20 Celebrities Who Swear By Marijuana
These marijuana enthusiasts won’t mind spending their time rolling and flying high.
Marijuana has been used in the United States for over a century, and during that time, it has had a highly complex relationship with acceptance.
While some people find it exhilarating and wholeheartedly embrace it, others detest it entirely and find it morally abhorrent.
Marijuana struggles with acceptance on a global scale. Some countries have legalized the drug for medical or recreational purposes.
Other countries, however, aren't looking to hop on the marijuana train anytime soon and even impose hefty penalties for those found possessing it.
The U.S., for example, merges both acceptance and rejection, as marijuana is legal in some states despite being illegal under federal law.
Some celebrities, however, won't let the negative perception of marijuana stop them from enjoying their slice of high.
They use weed for different reasons. For some, they claim it's for inspiration, while others say it helps them cope with life's struggles.
Miley Cyrus, for example, has shared that marijuana has positively influenced her life and career. Jay-Z has also stated that it helps him think.
Whatever their reasons may be, these stars won't hesitate to roll and smoke.
