How about a iconic PRESIDENT for one and as for Marijuana….
Well there is a list below….
…..there’s good reason to think that coke has entered the US presidential office on past occasions – and that its most famous user may have been Franklin D Roosevelt.
Professor Steve Gillon, a US historian at the University of Oklahoma, says he was “shocked” to make the discovery while researching his 2011 book, Pearl Harbor: FDR Leads the Nation Into War.
In addition to hypertension and heart disease in his later years, the president had chronic sinus conditions. Cocaine is a powerful vasoconstrictor, which means it tightens blood vessels, unlike many other topical anesthetics, which loosen blood vessels and can make bleeding worse. And in the 1930s and 1940s, when Roosevelt held office, the go-to treatment for nasal swelling was a watered-down cocaine solution, applied by a cotton swab, to quickly shrink and numb a patient’s nasal tissue, before inserting a needle to drain out sinus fluid….

“Cocaine was the drug of choice” for the procedure back then, making it likely that Roosevelt had received it. “It was nothing unusual, it was common practice, and it wasn’t illegal,” Gillon says.

John F Kennedy was rumored to have smoked pot in a bedroom with his mistress Mary Pinchot Meyer. He was also said to have been given regular amphetamine shots by Max Jacobson, a controversial physician nicknamed “Dr Feelgood”, to treat chronic back pain. “I don’t care if it’s horse piss,” Kennedy reportedly told his brother Bobby. “It works.” (Like cocaine, amphetamine is also a controlled substance that can be legally prescribed for certain medical conditions.)…

The most legendary White House substance story may be the singer Willie Nelson’s account of smoking weed on the building’s roof during Jimmy Carter’s administration, “late at night with a beer in one hand and a fat Austin Torpedo in the other”, he wrote in his 1988 autobiography. “I let the weed cover me with a pleasing cloud … I guess the roof of the White House is the safest place to smoke dope.”
The story was confirmed in 2020 by Carter himself, who explained that Nelson had been up there smoking with Carter’s son Chip. (In 2014, Snoop Dogg also claimed to have lit up a joint in Barack Obama’s White House, though his account was never verified.)….
