Rob Thomas, the singer/songwriter of the highly successful band Matchbox Twenty, was attending the The Wackness premiere party, where he told reporters "I'm a huge pothead, and a big fan of legalization, so I'm happy to talk about it. In fact, all my stories usually start with, Okay, so I was really high
'" Thomas spoke earlier about his love for marijuana in a Time Out interview (New York, Feb 612, 2008):
...Spoken like someone who just took a big bong rip. The affable singer, who lives with his wife and dogs in Westchester, phoned us from a tour stop in Florida to talk about drugs, rumors and V-Day, which is also his b-day (he turns 36).
Youre a pretty big loadie, arent you?
"Yeah, Im a pretty big pothead."
Do you smoke every day?
"Pretty much. Im not a save-the-world kind of guy. I didnt start smoking pot till I was 18. But I used to do so many drugs that the fact that I smoke pot seems so tame now. Im not doing coke, Im not doing acid, Im not out there flirting. I kind of narrowed it down to getting drunk every now and then and smoking pot."
Are you high right now?
"No, Im not high right now. I dont get high until after I work out. I like to wake up and do all my stuff and have my breakfast. When I get to rehearsal, then Ill smoke."
