However, crusaders like Kirsten Dunst aim to break the silence by starting a public, weed-centered dialogue. Yesterday, the star readily admitted to smoking pot, inhaling it and liking it (she’s no George W.)! She cited genius and apparent pothead Carl Sagan as her gateway into the gateway drug.

Pictures of other stars like Mischa, Paris and Drew Barrymore (shocker!) smoking joints have infiltrated the gossip rags. So are these celebs taking a cue from the virile pot habits of college students, or should we start photographing our own pot odysseys for public consumption?

In any case, the college life is probably as close to the star life as we’re ever gonna get, so light up and hallucinate the paparazzi all you want.
