What do people think about celebrities speaking out for/against marijuana legalization?

I was posting the news a bit ago and came across this article;

Pamela Anderson wants marijuana to be legalized.

The former 'Baywatch' star has written an open letter to US President-elect Barack Obama, outlining ways to make the country better.

Pamela believes cultivating the illegal substance would "save children" and help the environment.

She wrote on her official blog: "I think we should legalize marijuana, tax and monitor - farm hemp etc. This would make our borders less corrupt and then I think eventually this will be a more secure option and save children in the long run - we should be able to farm hemp in America - it's just silly. It would create jobs and be good for the environment."

Pamela also controversially suggests anyone found guilty of molesting children or possessing child pornography, should be castrated for their crimes.

She continues: "Government must castrate every molester - potential molester - err on the safe side. If any child pornography is found in anyone's possession, or anyone creating such atrocities, or if any child is brave enough to come forward (at any young age to bring attention to a potential molester - listen) they need to be taken very seriously and see that justice is served.

"The abuse is way worse than any trial could be - our children need more protection and justice seen. It needs to be PREVENTED not just punished."

It's hard to take something like that seriously, and I doubt Mr. Obama will. She makes good points about the marijuana -- but then she talks about castration and she loses me.....

So what do you think, do celebrities speaking out on the marijuana movement hurt or harm it? Are their any particular things they have said you've liked/disliked?
