High Profile: Celebrities Who Are Active and Outspoken Marijuana Users

Marijuana has steadily moved into the mainstream as laws change and social attitudes evolve, despite it still being illegal on a federal level. This doesn't stop conversations around it from being increasingly open, especially among celebrities. In fact, they are often among the first to share their own experiences as well as advocate for its benefits.

Some famous figures are outspoken supporters of marijuana, crediting it with creativity or help with pain management.
