket, atleast with this instance, it's provoking people to get outside the Cave and think for themselves,rather than follow. And it's due to his fame people will listen at all.

Gene can't help slapping the KISS label on everything so I expect KISS brand pipes, smoke and anything else big enough to put a decal on.

a reply to: BotheLumberJack

Yes, it will work out ok.

Gene is Big, it's the American dream isn't it?

a reply to: BotheLumberJack

Aww, we got a fanboi.

I've never been a KISS fan, it's just a post, that's what people on ATS do, they post stuff. But seriously, relax man don't take it so seriously.

I am the lord of the weedland! A modern day Man of Chong! I gather sweetleafs to profit me! I command you to kneel before the
God of Ganja
And sensamilla

I could go on. Be thankful I don't.

Yes , that was my point.

You ARE better than that.
