Harrison Ford stoner?

[Indy's Fist]

I've been reading lots of stuff on the net about the Han Solo actor. Rumor has it that he is a closet stoner. He was even offered a cameo role in the movie "Half Baked" but he declined. It is said that he was the only stoner actor asked who turned down a part.

Any truth to this or what?

[Dr. Indy Jones]

what the heck???

[herr gruber]

Ah, so that explains the unusually high amount of smoke in the skies of Wyoming.

[salussolia]

yes hes itsd been said he does ocasionally do pot. oh well.
hes a carpenter.

[herr gruber]

Smoking that stuff makes one paranoid. If he gets an even slightly negative review he may run amok with a plane. (Aerial and carpentry planes)

[Deckard]

I visited a friend of mine a few weeks ago and he has a collection of High Times magazines. One had an article related to Mr. Ford being pretty open about his use etc. Doesn't bother me tho, he can do w/e he wants as long as he delivers in Indy 4.

Lot's of use or what?

[Deckard]

I read it in the midst of 8 other people, it didnt detail exactly what he does to a T but the article was relating to holywood celebs and how there open about there use and how others are even activists to legalize it. Such as married couple Kurt Russel and Goldie Hawn, and there daughter Kate Hudson as well. There were alot of other big celebs named, but they all stood out. I will see if i can borrow the mag next time i see him and scan it or take some high quality shots.

Harrison (http://raven.theraider.net/showpost.php?p=217694) needed some work done on his ranch in Wyoming and my friend was there to help him out with this. My friend said every morning Harrison would come down stairs and make the best coffee that the guys had ever tasted, then he would proceed to hand out individually hand rolled joints to all the guys that were working for him. Then he would spark it up and chat for a few minutes and then go about his day, every once in awhile picking up a hammer to help along.

[Indyologist]

If it is true, I think it's a shame. I know one of his sons got in trouble for pot posession not long ago. Guess he learned that from his dad. I don't think anyone should do illegal drugs and no one should be able to use fame as an excuse for that kind of behavior.

[Violet Indy]

That explains why he was acting soooo weird in Australia, promoting "Firewall". I thought he was drunk on 'Rove' (Australian version of Jay Leno, but not as good), but in "light" of this, someone "lit his fire" and he "smoked" a little something here. Ok, I'm punned out or should I say, "puffed out"? Ha ha Boom Boom!

Sorry... my brother's watching "Basil Brush" this morning. The insanity!

Seriously, though... Sad to hear it if true. I used to look up to Ford as a kid when I went through some tough times especially to the Indy character. I personally am against narcotics and drugs of addiction. I have seen it ruin a couple of my friends.

i agree with everything you said right here Violet Indy. The whole drug thing is just a let down especially since his son had problems with it.:(

I watched this and he seems a bit slow and confused about what to say...but still its funny:p Usually Harry seems pretty quiet and conserved during interveiws ,but not today.LOL watch his face when he says COX:p

His lethargy in interviews is quite obviously enhanced by pot.

He's very, um.....you know, uhhhhh.....slow, in uhhhhh.....interviews. I suspect he might have taken something thats affected him, or else his age is catching up with him.

I agree. I don't care what he does in his spare time. It's his personal life and he can be as secretive or open about it as he wants. He's just an actor. I look up to Indiana Jones, not Harrison Ford. I don't even know the man.

Besides... there are worse things in life than pot.

...Like alcohol...

...and which one of those has America deemed legal despite the fact that it causes a ridiculous amount of deaths per year? Not Mary Jane.

For the record: I've never even smoked cigarettes, let alone pot.

I've tried weed, but it don't do nuthin for me! But yeah smoking weed is not a real big deal. Most people these days do anyway.

[oki9Sedo]

I couldn't care less what he does to get his kicks.

[deckard24]

I don't know if it's the reason, but Ford has beaten the hell out of his body over the years and a joint every now and then might be for the aches and pains! He is 65 years old now, and his extreme ways over the years may have taken a toll on him. He's had countless surgeries on his back, knees, etc., so his weed habit might be for medicinal reasons.

It could also just be that Ford is an ageing hippie, and the weed is a carry-over from his college days in the 60's! LOL!

Either way I don't really give a #### what Ford smokes in his spare time! If he was shooting dope I might be disappointed, but a joint isn't that big a deal to me.

Deckard, you got it right man! By the way, nice screen name! LOL

[HFFan]

OMG! If it's true, who cares!! It doesn't mean he's not a decent person. And those people that are 'so disappointed' need to stop putting people on pedestals. You're going to be horribly 'disappointed' with a lot of people! He's a real person with a real life just like all of us. (As I'm writing this, I'm drinking a glass of wine! GASP!)

Someone brought up a good point about his injuries. I believe he does suffer a great deal from pain.

And a comment about his interviews: I have been a fan of his (even in spite of his 'flaws') since the Star Wars days, and I've seen many, many interviews over the years. He has the same style of speaking today as he did 30 years ago. And he has never been comfortable doing interviews, unless he knows or is friends with the interviewer. (He actually does great interviews with Charlie Rose.) But he is usually shy, reserved, nervous (he suffers from stage fright) and also has a very dry sense of humor. These characteristics often get misinterpreted as being aloof, bored, stoned or drunk. :rolleyes:

[No Ticket]

I have to tell you guys that I don't think he smoked pot before interviews. He is a reserved guy... and I am somewhat like that myself. I'd say that for the most part he is just bad with conversations. Sure, if someone writes lines down for him he hasn't got a problem, but when it comes to actually talking he is not all that sociable so he umms and uhhhs a lot. He probably doesn't like interviews. Catch him on a good day, and maybe he wants to be a little goofy or silly or whatever. I often forget what I'm saying when I'm talking because I'm thinking ahead to the next point I want to make after that.. and I'm 23... lol, but I don't smoke pot.

Besides, even if he does, what is the big deal? It's not like a million other people don't secretly do it... I know lots of people who have. And he did grow up back in the 60s...

Give the guy a break. He is a good person. And you know it.

[HFFan]

I know one of his sons got in trouble for pot posession not long ago. Guess he learned that from his dad.

I want to say something about this comment, before anymore rumors are spread about a kid that didn't ask to be in the limelight.

There has never been any reliable report that his son "got in trouble for pot possesion". This statement makes it sound like he was arrested or was in some legal trouble.

This rumor started with a brief mention several years ago in The Globe, which scrapes the 'bottom of the barrel' as far as US tabloids go. This tabloid (which we know always tells the truth:rolleyes: ) said that his son had been attending outpatient rehab sessions with his parents to curb his use of pot. The slant of the article was more about how Harrison's ex-wife Melissa didn't want Calista attending the sessions. As far as I'm concerned, there is a 90% chance the whole story was made up!

[Kingsley]

Dont think he is...

[Adolf Hitler]

OMG! If it's true, who cares!! It doesn't mean he's not a decent person. And those people that are 'so disappointed' need to stop putting people on pedestals. You're going to be horribly 'disappointed' with a lot of people! He's a real person with a real life just like all of us. (As I'm writing this, I'm drinking a glass of wine! GASP!)
I have to absolutely agree with this. I mean drug use in Hollywood? Say it isn't so!:rolleyes:

The only reason people on here are shocked is because they grew up with the likes of Han Solo and Indy and now associate Ford's face with those heroic and noble characters. But in actual fact nobody here knows at all what Ford is really like. So what if he's an aging, earring wearing, pot smoking divorcee who mumbles through interviews. He doesn't go on TV and promote drug use, doesn't bother the public witrh his private life (unlike some) and as for his son, nobody here is in an informed position to pass judgment on whether or not he's a good father.

You're all on here because you fell in love with a fantasy called Indiana Jones. As far as I'm concerned that fantasy is still alive and well.

Right on Man! I wondered after the fact if you were just being sarcastic, but I wasn't quite sure.

Ford smoking crack just doesn't seem right, does it? LOL! Now when I think of it all I can picture is Ford, Rick James, and Charlie Murphy hanging out!

[FILMKRUSC]

If it is true, I think it's a shame.

I agree. If it's true then :down: but anymore it's hard to believe many things you read in the press - just consider the sources (reporters) - some of whom rarely do the work necessary to confirm stories/facts. Even worse sometimes they don't even care to.

As Someone who has had plenty of experience with illicit substances I'd be
hard pressed to group marijuanna with narcotics and drus of addiction.
Frequent use of narcotics like opiates and cocaine result in a chemical dependancy . Marijuuanna is in no way chemically addictive, I have never experienced a pot widthdrawl nor has any of countless number of pot heads
that I know. Sure a pot head may get a little crabby after not smoking for a while but it's nothing like coming down from a oxycontin binge where your so dopesick you can't even shower or eat for four or five days . The latter coming from personel experience.
The point is that there are far worse things than mary jane.

I don't see what the big deal is about pot. Some people think it's the best thing in the world and some people think it's absolutely disgraceful. It just makes you spacey and philosophical and tired. Not worth the fuss from either side if you ask me. It isn't going to cause brain damage like cocaine will.

Not that long ago it was the 3rd most commonly abused drug mentioned in drug related emergency room visits. That's not psychological.

FYI - People who were admitted to treatment centers for marijuana addiction represented 15.8% of all drug/alcohol treatment admissions in 2005.

As for health effects - marijuana smoke contains 50 percent to 70 percent more carcinogenic hydrocarbons than does tobacco smoke which users like to ignore.

Even your link states "Tashkin said that while he still believes marijuana is potentially harmful....." Why anyone would want to use something potentially harmful is beyond me.

A BBC report, http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/health/7150274.stm,
that just came out a little over a week ago stated that "The Health Canada team also found five times as much hydrogen cyanide and nitrogen oxides, which are linked to heart and lung damage respectively."

And from the same report - "These findings do not surprise me. The toxins from cannabis smoke cause lung inflammation, lung damage and cancer." Stephen Spiro, of the British Lung Foundation, added the findings were "a great worry".


The funny thing about Marijuana is you will get people who will just ignore the reality. Just like cigarette smokers. :hat:

Perhaps, but their usage does not necessarily make a bad person. I don't do it, nor do I really drink, but I don't think those who drink are bad people. And marijuana is a pretty tame drug. Cocaine, is a different story.

I don't personally need anything to make me feel "temporarily" better or help me forget my troubles or whatever you want to call it.

[fatima]

That's the thing that always had amazed me, of how people who clame to ADORE Indiana Jones, and yet don't even bother to know the man beyond his Indy gear, what more movies has played, following his career for sure, paying attention for his talk shows, his ways of talking, his peculiar sense of humor, yes sense of humour you have to follow his career along the years as I've done to have a serious opinion on him, and what you guys say about he is in drugs, pots and s** like that have NO clue at all of what you say, learn to observe first and get along his life how it has been changed for the past 5 years, since he dates Calista that Harrison is being a man who has thrown away his serious side, he has been more open to express himself without fears, you have to be his fan to get his sense of humour or attitudes.
In the 60's he was a HIPPIE and yes he used drugs or smoked drugs, but WHO didn't at the time???
...his manners in Australia in Firewall primiere, what was it about? for everything I could see, was a man making faces, having private jokes with Paul Bettany, now a funny thing is, if the guy is seen as grumpy none likes him, if the guy stands out by reacting with sense of humour, people who are not used to see that side of him say that he is in drugs, seriously his son had a trouble with it, and his dad helped his son to go out of it, now you think HF would be insane to go for it....well think twice before you post nonsense things, and a little of respect cause the Indy guy that everyone from here is highly expecting for next year is played by the guy you say uses drugs!
I sure am not a fan of a druged or dunk actor/ man!!! :mad:

[fatima]

I'm sorry if I was mad at the final setence, but, I would just like to appeal good sense to all of you to rethink about him being druged.

I'm just speaking from personel experience. I know good and well what it feels like to be chemically dependant on opiates and the subsequent lack thereof resulting in a chemical withdrawl . With mary jane there are no physical withdrawl symptoms. I know pot isn't exactly healthy but I'm willing to bet that if you investigated all those marijuanna related emergency room visits you'd find that they were the result of people doing stupid things while high i.e. cooking, driving, handleing sharp objects.....ect , as opposed to a marijuanna overdose. You can't overdose from smoking pot, it's just not possible. Trust me wev'e tried.
I would also like to quote Hunter S. Thompson in saying that I don't advocate the use of drugs, violence, or insanity to anyone, but they've always worked for me.

[Canyon]

OMG! If it's true, who cares!! It doesn't mean he's not a decent person. And those people that are 'so disappointed' need to stop putting people on pedestals.

I agree with you 100 percent.

Harrison Ford is a great person, but no, he is not perfect like some here like to think. ;)

Yes, I have seen Harrison in many interviews and I can honestly say that he always comes across as someone who is quite shy and reserved.

What you have to understand about Harrison is that he is a very down to earth person. I think that when he first became really famous in Star Wars/Raiders, it must have been quite a shock at first, and even though he is an actor, I think that he has never quite felt comfortable with talking about himself.

I've liked Harrison for almost twenty years now, and him smoking cannabis does not alter the respect that I have for him.

Fatima. Don't worry. I know how passionate you are and how much you love Harrison. :hat:

Lastly, we should all be celebrating that Ford is back as Indy. :whip:

Oh that's right -he's dead after shooting himself in the head...

You sir are a true loser. Hunter was a great great man whom most see as a drug addict due to Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas, You obviously have read none of his work, I sincerely hope you fall off of a rope bridge to your demise.

Sick and disgusting. I don't know why you're so bitter about it but I'll be sure and smoke one for you tonight. ;)

[fatima]

Thanks Canyon! :hat: And yes, I agree with you 100%.
He is not perfect and I'm glad he isn't!

No - just the facts.

[yodazone]

No wonder he's always so relaxed during interviews!

I knew (http://raven.theraider.net/showpost.php?p=229817) it!
Says the NY Daily News (http://www.nydailynews.com/gossip/2008/04/08/2008-04-08_untitled__side.html):
Which A-lister toked up with his younger co-star during filming of their megablockbuster? The duo, along with the youngster's dad, smoked pot in the star's trailer, causing the crew to create a code name for when they were stoned.
I wonder who'd win in a Harrison-Malcom Shia-Jeff father-son three legged race...

I've always know that Harry was a big pothead but this kind of depresses me. I think it's pathetic when people over forty still "need" to get high everyday. I dunno, just seems sad to me.

(Not that I wouldn't take a few tokes if Harrison offered!)

[yodazone]

Nothing to be ashamed of. All great comedians use it. Even George Carlin and he's old.

:up: :up: :up:

[Shortie]

THIS is why he did Firewall.

[|ZiR|]

THIS is why he did Firewall.

I prefer to use that excuse with Hollywood Homicide. :p

[yodazone]

he's been doing this since American Graphitti...

(1970s...)

:cool:

[snake_surprise]

I cannot believe there is even a thread about this.

Who cares what he does off screen...honestly.

With this logic, I think we should all just stay in our houses and not support anything, company, person, etc...with our funds and time, because most people might do or say something we do not agree with.

[|ZiR|]

Well of COURSE there's a thread about it! We're fans.

We dissect and discuss everything -- on screen and off. It's what we DO.

With this logic, I think we should all just stay in our houses and not support anything, company, person, etc...with our funds and time, because most people might do or say something we do not agree with.

Eh... I don't think it's really the same thing at all.

I've been reading lots of stuff on the net about the Han Solo actor. Rumor has it that he is a closet stoner. He was even offered a cameo role in the movie "Half Baked" but he declined. It is said that he was the only stoner actor asked who turned down a part.
Any truth to this or what?
Heck yes Harrison is a stoner!!! While working as a carpenter, he became a stagehand for the rock band The Doors, including operating one of the four cameras for their taped concert at the Hollywood Bowl in 1968. And, many years later, when asked what religion he was, he replied, "democrat." God Bless you, Harrison Ford!
*do i need to put a source for this information, or not?*
I was disappointed. I thought he was a wholesome guy, that, apart from his looks was part of his attraction. :( :down:
so if he smokes pot that makes him a lessor person or even...evil? what is wrong with you people? we are talking about pot. it is more dangerous to your health to drive a car! Do you believe everything your government tells you? The government says pot is bad, so it is illegal. Does that make it so? My government also says that invading Iraq was the right thing to do. Does that make it true? No offense implied here, but people, dare to think for yourself!!!:gun:
agreed... and plus imagining indiana jones high is really funny
No...watching Indiana Jones high is really funny!:p

As for health effects - marijuana smoke contains 50 percent to 70 percent more carcinogenic hydrocarbons than does tobacco smoke which users like to ignore.
Not if you smoke out of a bong!:whip:

[ResidentAlien]

Eroc...


You're allowed 1 post in succession. Not two consecutively and certainly not 4 in rapid succession.


READ FORUM RULES. Stop cluttering topics. USE THE EDIT BUTTON.


Oy.

[eroc]

I can and did do a google search. The Government states that it's between 50-70%.
Look under health effects which is about a 1/3rd of the way down the page.
http://www.whitehousedrugpolicy.gov/drugfact/marijuana/index.html
Quote "...marijuana smoke contains 50 percent to 70 percent more carcinogenic hydrocarbons than does tobacco smoke."
Which is sourced from the National Institute on Drug Abuse, Research Report Series—Marijuana Abuse.
Even your link states "Tashkin said that while he still believes marijuana is potentially harmful....." Why anyone would want to use something potentially harmful is beyond me.
A BBC report, http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/health/7150274.stm,
that just came out a little over a week ago stated that "The Health Canada team also found five times as much hydrogen cyanide and nitrogen oxides, which are linked to heart and lung damage respectively."
And from the same report - "These findings do not surprise me. The toxins from cannabis smoke cause lung inflammation, lung damage and cancer." Stephen Spiro, of the British Lung Foundation, added the findings were "a great worry".
The funny thing about Marijuana is you will get people who will just ignore the reality. Just like cigarette smokers. :hat:
This is all from anti-drug advocates. Of course they will tell you this. Do you believe everything you hear? Or better yet do you believe everything that the government tells you?
Can you back this up with evidence?
Please do. I've never become dependant on Psilocybin mushrooms, even in high doses.:D

I don't belive everything my government tells me. But when they tell me I'll go to jail if I possess weed then I tend to take them at their word. I don't use weed or drink or try to get high at all. I love being sober. It might be a "holier than thou" attitude but it's MY choice not to do these things. I would just hope others would have the same common sense and respect me for my choice. Just like many pot smokers want the same respect for their habits. Double standard? Maybe.

Yeah Sarah, Ford drops the F-Bomb a bunch of times in that video! It's hysterical! The second video is from a film called Getting Straight in which Ford plays a college stoner, go figure.

I just noticed the "What up Biotch?" clip too!LOL
