Top 7 Celebrities Who Smoke Weed

Many successful people smoke weed. You’ll find them in many professions, especially in the arts and entertainment industry. Let’s look at some popular celebrities who enjoy weed and see how they’ve affected our culture.

 

Morgan Freeman

“They can’t continue to say that it’s a dangerous drug when it’s safer than alcohol.”
– Morgan Freeman

 

The incredible career of Morgan Freeman has touched almost everyone who has enjoyed film and television in the last few decades. This megastar has been in Driving Miss Daisy, The Shawshank Redemption, Unforgiven, The Dark Knight, Lean on Me, and many other hit movies. He loves the dank stuff, which helps him deal with the pain of fibromyalgia. While he does not have a favorite type or strain, Morgan is on the record, stating he will “eat it, drink it, smoke it, and snort it.”

 

Morgan is on the side of marijuana legalization. He recognizes cannabis can work as a positive influence in our society, and pointless criminalization ruins far more lives than any weed ever could.

 

Danny Devito

“Even if one doesn't smoke pot, one has to see the benefits of decriminalizing it! Still No Smoking and Driving b****es. Stay at the party!” – Danny Devito Tweet 2010

 

Danny Devito has been a fan of the sticky icky for some time, at least since 1988, when he worked on the movie Twins where he famously loaded a cigar with weed that he and Arnold shared. He discussed it on Jimmy Kimmel Live, stating they got super high and had quite a good time. He was a nominee at the 4th Annual 420 Music & Awards Show.

 

Danny has enjoyed weed for decades. Along with the former Governor of California, he’s gotten stoned with Michael Douglas and other famous people over the years.

 

Miley Ray Cyrus

“All I want to do is yoga and hike, and smoke weed. It's funny.” – Miley Cyrus

 

Miley has been on many television shows, including Hannah Montana and Doc, as well as in movies like Big Fish. As an entertainer, she has performed on the MTV Video Music Awards and her Bangerz album (2013) got a nomination for a Grammy Award, and she has collaborated with performers like Lil Naz X, Arianna Grande, Billy Idol, Joan Jett, and Lana Del Ray. She is a pop icon and has millions of fans.

 

Miley has discussed her use of cannabis several times in interviews, including on The Joe Rogan Experience and with SiriusXM’s Radio Andy. Unlike Danny Devito, she avoids it when working. 

 

Jennifer Aniston

“Pace yourself.” – Advice from Jennifer Aniston to a person about to smoke weed for the first time.

 

Jennifer Aniston has starred in many films and television series, including the hit series Friends, and has been open about smoking weed for decades. She discussed cannabis during a 2001 interview with Rolling Stone Magazine and in 2019 on The Howard Stern Show, and smoked with her ex husband, Brad Pitt, when they were married. She once played a cannabis smuggler in the 2013 film We’re the Millers.

 

Jennifer supports cannabis legalization and considers it to be like many other substances that people enjoy, harmless when used with care.

 

Bill Murray

“I find it quite ironic that the most dangerous thing about weed is getting caught with it.” – Bill Murray

 

With roots in early Saturday Night Live, this world-class actor and comedian has been a weed lover for most of his adult life. Star of films like Ghostbusters, Groundhog Day, The Monuments Men, and dozens more, he once planned to be a doctor. A single ill-timed joke at an airport led to an arrest for marijuana possession, forcing him down a different career path. 

 

A supporter of marijuana legalization, Bill once suggested Operation Pothole, a program that would repair roads funded by taxation on sales of marijuana flower, edibles, concentrates, pre rolled cones, and other cannabis-related products. Legalization in some states has happened since Bill said that. But sadly for car owners, there has been no widespread adoption of Operation Pothole-like programs. Who you gonna call?

 

Jay Z

"This that s**t you roll up, like a lil’ tight J to / Sip your lil’ wine, whatever your vice is y’know." – a lyric from “Party Life” by Jay Z.

 

Jay Z is a successful rap artist, musician, entrepreneur, and record producer with numerous accomplishments. He holds a record number of Grammy Awards (23) among rap artists and is listed in the “Top 100 Greatest Artists of All Time” by Rolling Stone Magazine. This world-famous talent is the Chief Brand Strategist for California-based cannabis company Caliva and has his own brand of weed, Monogram.

 

Jay Z loves weed and supports cannabis legalization and causes like the Reform Alliance, for example, which works toward common sense probation and parole standards.

 

Ben And Jerry’s

“Wouldn’t it be nice to have pot like the old days?” – Ben Cohen

 

Ok, these are two people but their company is a single highly successful entity, so it counts. And what an entity it is! Jerry Greenfield and Ben Cohen are known for their frozen treats and once discussed making cannabis-infused ice cream, but so far “Cherry Garcia” is their only pot-inspired product. In 2023, Ben launched Ben’s Best Bluntz, or B3, a nonprofit cannabis brand that donates to vital social justice causes.

 

These ice cream billionaires support cannabis legalization at the federal level and clemency. See “Let's Be Blunt About Cannabis Justice” on the Ben & Jerry’s website for more information.

 

Millions More

Just like many celebrities, millions of average people use cannabis regularly. They find that weed helps them deal with pressure and relax. Or they may appreciate cannabis for other reasons, like the euphoric effect, the boost of energy, or the creativity a good buzz may bring.

 

Whatever the reason for smoking, these celebrities have made an undeniable impact on our lives, in cannabis culture, and elsewhere in society.
