Ozzy Osbourne says tobacco 'is the most addictive thing' he ever put in his body, calls marijuana 'a gateway drug'

LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Ozzy Osbourne has briefed on how harmful tobacco use was for his body. On a new episode of 'The Osbournes Podcast', the family answered a fan who asked what their thoughts are on legalizing marijuana for recreational purposes. 

The 'Prince of Darkness' compared his marijuana use to tobacco use while responding to the question. 

What did Ozzy Osbourne say?

“I think it should be legalized everywhere,” Ozzy said immediately according to People, adding “I will say this, it definitely is a gateway drug. But I’d rather have people smoke marijuana than smoke tobacco. Tobacco, without any second thought, is the most addictive thing I ever put in my body.”

Sharon Osbourne revealed how drug made her feel when she first tried it

Sharon, however, disagreed with her husband's stance on marijuana, complaining how the drug made her feel when she first tried it. “Marijuana is stuff that makes you into a blob and you sit there all day, you lose any incentive to do anything and I think it sucks,” she said.

Jack Osbourne said he’s 'okay for legalizing it'

The celebrity couple's son, Jack said he’s “okay for legalizing it,” but said people need to be more honest about what marijuana actually does.

“The last 20 years there’s been such a push to legalize it medically and recreationally and they basically treat it like it’s the wonder drug and the cure for everything… which is not true,” he said. “It is amazing and it does do wonders for people with certain ailments and their bodies…it can do amazing things. It can also do horrible things for people.”

Ozzy then chimed in, “Alcohol can…tobacco can…”

Ozzy Osbourne previously spoke about the harmful aspects of using tobacco

The Black Sabbath musician has maintained his stance on marijuana and tobacco for years, expressing how dangerous tobacco is while talking to Rolling Stone back in 2016.

“It’s only a leaf,” he told the outlet, speaking in favor of legalizing marijuana. “There’s more poison in tobacco. The good thing about legalizing it is the people who grow it illegally, they don’t give a shit what they use to fertilize it,” the 'Crazy Train' performer said at the time.

“A dear friend of mine smoked that every day, he died of the worst throat cancer ever. But if it was governed by the government, they’d have deadlines: you can’t mix this with that. It would make it smoker to smoke. You wouldn’t get sick. … [But] I think tobacco is far more dangerous for you than pot," he added.
