7 Celebrities Who Use Cannabis: NYC Guide from Liberty Buds

7 Celebrities Who Use Cannabis (And What They Might Smoke at Liberty Buds) Famous and Lit

When it comes to cannabis, it’s not just everyday New Yorkers who enjoy lighting up—celebrities are no strangers to the plant. From musicians and actors to athletes and entrepreneurs, cannabis culture has gone mainstream, and the A-list crowd is fully on board.

At Liberty Buds, we’re not just fans of premium flower—we’re fans of cannabis history and the cultural icons who’ve helped destigmatize it. So we put together a roundup of famous cannabis lovers, and matched them with strains or products we think they’d love—because if they walked into our Manhattan shop today, we’d know exactly what to recommend.


🎤 Snoop Dogg – The King of Chronic

Known for: Smoking everywhere, all the time
What he’d buy at Liberty Buds: A 1/8th of Gush Mints or a 10-pack of potent indica pre-rolls

Let’s be real—no cannabis celebrity list is complete without Snoop D-O-Double-G. He’s been repping the plant since the ‘90s, and he’s still one of the biggest weed entrepreneurs in the world. We imagine Snoop would roll through and grab something gassy and heavy-hitting for nighttime sessions.


💃 Rihanna – High Fashion, Higher Vibes

Known for: Making cannabis look cooler than ever
What she’d buy at Liberty Buds: Solventless hash-infused gummies or a designer vape pen (think sleek and discreet)

Rihanna’s been photographed rolling up on yachts, lighting up at festivals, and casually flexing her cannabis love on Instagram. Her style is always elite, so we’d match her with high-end products that are just as elevated as her brand.


🧘 Seth Rogen – Actor, Artist, and Weed Glass Guru

Known for: Building a whole lifestyle brand around weed
What he’d buy at Liberty Buds: A craft hybrid strain and some handcrafted glassware

Seth isn’t just about smoking—he’s about the art of cannabis. His brand Houseplant celebrates the experience with style and creativity. We’d send him home with a terp-rich strain like Pineapple Diesel and maybe a locally made piece of glass.


🏀 Kevin Durant – Pro Athlete Turned Cannabis Advocate

Known for: Opening up about cannabis and recovery
What he’d buy at Liberty Buds: A CBD-THC topical for post-workout relief and a balanced 1:1 vape

Durant’s one of the first active NBA players to publicly talk about his cannabis use for recovery and focus. He’s invested in cannabis brands and has helped push the conversation forward in sports. For him, we’d recommend wellness-oriented products that support rest and recovery.


🎶 Lady Gaga – Creativity Meets Cannabis

Known for: Using cannabis to manage pain and fuel performance
What she’d buy at Liberty Buds: A sativa tincture or microdose edibles to keep things balanced

Gaga has shared openly that cannabis helps her with both chronic pain and creativity. She’s a perfect match for low-dose products that elevate without overwhelming—something uplifting, functional, and empowering.


🎤 Jay-Z – NYC Royalty and Cannabis Mogul

Known for: Launching his luxury brand, Monogram
What he’d buy at Liberty Buds: Our highest-end craft flower and Monogram-inspired premium pre-rolls

As a native New Yorker and hip-hop legend, Jay-Z’s entry into the cannabis world came with high expectations—and Monogram delivered. At Liberty Buds, we’d make sure he gets flower that’s just as smooth, bold, and elevated as his lyrics.


🎬 Whoopi Goldberg – Cannabis for Women’s Wellness

Known for: Advocating cannabis for menstrual relief
What she’d buy at Liberty Buds: CBD bath soaks or a THC balm for wellness

Whoopi’s been one of the few celebrity voices talking about cannabis for women’s health. We’d point her toward our self-care shelf, where wellness and relaxation meet effective relief.

Living in NYC means you’re never far from a celeb sighting. Don’t be surprised if you see someone like Pete Davidson, Rosario Dawson, or even A$AP Rocky walking into Liberty Buds one day. This city is a vibe—and we’re ready for everyone.
