CREATIVE, TALENTED PEOPLE SMOKE MARIJUANA

Add the Bard of Avon, William Shakespeare, to the list of "tokers" that 
include, among others, jazz giant Louis Armstrong, revered astronomer Carl 
Sagan and durable (20-year careers) NBA legends Kareem Abdul-Jabbar and 
Robert Parish. When compared to ardent prohibitionists such as Bill 
Clinton, Nancy Reagan and the Journal's own Mark Patinkin, the message is 
clear: "Don't bogart that joint, pass it over to me."
