HARRELSON: 'I'M NOT MARIJUANA MAN'

Actor WOODY HARRELSON can't understand why the media makes such a fuss about his love of marijuana - because 'we're all drug addicts'.

The Cheers star has become the Hollywood poster boy for all things hemp and high, and he even lit up a joint for a recent Playboy magazine interview at his home in Hawaii.

Harrelson just can't understand why marijuana hasn't been legalised - and why everyone thinks he's high all the time.

He tells the publication, "I've seen it printed that I'm a marijuana activist, and I understand that, but it's really just something I enjoy."

"Folks may have a drink... People may want to pop a pill before going to a party - that's not for me. Cocaine freaks me out."

"I like the mellow vibe of herb, its uninhibiting effect. For me, it's a better drug than any of the others, and since we're all drug addicts, I don't think it's a bad choice."

"Whether your drug is sugar, coffee, sex, exercise or religion - everybody has something."

"I was two years on (attention deficit disorder drug) Ritalin; my brother was eight years on it. If you didn't have a drug addict before, you had one after. You have someone who's forever chasing the dream."
