Looks like she is smoking some bush with gals from the Isle of Lesbo

What’s next?

An uncovered ‘Home Movie’ showing MM being tag-teamed by Jack-and-Bobby? Or is it Back-and-Jobby?

Tune in nexxxt week for “The Waitress Sandwich” featuring more homemade mayonnaise from High-an.us-port!

Looks like a cigarette because it is perfectly rolled. Other than the passing going on, it looks like a non event.

I wonder how much some rocket scientist at Rueters paid that that slice of 8mm heaven?

Charles,
Not only that, but she is smoking it like a cigarette. Why even post this nonsense?

She didn’t inhale very long which is unusual for smoking pot.

Yawn…..it’s a cigarette.

What B.S.! It’s a cigarette stupid.

So what? Don’t vote for her.
Ya I know she is dead, but so many dead people vote in Chicago who knows .

Marilyn was smokin’ a lot more than cigarettes back then…..
Pitiful, actually.

Joe Dammagio and JFK are furious about this tape getting out. There will be retribution for this smear.

Uhm, clearly you’ve never seen a proper marijuana cigarette.

There are manual “rollers” you can buy for $10 that give you perfectly even distribution, giving the appearance of a machine rolled tobacco cigarette.

And, she’s definitely inhaling long enough.

What’s the big deal, she’s (potentially) smoking a plant, a plant that doesn’t include thousands of chemicals, insane amounts of tar/nicotene, etc.

Amazing how people are so ho-hum about a product (cigarettes) that knowingly cause cancer/death. Yet a simple plant put on earth (must have been the devil’s seed) is still illegal. Go smoke your cigarette and get a 30 second buzz. I’ll be cooking and vaporizing (heating, not burning the marijuana, thus no smoke) while you fools burn cigs and throw back gobs of prescription pills.

LEGALIZE IT.

WOW! Someone from Hollywood smoking weed! I can’t believe it, shocking, SHOCKING I say.

Krispy   December 1st, 2009 - 4:38 pm

I doubt if that’s what it is that it’s certainly not as bad as the stuff they put out today, WHich begs the question why is Charlie Sheen alive? He’s done a lot worse and should of been in a jail for the horrible things he’s done. Why is not overdosed and die? Or in Jail for abusing his women?

You mean Marilyn…did…drugs?!?!

Geoff   December 1st, 2009 - 5:42 pm

Greenbywater…….WRONG!…a machine roller could not roll joints back then. Pot was all leaves, seeds, and stems. It was extremely rare to get pot clean enough to use a machine roller. Besides that, no pot smokers took the time to roll “perfect” cigarette look-alike joints. And no way did she hold the hit long enough.

It’s a regular cigarette…no doubt about it

GreenBywater   December 1st, 2009 - 6:01 pm

Uhm…ever heard of an herb grinder? I’m pretty sure those were around a half-century ago. Also, we see her take one hit/draw, so it truthfully can’t be determined from this clip.

Also, the ability to determine the quality of Marilyn’s rolling abilities can’t really be debated, as the clip only shows the item for a short time.

Though, I like that you don’t debate the rest of my points regarding the absurd illegality, double standard, etc. =)

She’s f’d up on something, that’s for sure.

How many people would pay for, or watch, a clip (no pun intended) headlined, “Marilyn Monroe Smoking a Cigarette”?

It’s hard to tell what she’s smoking, but she’s actin’ like sumthin’ special was put in that thar cigar-ette, or her martini.

This isn’t all that shocking is it? MM was of such high moral ground and all.

WHO CARES……………!!!!

Whose the trash that would sell that crap?

What’s the big deal? Cannabis has been around since the beginning. The Bible, for you people who still believe, those who don’t can kiss off! But the Bible says that God put every seed on earth that man would ever need.

God make Cannabis – Man makes Alcohol!

who… cares…

Bloodhound….God also made the ingredients for alcohol just as he made the
ingredients for rolling papers.
If you pause the film near the end it looks like a tan cig filter. It wasn’t
uncommon for us to pass a cigarett around back in those days.

democratsarefascists   December 2nd, 2009 - 4:53 pm

Um, yeaahh…..I know a lot of people who roll their own tobacco, even now.

I’m not willing to accept this person’s say-so. It’s not that I don’t think she was a walking pharmacy. She was. I just think this “found” footage a tad convenient, coming at a time when the legalize push is at its height.

And really, how would you go about telling Monroe wasn’t smashed on any one of the many other things she abused?

Anna   December 2nd, 2009 - 11:01 pm

It’s a freaking Pall Mall or a Lucky Strike. It’s a filterless cigarette. They used to be very common.
