Celebrities that openly admit to smoking cannabis challenge those stereotypes, but can also find themselves being scrutinized by the media. These celebrities don’t consider marijuana a hard drug like heroin or cocaine, and many of them become pot activists in a way, as they go on shows and discuss their casual cannabis use.
Bob Marley’s image is possibly the most associated with marijuana use. Bob was a Jamaican reggae artist whose hits include Jammin, No Women, No Cry, Buffalo Soldier and many more. He is one of the world’s best selling artists and an international superstar, even after his 1981 death. He was also a devoted Rastafarian, who consumed marijuana in a spiritual act, in order to clear his mind, obtain peacefulness and insight. This would become a part of Bob Marley and his image that would transcend time. He would also incorporate both cannabis and the Rasta lifestyle into his music.
Snoop Dogg and Marijuana go together like bread and butter or milk and cereal or… Snoop Dogg and Marijuana. Snoop Dog (or Snoop Lion) is one of the most famous and recognizable hip-hop artists of all time. Cannabis has been a part of Snoop Dogg’s image since the start of his career. He was discovered by Dr Dre and released his debut album, DoggieStyle, in 1993. In 1997, his album the Dogfather was certified double platinum. He attempted to quit smoking pot in 2002 but that did not stick. As of 2013, Snoop Dogg claims that he smokes 80 blunts a day.
