Padma Lakshmi

In a Jan 2025 video with her daughter, Padma Lakshmi hinted that she does smoke weed, and her child pokes fun at it! The pair did a viral trend where they run, and the other roasts them. During this video, her daughter joked “Suspect says she only smokes weed for her back,” to which Laksmi laughs super hard and says “And to fall asleep!”

Lake Bell

Sharing her thoughts during a 2022 Cann x Jane panel on normalizing cannabis, actress and director Lake Bell explained, “I am straight up a better parent when I’m just two Canns in. I’m like on their level. I’m just like, ‘That is a f—ing crazy dinosaur!’ Like, ‘Let’s get on the ground right now and be f—ing crazy dinosaurs, let’s open some presents. F— it.’ I become literally a kid.”

Rihanna

Rihanna has always been outspoken about her love for Mary Jane, and when she had to go on a hiatus during her pregnancy, she told Vogue, “I was bracing myself for something insane because I knew I wouldn’t have my usual coping mechanism; I can’t just go and smoke a joint right now.” Now that her bundle of joy has entered the world, we’re sure she’s enjoyed a doob or two.

Jane Fonda

Hollywood legend and mom of three Jane Fonda revealed she uses weed medicinally, saying, “I use a [weed] pen that limits how many doses you get, which is way better than taking sleeping pills… But I was never majorly into pot, to tell you the truth. However, I have osteoarthritis, so things that help with pain and inflammation are good.”

Anne Hathaway

Anne Hathaway is a stoner mom, but she prefers to keep it on the DL. Andy Cohen asked the mom of two during an appearance on his show, “There was a rumor in 2015 that a photo exists and was circulating of you with a massive blunt. On a scale of one to 10, how big of a stoner is Anne Hathaway?”
 
The actress cheekily replied, “I’m not a little one, but here’s the thing, here’s the thing, though. I’m a parent and I don’t feel like getting arrested, so I’m gonna say ‘zero.’ I guess I should have just pleaded the fifth on that one. But I don’t have a card or anything.”

Kristen Dunst

Mom of two Kristen Dunst has made her progressive opinion on marijuana known.

She told Britain’s Live, “I do like weed. I have a different outlook on marijuana than America does,” continuing, “I’ve never been a major smoker, but I think America’s view on weed is ridiculous. I mean — are you kidding me? If everyone smoked weed, the world would be a better place. I’m not talking about being stoned all day, though. I think if it’s not used properly, it can hamper your creativity and close you up inside.”

Alanis Morissette

The Canadian-born Grammy winner and mom of three has said that cannabis gives her a creativity boost. “I’ve often felt telepathic and receptive to inexplicable messages my whole life. I can stave those off when I’m not high,” she told High Times. “When I’m high — well, they come in and there’s less of a veil, so to speak. So if ever I need some clarity… or a quantum leap in terms of writing something, it’s a quick way for me to get to it.”

She’s also been open about her struggles with post-partum depression, telling People, “I’m used to being the Rock of Gibraltar, providing, protecting and maneuvering,” she said. “It had me question everything. I’ve known myself to be a really incredible decision-maker and a leader that people can rely on. [Now] I can barely decide what to eat for dinner.”

Charlize Theron

Charlize Theron seems like one of the most chill celeb moms around, but the mom of two has lived with insomnia for a large part of her life. A self-proclaimed wake-and-baker, Theron cut back on cannabis when she hit her 30s, but since her insomnia has reared its ugly head again, she said she’s testing edibles with none other than her mom.

“[My mom] showed up at my house, literally drove in her little tennis outfit and brought me a little container and just left it on my kitchen table,” Theron told Jimmy Fallon in 2018. “She was like, ‘So I got some blueberry-covered chocolate ones, but if you want it faster-acting, you should go for the mints. Those you suck, and it works faster.’” We love a supportive stoner mom.

Erykah Badu

Soul music visionary Erykah Badu has never been shy about her cannabis use. The mother of Seven, Mars, and Puma even named her backing band The Cannabinoids.

Badu has been a vocal cannabis advocate ever since her first album, Baduizm, dropped back in 1997 and was one of the headliners of Weedmaps Higher Together concert, a COVID-era virtual celebration of April 20, the unofficial stoner holiday.

Gwyneth Paltrow

Though it may be surprising to some, the actor cum luxury, wellness, and lifestyle guru is a cannabis fan. Paltrow, who shares her two kids Apple and Moses with Coldplay frontman Chris Martin, has used her Goop platform to not only hawk CBD products but also to speak up about the importance of cannabis as medicine.

Kate Hudson

If there were ever any question that Kate Hudson was an out-and-proud cannabis user, her cannabis-themed 40th birthday party provided a definitive answer. Hudson has three children, Ryder, Rani Rose, and Bingham, and has also admitted to smoking with her movie star icon mom, Goldie Hawn. The apple doesn’t fall far from the tree in this Hollywood power family!

Kristen Bell

Everyone’s favorite Hollywood Everymom, Kristen Bell, hasn’t shied away from discussing her love of weed. The mom of two shut down critics after admitting she vapes in front of her sober husband Dax Shepard (who quickly defended her decision to use cannabis even though he abstains) ending with a classic sorry not sorry line: “Sorry guys, I smoke weed. I like it.”

Lisa Bonet

Ever since her time on The Cosby Show and A Different World, Lisa Bonet has exuded a free-spirited, bohemian vibe, so it should come as no surprise that she uses cannabis. 

Zoe Kravitz, Bonet’s daughter with ex-husband Lenny Kravitz, even said that the first time her mom busted her with weed, they ended up smoking a joint together.

Madonna

Madonna has been breaking rules and pushing boundaries since her debut album made her a superstar in 1983. She is the proud mother of six kids and has been vocal about her cannabis use for years. For her 62nd birthday, she even celebrated in Jamaica with a joint and a huge tray of bud.

Martha Stewart

The proverbial domestic goddess might not seem like a weed smoker, but Martha Stewart loves the herb. Since developing an unlikely friendship with Snoop Dogg, the mom of one has gained a reputation as America’s Cool Weed Grandma. In 2019 at the 37th Food & Wine Classic in Aspen, an audience member asked Stewart her favorite thing to share with Snoop. “Well, um, maybe — maybe a little smoke,” the icon replied. The audience, understandably, went wild.

Megan Fox

Megan Fox, a mom of three kids with ex Brian Austin Green, is not ashamed of her cannabis use. In a 2009 interview with British GQ she said, “It’s all propaganda. 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, hippy, fucked-up thing to do. And it’s not! I hope they legalize it, and when they do I’ll be the first fucking person in line to buy my pack of joints.”

Melissa Etheridge

Mom of four and Grammy winner Melissa Etheridge has been vocal about the role marijuana played in her recovery from breast cancer, but the singer didn’t stop smoking when she went into remission — she segued her appreciation of weed into a full-on cannabis company, Etheridge Farms. 

Susan Sarandon

Mother of three Susan Sarandon might be the O.G. of the weed-smoking Hollywood elite. She told High Times that cannabis has helped her to be more “present” in the modern world and to make the most of her downtime. “That’s the great thing about smoking weed: If you lead a very, very busy life, for me, it really makes the most of your weekend. It like, triples, your weekends. If you only have certain windows to get high, it allows you to slow down and really be there.”

Whoopi Goldberg

Whoopi Goldberg is a self-described activist who stands up for what she believes in, and one of those things is access to cannabis. In an op-ed the mother of one penned for the Orange County Register, Goldberg championed weed as medicine and touted her love for the vape pen she uses to treat her glaucoma. 

Frances McDormand

Back in 2003, High Times spoke with Frances McDormand about smoking weed, to which she talked about how she doesn’t understand the stigma around it. 

“I’m a recreational pot smoker. Because it’s not a constant in my life, I don’t say it should be made legal so it’s more available. But from a medical point of view… why should [patients] have to look too hard for the thing that makes them better? So from that point of view, it’s like,‘Please, what is the problem?’” the mom of one said.
