Grammy Award-winning musician Ziggy Marley is a very creative guy, a dedicated social activist and, as it turns out, a comic book lover. Marley, 42, made an appearance at WonderCon 2011 to promote "Marijuanaman," a comic book superhero that he created in association with Image Comics.

Does anyone else find it a tad odd that marijuana will land ya in the pokey, but ya can drink 'til ya puke night after night. Hmmmm . . . .

What about drinking & driving? Alcohol is responsible for what, 10,000 hiway related deaths per year? What percentage of serious accidents involve alcohol? Is it 20-25%? Maybe more? What about the drunk and mean SOB that beats his wife cause he 's tore up from the floor up? How many friends have killed another friend due to alcohol impairment? Brothers kill brothers when alcohol is involved. Happens all the time. So, do any of you know any pot heads? When I was sucking on a bong, I got mellow; the exact opposite of aggressive. Yeah, I was just wasted, and it was all good. I wanted to kill some Twinkies, maybe some pizza, but never another person. Stoned folks ain 't arguing with anyone.

Stoned peeps just wanna chill, laff some, watch Beavis & Butthead, listen to some jams and
