Top 10 Celebrity Potheads

The perks of fame allow for plenty of Mary Jane for these famous people. Join http://www.WatchMojo.com as we count down our picks for the Top 10 Celebrity Potheads.

For this list, we’re focusing on celebrities that have gone on record about their continual use of that kush, that green, that giggle weed.

#10: Justin Timberlake

Believe it or not, the man behind the album entitled “Future Sex/Love Sounds” likes to get down with a little Mary Jane. However, Justin Timberlake doesn’t puff the magic dragon for inspiration - he reportedly embraces marijuana to briefly escape his thoughts. In a Playboy interview, the pop star noted that “Sometimes I have a brain that needs to be turned off. Some people are just better high.” Maybe that’s why JT hasn’t faded away into obscurity like so many other boy band stars; he allows his brain to “rest.”

#9: Morgan Freeman

Fact: this elderly actor loves him some weed, and he’s been pushing for legalization across the board. In 2015, Morgan Freeman actually told “The Daily Beast” that he’ll “eat it, drink it, smoke it, snort it,” which either makes him even more awesome or in need of a little cool down time with Justin Timberlake. Regardless, Freeman has always portrayed cool characters, and now we know what else he was doing when he was driving Miss Daisy. "Why good morning, Miss Daisy, how would you like to get high as hell?"

#8: Miley Cyrus

Once a sweet little Disney star, today, she seems to be a perpetually naked performer with an affinity for wakin’ and bakin.’ Yes, it’s true, Miley Cyrus does in fact enjoy a bit of marijuana, and we know this because she likes to let the world know. You might say that she’s a modern day prophet a la Bob Marley, only without the healing music and humble persona. But hey, this ain’t the ‘70s, and today pop stars can easily share their message of marijuana through a variety of media. But we have to ask, Miley: is weed keeping you chill or igniting a train wreck?

#7: Brad Pitt

Given that this American movie star has long been recognized for his healthy physique, one may not immediately associate him with being a massive stoner. Why? Because the average stoner is typically couch-bound (or at least that’s how the media portrays them), while Brad Pitt travels the world to make films. Even so, Pitt once told “The Hollywood Reporter” that fame led him to the weed: “I was hiding out from the celebrity thing, I was smoking way too much dope, I was sitting on the couch and just turning into a doughnut and I really got irritated with myself.” Well, you made it, Brad; you can go easy on the good stuff!

#6: Jennifer Aniston

Kind of ironic that Rachel Green likes a puff of the green stuff. Well, back in the day, that’s exactly what she was doing, and the former “Friends” star has gone on record about her appreciation for the stickiest of the icky. In fact, when she was married to Brad Pitt, Aniston told “Rolling Stone” that “I enjoy cannabis,” which is perhaps the most PC way for an American sweetheart to convey her love for the feeling of being completely blazed. However, Aniston went on to say that she wouldn’t call herself a pothead, but we're still including her 'cause this is our list.

#5: Tommy Chong

Some celebrities get high on their own supply, however the smart ones send Hollywood the bill. Making a movie career on the concept of comedy and weed, Tommy Chong first made his big screen debut with 1978’s “Up in Smoke,” and he continues to capitalize on his stoner persona to this very day. And hey, why not? Chong’s legacy is laced with dope, and he’ll forever be one of the quintessential stars of stoner humor. And here’s a fun fact: he once shared a cell with Jordan Belfort, the subject of Martin Scorsese’s 2013 film “The Wolf of Wall Street,” but Belfort was apparently more of a pill guy.

#4: Seth Rogen

In 2014, this actor-director made international headlines for his controversial film “The Interview,” which allowed the entire world to experience the same collective thought during Seth Rogen interviews: “Goddamn, this guy must smoke a lot of weed.” And yes, Rogen has occasionally referenced a respect for marijuana on-screen, and by “occasionally,” we mean “all the time.” Knocked Up. Pineapple Express. Rogen has probably smoked just as much movie weed as personal weed. Well, almost. Following in the footsteps of Tommy Chong, Rogen lives and dies by the kush, and we keep paying him to make us laugh, along with his Canadian pothead compatriot by the name of Jay Baruchel.

#3: Willie Nelson

As the author of a book entitled “Roll Me Up and Smoke Me When I Die,” this musician has probably seen and smoked more pot that anybody on our list - probably combined! Born and raised in Texas, Willie Nelson led the outlaw country movement of the ‘70s, and it’s safe to say that he sparked up a few joints along the way. One can only imagine the clouds of weed that surrounded Willie in his pot-smoking prime - however one could argue that his entire life could be labeled as his “pot-smoking prime,” because someone like Willie Nelson does not retire from the weed game. All joking aside, he’s long been an advocate peace on earth and remains a most influential pothead.

#2: Bob Marley

Much like Willie Nelson, this Jamaican legend offered messages of peace and love through his music, and marijuana undoubtedly played a major role in his life. In the reggae classic entitled “Kaya,” Bob Marley sang about the joys of a morning sun, and also the joys of the sweet, sweet ganja. In essence, he viewed marijuana as a biblical sacrament, a way to reveal your true self. Decades after his untimely death, Marley continues to heal the world through his music while inspiring various forms of potheads to fire one up.

Before we unveil our top pick, here are a few honorable mentions.
- Lil Wayne
- Wiz Khalifa
- Doug Benson
- Charlize Theron
- Zach Galifianakis

#1: Snoop Dogg

Back in 1981, this man was just a Snoop Puppy when Bob Marley passed away. But he must have been touched by a few ounces of mystical marijuana dust, as he transformed into the greatest celebrity pothead the world has ever known. Born Calvin Cordozar Broadus, Jr., Snoop Dogg came to prominence in the early ‘90s, mainly for his G-funk music, but also for his blossoming weed persona. With each passing year, Snoop has blessed us with poignant tales of weed and never stops amazing us with his weed passion. For any stoner lucky enough to smoke a blunt with Snoop, one can expect the ultimate high and an experience you won’t soon forget.
