Lots of people were happy to hear that smoking marijuana is now legal in some states and there are some celebrities among them. Several Hollywood stars have openly professed their love of smoking pot. While most stars don’t want to speak about any theoretical drug use, these famous figures are a bit more open about their pot-related experiences. Keep on reading and you might even be surprised.
Kirsten is very open when it comes to her love of smoking marijuana. She said: “I drink moderately, I’ve tried drugs. I do like weed. I have a different outlook on marijuana than America does. My best friend Sasha’s dad was Carl Sagan, the astronomer. He was the biggest pot smoker in the world and he was a genius.”
Oscar winner Natalie Portman admitted she “smoked weed in college.” (and by “college” she means “Harvard.”) She’s given up the habit these days, but it’s not because she didn’t like it: “I’m too old. I wish I was that cool, but I’m like an old lady now.”
In an interview with Playboy magazine, Justin Timberlake said he “absolutely” smoked weed. “The only thing pot does for me is it gets me to stop thinking,” he said. “Sometimes I have a brain that needs to be turned off. Some people are just better high.” However, the singer/actor did take a break from the bong back in 2003, after being high during the first ever episode of Punk’d. “I actually stopped smoking pot for 9 to 10 months after that. I was so stoned.”
Amber Rose and Wiz Khalifa
Now, these two are very open-minded when it comes to weed. They have declared that they’ll be raising their child in a pro-pot home. “Of course, I’m not going to be smoking right there over the baby, because smoke in general and being high is not good for a kid. None of that,” Khalifa says. “But definitely he’s going to know what it is – and he’ll know the difference between being a child and not being able to use it and being an adult and knowing how to use it.”
Not only did Whoopi Goldberg admit to smoking marijuana, but she also revealed that she smoked a “wonderful joint” before winning the Best Supporting Actress Award for “Ghost” in 1991. “I learned a great lesson, though: Never smoke pot before there’s a possibility of having to talk to a hundred million people.”
“You can Google my name and one of the first things that comes up is images of me sitting on my front porch smoking a pipe with my ex-boyfriend and my dog,” she told Vanity Fair magazine in 2012. “It was taken the day the movie (Twilight 2008) came out. I was no one. I was a kid. I had just turned 18. The next day it was like I was a delinquent slimy idiot, whereas I’m kind of a weirdo, creative Valley Girl who smokes pot. Big deal.”
The actor “liked to smoke a bit of grass” during his early days in Hollywood, as he said in an interview with Parade. “Then I got bored. I was turning into a damn doughnut, really.”
Cameron is no stranger to marijuana and she started using it in high school where she got it from Snoop Dog. “We went to high school together, [Snoop] was a year older than me,” she said. “He was very tall and skinny and wore lots of ponytails in his hair and I’m pretty sure I got weed from him. I had to have!”
Although she doesn’t use it on regular basis, Jennifer says she enjoys an occasional joint. “I enjoy it once in a while. There is nothing wrong with that. Everything in moderation. I wouldn’t call myself a pot-head,” she told Rolling Stone.
“I believe in individual rights, I mean, I would like to see everybody be able to smoke pot. That’s a waste of our money to incarcerate all those people. I’m totally a libertarian in that sense,” the actress said in a HuffPost Live interview. “It’s about education,’ the 66-year-old added. “Baby boomers know that it’s not a gateway drug and it’s not going to kill you and all those other things.”
Morgan has a difficult history with drugs and alcohol. He’s given up hard drugs these days, but he told The Guardian that he’ll “never give up the ganja,” calling it “God’s own weed.”
