To promote his new movie, Somebody Up There Likes Me, Nick Offerman (Ron Swanson, Parks and Recreation) invited his stoner buds Alison Brie (Annie, Community) and Megan Mullally (Lydia, Party Down) over to smoke some “pretend weed” out of his bongs.

Weed makes everything better including catching touchdowns passes, submitting opponents, and winning gold medals. Cannabis is the best option for athletes who want to rest and recover, eventually you’re going to see team doctors carry ounces of herb with them on team flights. Here is our list of top ten stoner athletes who represent for their favorite plant.
Sport (Years Played): Basketball (1993-2010)
Accolades: 2004 NBA Champion, 4x NBA All-Star
Famous for holding the NBA single-season record for technical fouls (he committed 41 in 2000-01), ‘Sheed is less well known for being one of the savvier players during his 15-year career (flipping the script on the laid back but dumb pothead stereotype). He was arrested with fellow Blazer Damon Stoudamire and charged with weed possession in 2002.
Sport (Years Played): Football (1986-2001)
Accolades: 2x Super Bowl Champion (1993 and 1996), 4x Pro Bowl (1992-1996), named to the NFL 1990s All-Decade team
You’ve got some smokers who only feel motivated to hit up their weed man to re-up and then you have others who are really all about the movement. Mark Stepnoski is a member of the latter group. After his football career, which included a couple Super Bowl rings with the Cowboys, Stepnoski has put his focus on advocating the legalization of marijuana. He’s a member of NORML (National Organization for the Reform of Marijuana Laws), Stepnoski’s public support of the group led his alma mater—a Catholic high school—to rescind his nomination for their hall of fame despite Mark’s success on the field. Eh, their loss.
Sport (Years Played): Pro Wrestling (1990-present)
Accolades: 2x ECW World Tag Team Champion, WWE Heavyweight Champion
Rob Van Dam has amazed wrestling audiences around the world with his aerial athleticism and martial arts skills. Throughout his wrestling career, Rob Van Dam rarely hesitated to voice his affection for cannabis — coining the popular catch-phrase, “Nobody gets higher than Rob Van Dam”. RVD was stripped of his WWE World title following his arrest for minor marijuana possession. RVD is open about his marijuana use and the need to reform America’s cannabis laws, frequently discussing the issue on his live radio show.
Our federal government prohibited this organic plant based on lies, continues to classify it among the most dangerous drugs to validate billions in funding pointless agendas, and denies it’s medical value, causing countless lives to suffer needlessly. How can anyone not care?
Sport (Years Played): Baseball (1968-1979)
Accolades: 1971 All-Star team, 1971 World Series champion, 1976 A.L. Comeback Player of the Year, No-Hitter thrown on 6/12/1970
Dock Ellis is most famous for having thrown a no-hitter while high on LSD, but he was an all-around badass baseball player, who famously did not take shit from anyone (he once intentionally hit three of the first five batters in a game).
Sport (Years Played): Baseball (2004-present)
Accolades: 2x NL Cy Young Award winner, 2010 World Series Champion, 4x All-Star
If the National Organization for the Reform of Marijuana Laws (NORML) ever starts a PETA-style celebrity campaign, Tim Lincecum would be a perfect pitchman. He looks like a stoner, talks like a stoner, has a stoner nickname (“The Freak”), and, judging by the misdemeanor pot charge he picked up in November 2009, probably is a stoner. And he’s really, really, really good at what he does. In his first four full seasons in the majors, Lincecum’s logged more than 200 innings each year, and led the National League in strikeouts three times. He’s done it all with a frame many scouts considered too small for a power pitcher, and with an unorthodox delivery that many of those same scouts thought would lead to injury. Think an occasional puff has anything to do with his prowess?
Sport (Years Played): MMA (2001-present)
Accolades: 27-7; Former Strikeforce Welterweight Champion
If there’s one group of athletes who deserve a pass when it comes to a little recreational toking, it’s gotta be MMA fighters. These dudes are subjected to some of the most brutal indignities in organized sports, and yet they’re not allowed to get high now and again? One of MMA’s respected and rising stars, Nick Diaz is known as Captain Cannabis and beloved by members of the MMA stoner community like Joe Rogan.
Sport (Years Played): Football (1995-2011)
Accolades: 1998 Heisman Trophy, 2002 1st team All Pro, 2002 Pro Bowl MVP, 10,000 Rushing Yards Club member
Football x marijuana = Ricky Williams. No other athlete has ever received as much coverage and created as much controversy for their marijuana use as the stoner NFL running back. Ricky’s love of the ganja led to his first retirement in August of 2004. This decision came as Williams had already reportedly failed three drug tests and was facing a one-year ban from the NFL. While away from the league, he studied holistic medicine at the California College of Ayurveda that fall in Grass Valley, Calif and openly used marijuana saying it was a form of psychotherapy treatment for his social anxiety disorder.
Sport (Years Played): Bodybuilding (1968-1980)
Accolades: 1968 Mr. Universe, 7x Mr. Olympia (1970-1975, 1980)
The same man with one of the craziest life stories ever (bodybuilder/actor/governor) has also been one of the biggest influences on the marijuana movement in this country. Aside from lighting up back in his younger days, Schwarzenegger changed the whole game in 2011 when, while serving as California governor, he reduced the charge for carrying an ounce or less of marijuana to an infraction rather than a misdemeanor. Meaning people found with that amount would only face a fine of $100 and would not have the offense appear on their criminal record.
Sport (Years Played): Football (1996-present)
Accolades: 1998 Offensive Rookie of the Year, 7x Pro Bowler, Record for most TDs in a season (23), Fifth on the All-Time TD list (154) and All-Time Receiving Yards list (14,858)
Randy Moss was the cool stoner version of T.O. and Chad Ochochinco before those guys were making headlines for their antics. Back in ’96, before reporting to jail to serve a 30-day sentence for a battery conviction, Moss lit up an L and later tested positive for THC during his bid. As a result, his sentence was extended by 60 days, Florida State revoked Moss’ scholarship, and he was subsequently dismissed from the university. Moss had another positive test—administered by the NFL—in 2001 but he passed on the other tests throughout his career despite admitting to using the drug in a 2005 interview with Bryant Gumbel.
Sport (Years Played): Swimming (2002-present)
Accolades: 22 Olympic medals including 18 gold
Ahh, the most infamous bong rip in sports history. After becoming a media sensation by winning a record eight gold medals at the 2008 Summer Olympics in Beijing, Phelps was seen as an American hero who could pretty much do no wrong. Well, right until a photo of him using a bong at a University of South Carolina house party was released by the British tabloid News of the World in January 2009. As a result, Phelps received a three-month suspension from USA Swimming and Kellogg’s said they would not renew their endorsement of the Olympian. Bad move by Kellogg, Joe Rogan and other stoners love cereal.

Enjoy this Grandma’s Boy compilation of the coolest and friendliest weed slanger in the neighborhood, Dante.
Mr. Cheezle: I had a dream last night. I was a snake slithering through the grass, until I came upon a dead elk, and I climbed into his soul, and its there I stayed until morning, which meant I will underestimate someone very close to me.
Dante: Wow… where do you get your weed?
Mr. Cheezle: From you, Dante.
Dante: Oh… THAT’S RIGHT! What’s up, Mr. Cheezle!
A hilarious scene from Harold and Kumar, where Kumar hooks up with a big bag of Mary Jane.
She’s everything he wants, until she can’t make coffee.
A clip from a BBC Special on how cannabinoid receptors work and the density of receptors in the brain and body. Scientists map the cannabinoid receptors in the brain by using a radioactive drug that attaches to the receptors.
Starting in the 1920s, the youth of America started to fall in love with jazz music. Cab Calloway and other jazz musicians were public supporters of cannabis during the Reefer Madness propaganda. The older generation feared that their kids would be negatively influenced by marijuana and jazz because they were ignorant, brainwashed, and racist.
Have you ever met that funny Reefer Man?
He smokes that reefer, he gets high, then he flies to the sky

When you think of iconic stoners, slackers like Jay and Silent Bob and characters in Judd Apatow movies come to mind. Rarely do people tack on the term on a hot chick. The truth is, female weed smokers are criminally under-represented in Hollywood. They’re in stoner movies, but they’re often playing the cute and responsible sober girl to the sweatpants-wearing, burnout boyfriend. We still managed to put together this gallery of The Hottest Stoner Girls in Movies and TV. Light one up and enjoy.
We’re going to overlook the knife-wielding teens of Bully to focus on a lighter subject: Bijou Phillips as Ali, a gorgeous teen whose marijuana use may be the cause of her increased libido and her inability to gauge whether or not clothes fit her.
Penny Lane (Hudson) is so charming as the leader of the Band-Aids (glorified groupies) that she makes an affair with a rock star look like a Disney fairytale and puffing on a spliff look as innocent as Shirley Temple’s tap dancing.
Before Milla Jovovich became a famous zombie killing machine in the Resident Evil franchise, she played the stoned chick in the background in Dazed and Confused. Her contributions to the coming-of-age party film include playing a song about aliens on her acoustic guitar and making perpetual obliviousness look endearing.
With the Wackness set in the summer of ’94 and scored to a cassette tape soundtrack of early 90s hip hop, Olivia Thirlby is essentially a a cross between a hippie and a fly girl. She offers free love (in the form of volunteering to take her dealer’s virginity), tokes up regularly and dances in a jean jacket and hoop earrings in her dealer’s music video-esque dreams.
Would you assume that sunshine stoner girl Melanie (Bridget Fonda) is involved with a $500,000 money smuggling scheme? Probably not, especially when she explicitly explains that her main ambition in life is to “get high and watch TV.”
Mary Louis Parker’s Nancy Botwin is a single MILF who just so happens to support her kids by selling herb. But don’t scoff at her before you understand the quality of her goods. They are so superb that not only does she have suburban parents procuring her product, Snoop Dogg even recorded a single dedicated to her “MILF Weed.”
Linda Cardellini redefined “freaks and geeks” when she starred in Grandma’s Boy by: a) overseeing a video game company, b) getting super faded at her boyfriend’s grandmother’s house and c) using that high to perform Salt N Pepa’s “Push It.”
In That 70s Show, Mila Kunis portrayed an unusually self-aware pothead. Her character, Jackie Burkhart, has a reputation of being the uncensored, superficial prom queen of the sitcom. After she smokes weed, she’s usually heavy-lidded in a cloud of smoke with her friends in Eric’s basement.

The human brain has cannabinoid receptors for receiving chemicals derived from cannabis. Hint, hint.
It was inevitable that eventually cannabis would meet its perfect partner, us.
All over the country there are people having terminal cases of cancer or aids, who are given for example huge doses of chemotherapy agents which force them to be nauseous and unable to eat food which leads rapidly to their dwindling away because they can’t eat.
It’s well established that Marijuana counteracts this nausea and a few cases where it’s permitted or when its done illegally remarkable benefits accrue.
Is it rational to forbid patients who are dying from taking marijuana as a palliate to permit them to gain body weight and to get food down? It seems madness to say we’re worried they’re going to become addicted to marijuana—which there’s no evidence whatsoever that it’s addictive—but even if it were, these people are dying. What are we saving them from? So that’s a highly irrational official government position on at least some parts of drugs. – Carl Sagan
Obama was a huge stoner back in high school and college. Enjoy the following excerpts from David Maraniss’ Barack Obama: The Story dealing with the elaborate cannabis culture surrounding the president when he attended Punahou School in Honolulu and Occidental College in Los Angeles.
A self-selected group of boys at Punahou School who loved basketball and weed called themselves the Choom Gang. Choom is a verb, meaning “to smoke marijuana.”
As a member of the Choom Gang, Obama was known for starting a few pot-smoking trends. The first was called “TA,” short for “total absorption.” To place this in the physical and political context of another young man who would grow up to be president, TA was the antithesis of Bill Clinton’s claim that as a Rhodes scholar at Oxford he smoked dope but never inhaled.
Along with TA, Obama popularized the concept of “roof hits”. When they were chooming in the car all the windows had to be rolled up so no smoke blew out and went to waste. When the pot was gone, they tilted their heads back and sucked in the last bit of smoke from the ceiling.
When you were with Obama and his pals, if you exhaled precious pakalolo (Hawaiian slang for marijuana, meaning “numbing tobacco”) instead of absorbing it fully into your lungs, you were assessed a penalty and your turn was skipped the next time the joint came around. “Wasting good bud smoke was not tolerated,” explained one member of the Choom Gang, Tom Topolinski, the Chinese-looking kid with a Polish name who answered to Topo.
Obama also had a knack for interceptions. When a joint was making the rounds, he often elbowed his way in, out of turn, shouted “Intercepted!,” and took an extra hit. No one seemed to mind.
Ray was a long-haired haole hippie who worked at the Mama Mia Pizza Parlor and he was useful because of his ability to “score quality weed.” In another section of the yearbook, students were given a block of space to express thanks and define their high school experience. … Nestled below Obama’s photographs was one line of gratitude: “Thanks Tut, Gramps, Choom Gang, and Ray for all the good times.”
