Kate Winslet is experiencing some reefer madness, and not in a fun way! The Oscar-winning Winslet appeared in a 17-second video clip promoting the film of her boyfriend’s cousin. The film, titled Breaking the Taboo, is a documentary exploring the failure of the current war on drugs and whether or not decriminalizing recreational drug use is a viable option to end it.
While not in the film itself, Winslet, along with a laundry list of celebrities including Sting and Yoko Ono, endorsed the documentary in a short video clip. She is now under fire for supposedly endorsing the legalisation of all drugs.
While it seems clear that Winslet’s involvement was mostly a favor to her boyfriend’s uncle and cousin, the 37-year-old actress’s endorsement of the film is being called “silly and irresponsible” by an anti-cannibas group.
Personally, I don’t think endorsing a documentary about the war on drugs is tantamount to endorsing the legalization of all drugs.
But what do you think?
