Drew Carey Defends Medical Marijuana

Looks like Drew Carey can add another job title to his growing repertoire: medical-marijuana spokesman.

The host of The Price Is Right and Power of 10 can be seen in a video, released on the website Reason.tv on Thursday, arguing the benefits of accessible medical marijuana and voicing his opinions about the government’s role in controlling it.

“I think it’s clear by now that the federal government needs to reclassify marijuana,” Carey says in the video. “People who need it should be able to get it, safely and easily.”

Carey also visits an herbal pharmacy in Los Angeles, complete with a “deli-like” counter where customers can purchase many different forms of marijuana, including ice cream and brownies.

“Smell that smell?” Carey asks the camera as he enters the shop. “Smells like freedom.”

CBS had no comment about their star’s new endorsement. — Reporting by Rob Moynihan

When you say CBS has no comment, does that mean you actually asked them, and they responded "No Comment"? Or does that mean you didn't ask them at all? In other words if you don't respond to this, I can go about saying TV Guide has no comment on my comment. Just curious is all.

It means that the appropriate CBS spokesperson was asked to comment and declined.

How are the ratings for The Price is Right with Drew? I, for one, can't watch without Bob.

And please remember: help control the pet population... have your pet spayed or neutered. And while you're out, pick up some pot.

Sorry if I sound like an old lady here but... Maybe Drew Carey should be fired by CBS. I never liked the idea of him as the recast for Bob Barker and now he goes and does this.

The Price Is Right is a nice clean show. Is it right for the host to promote making pot legal???

It is one thing for Bob Barker to talk about "controlling the pet population" (no harm there) but getting into this shady drug issue is not the same thing. It will only bring bad attention on TPIR. I thought that avoiding scandal/trouble was the reason they did not hire Rosie for Bob's job. ?<img border=">
