Disputed Cannabis Users.

This list was complied from various postings to newsgroups and from web pages on the net, where claims have been made for cannabis use. However, for the names on this page I can find no evidence that they have used or supported use of cannabis .
I have therefore removed them from the main list where use has been in some way confirmed.

If anyone can clarify the entries I will be happy to change them. As I research it further names may be added or removed from either list.

When I say "No evidence", it means I can find none online.

• Aldous Huxley, Author, mescaline, yes but no evidence of cannabis use.

• Buddy Rich, Jazz musician. There is no evidence but he moved in those circles. Do you have any to back up the claim?
