Movie Stars
Did you know that many of your favorite showbiz performers use cannabis? Here are some famous quotes:
-
Megan Fox: “I can’t tell you how much bullshit I’ve been through because I will openly say that I smoke weed. People look at it like it’s this crazy, hippie, f*****d-up thing to do. And it’s not. I hope they legalize it, and when they do, I’ll be the first f*****g person in line to buy my pack of joints.”
-
Billy Bob Thornton: “I’ve never heard of anybody smoking a joint and going on a rampage. It makes you lie around on the floor and look at the ceiling. What’s wrong with that?”
-
Arnold Schwarzenegger: “That is not a drug, it’s a leaf.”
Comedians
Comedians come up with many “high” quotes that are funny. Here are a few samples:
-
Steve Martin: “I used to smoke marijuana. But I’ll tell you something: I would only smoke it in the late evening. Oh, occasionally the early evening, but usually the late evening—or the mid-evening. Just the early evening, mid-evening, and late evening. Occasionally, early afternoon, early mid-afternoon, or perhaps the late-mid-afternoon. Oh, sometimes, the early-mid-late-early morning…But never at dusk.”
-
Bill Hicks: “Why is marijuana against the law? It grows naturally upon our planet. Doesn’t the idea of making nature against the law seem to you a bit…unnatural?”
-
Dave Chappelle: “I don’t do drugs, though. Just weed.”
Authors
Many users consume cannabis for medicinal reasons, such as relieving stress and anxiety.
Advocates of legalizing marijuana use include writers, which is what some of the following stoner quotes reveal:
-
Stephen King: “I think that marijuana should not only be legal, I think it should be a cottage industry. It would be wonderful for the state of Maine. There’s some pretty good homegrown dope. I’m sure it would be even better if you could grow it with fertilizers and have greenhouses.”
-
Hunter S. Thompson: “I have always loved marijuana. It has been a source of joy and comfort to me for many years. And I still think of it as a basic staple of life, along with beer and ice and grapefruits -and millions of Americans agree with me.”
-
Kurt Vonnegut: “Alcohol and marijuana, if used in moderation, plus loud, usually low-class music, make stress and boredom infinitely more bearable.”
Musicians
Here are some stoner vibes from legendary performers whose use of weed isn’t a secret:
-
Bob Marley: “I do smoke, but I don’t go through all this trouble just because I want to make my drug of choice legal. It’s about personal freedom. We should have the right in this country to do what we want if we don’t hurt anybody.”
-
Snoop Dogg: “So what if I’m smokin’ weed onstage and doing what I gotta do? It’s not me shooting nobody, stabbing nobody, killing nobody. It’s a peaceful gesture, and they have to respect that and appreciate that.”
-
John Lennon: “Marijuana was the main thing that promoted non-violence amongst the youth because as soon as they have it, first of all, you have to laugh at your first experiences. There’s nothing else you do but laugh, and then, when you’ve got over that and you realize that people aren’t laughing at you, but with you, it’s a community thing, and nothing would ever stop it, nothing on earth is going to stop it, and the only thing to do is to find out how to use it for good, or for best.”
-
Melissa Etheridge: “Instead of taking five or six of the prescriptions, I decided to go the natural route and smoke marijuana.”

This would be the shit that they birthed.”
-
Smokey, played by Chris Tucker in Friday (1995): “I know you don’t smoke weed, I know this, but I’m gonna get you high today, ’cause it’s Friday; you ain’t got no job… and you ain’t got sh*t to do.”
