New film shows Marilyn Monroe smoking pot
December 3rd, 2009 - 9:11 am ICT by IANS ( 1 comment )Los Angeles, Dec 3 (DPA) A newly discovered film clip which purportedly shows Hollywood legend Marilyn Monroe smoking pot is to be put up for sale on eBay by a collector who says he paid $275,000 for the footage.
Keya Morgan, a New York-based collector, who had been making a documentary about Monroe’s death, said the footage was taken by a friend of Monroe’s sometime in the late 50s.
The Monroe friend, who is only identified by the name “Gretchen,” retains the copyright.
“I got (the pot). It was mine. It was just passed around. It was not a party. It was just a get-together. You know, come over and hang out,” she was quoted as saying by the Los Angeles Times.
In addition to showing Monroe smoking, it also shows her relaxing on a couch, giggling and bizarrely smelling her armpit.
Monroe died apparently of an overdose of barbiturates in 1962 at age 36.

After several viewings of this film clip, it’s plain to see that the cigarette has a filter tip on it….last time I heard, marijuana joints didn’t have filter tips!! Let’s let her rest in peace and stop all this stupid ‘is it or isn’t it’ talk..she’s enjoying a FILTER TIP cigarette with friends…enough said!!!!!!
