Actor Morgan Freeman has called for cannabis to be legalised "across the board".
Freeman, 77, said it helps him with pain management and has many other useful uses, reported The Independent.
He praised more recent calls for it to be legalised for focusing on its medicinal value.

"This movement is really a long time coming, and it's getting legs-longer legs. Now, the thrust is understanding that alcohol has no real medicinal use. Maybe if you have one drink it'll quiet you down, but two or three and you're gone," he said.
The actor said his relationship with cannabis began "many years ago".
Asked how he would consume it, he replied, "However it comes! I'll eat it, drink it, smoke it, snort it!"
Freeman said cannabis is the only thing that can help him manage fibromyalgia pain in his arm after it was shattered in a car crash in 1977.
"They're talking about kids who have grand mal seizures, and they've discovered that marijuana eases that down to where these children can have a life," he added.
