20 Celebrities Who Swear By Marijuana
Marijuana has been in use in the United States for over a century, and in that time, it has had a highly complex relationship with acceptance.
While some people find it exhilarating and wholeheartedly accept it, others detest it entirely and find it morally abhorring.
Marijuana struggles with acceptance on a worldwide 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 have hefty penalties for those found possessing it.
The US, for example, merges both acceptance and unacceptance, as marijuana is legal in some states despite being illegal in federal law.
Some celebrities, however, won't let the negative perception of marijuana stop them from getting their slice of high.
They use weed for different reasons. For some of them, they claim it's for inspiration. Others say it helps them deal with life's struggles.
Miley Cyrus, for example, has shared that marijuana has positively influenced their 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.
