Cannabis use among celebrities is nothing new. From iconic musicians to Hollywood actors and even athletes, many well-known public figures have spoken openly about their relationship with cannabis. While recreational use still carries a stigma in some circles, an increasing number of stars are using their platform to advocate for medical cannabis—and to share how it’s helped them manage anxiety, chronic pain, sleep disorders, and other health challenges.

In Canada, where medical cannabis is federally legal and regulated under the Cannabis Act, the conversation around cannabis has shifted significantly. This cultural shift is echoed globally as more celebrities use their voices to normalize cannabis and, in many cases, champion access for medical patients. Some stars are even diving into cannabis entrepreneurship, launching their own product lines or investing in cannabis brands focused on wellness, pain relief, and mental health.

Take Snoop Dogg, for example. He’s been a long-time cannabis user and advocate, turning his passion into business ventures with cannabis-focused investments and brands. Seth Rogen, a proud Canadian and outspoken cannabis supporter, co-founded Houseplant—a company built around cannabis culture and lifestyle. Then there's Whoopi Goldberg, who launched a line of cannabis products specifically to help with menstrual pain. These aren't just celebrity endorsements—they’re examples of real people using cannabis to manage everyday health concerns.

Even athletes are coming forward. Former NBA star Al Harrington turned to medical cannabis to help with pain management after his playing career and now runs a cannabis company that supports safe, informed access. UFC fighter Nate Diaz has publicly used CBD to reduce inflammation and support recovery after fights. These testimonies break down the stereotype that cannabis users are lazy or unmotivated—many are high-performing individuals who rely on cannabis as part of a balanced health routine.

Of course, many celebrities use cannabis simply to unwind, relax, or inspire creativity. Artists like Rihanna and Lady Gaga have both expressed how cannabis plays a role in their creative process and helps them manage the stress of fame. For some, it’s a personal lifestyle choice; for others, it’s a natural alternative to traditional pharmaceuticals.

What this tells us is that cannabis isn’t just for one “type” of person. It’s not just for the young, the counter-culture, or the terminally ill. Today, cannabis is being explored by a diverse range of individuals—celebrities included—for a variety of reasons, from mental health support to chronic pain relief to simply enhancing their quality of life.
