Cannabis use has become increasingly normalized, both in Canada and around the world—especially as more people turn to it for health and wellness. While celebrity lifestyles are often far removed from daily life, their openness about cannabis use can help reduce stigma and spark important conversations—especially for Canadians exploring medical cannabis through proper legal channels.

In Canada, access to medical cannabis is regulated by Health Canada and requires medical documentation from a licensed healthcare professional. At GrowLegally, we guide patients every step of the way—from medical cannabis assessments to prescription renewals and growing licences.

Here are seven female celebrities who’ve publicly spoken about their cannabis use, each contributing in their own way to the shifting perception of cannabis in our culture.

1. Lady Gaga
Lady Gaga has openly shared that cannabis plays a role in her creative process and pain management. She’s mentioned using it to ease the chronic pain of fibromyalgia, a condition that affects many Canadians. Her honesty resonates with patients who explore medical cannabis for similar reasons—whether for pain, inflammation, or relief from long-term conditions.

2. Miley Cyrus
Miley Cyrus has had a long and complex relationship with cannabis. She once said she smoked “as much as Snoop Dogg,” but later took a break to focus on clarity and balance. Her openness about using—and stepping away from—cannabis highlights how personal and evolving a cannabis journey can be.

3. Whoopi Goldberg
An outspoken supporter of medical cannabis, Whoopi Goldberg has shared her experiences with using it for menstrual pain and overall wellness. She even co-founded a cannabis brand geared toward women’s health. Although the brand has since closed, her advocacy continues to empower women exploring alternative symptom management options.

4. Kirsten Dunst
Known for her role as Mary Jane in Spider-Man, Kirsten Dunst once shared that she has a more relaxed view on cannabis than many. Her perspective helps normalize cannabis use, especially for adults who value personal choice and informed access—much like the model in place for patients with medical cannabis prescriptions in Canada.

5. Natalie Portman
Natalie Portman has admitted to experimenting with cannabis during her time at Harvard but has since moved on from it. Her story reflects the fact that cannabis use—medical or otherwise—is not one-size-fits-all. In Canada, patients work with their doctor or a cannabis clinic to determine if it’s a fit for their health needs.

6. Megan Fox
Megan Fox has been candid about her appreciation for cannabis and has described herself as a supporter of legalization. While she’s become more private about it in recent years, her earlier advocacy still plays a role in breaking down outdated stereotypes about cannabis use—especially among women.

7. Oprah Winfrey
Oprah once revealed that she used cannabis—but last smoked in 1982. While it’s been decades since, her brief admission reminded people that cannabis has long been part of adult life for many individuals, regardless of background or profession.

‍
Seeing well-known women speak openly about cannabis helps shift public perception from shame to acceptance. In Canada, this shift has empowered more patients to ask important questions: Could medical cannabis help manage my symptoms? Is there a legal and safe way to access it?

That’s where we come in. At GrowLegally, we help patients across Canada navigate the process—from getting a cannabis prescription to applying for a personal production licence or accessing cannabis patient support services.
