Since Colorado and Washington legalized the recreational use of marijuana, the push to legalize the substance on both a medicinal and non-medicinal level has gone into overdrive. Pot is making headlines these days and what could possibly be the most affirming show of support for the marijuana lobby comes from The New York Times, whose editorial board is publishing a series advocating for its legalization, likening the current drug laws to Prohibition.
Marijuana is trending everywhere, and folks are becoming increasingly more open about their use of the herb. A Colorado pot-themed wedding covered in The New York Times recently made headlines — the bride carried a bouquet flourished with marijuana leaves while the groom and his men rocked cannabis leaf boutonnieres. Oh, and included in party favors for the guests? A joint and weed-infused lip balm. Just this month, New York State legalized the use of medicinal marijuana. This year, President Obama publicly stated that pot wasn’t any more dangerous than alcohol.
But although legalization seems to have tremendous support from the public, the image of marijuana users as being ungroomed schlubs is still at large. But not all pot smokers are rolling around in tie-dye T-shirts and paint-splattered khakis! You can smoke herb and still have an appreciation for fashion. Just ask these next 8 sartorial stars, who admittedly love to toke, but also love to turn it out in the fashion department.
Stylish Celeb Stoners

Rihanna
CFDA Fashion Icon and out-and-proud stoner, Rihanna has never made her love of blunts a secret. She regularly posted photos of her burning down with her pals (or even solo) to Instagram — pictures that are now lost since she was banned from the social media platform. R.I.P. @badgalriri.

Miley Cyrus
Miley has been very open about how much she uses marijuana. The Marc Jacobs Spring 2014 campaign star and style muse even surprised Wiz Khalifa with how much she indulges. "I don't know. She's younger so it's different. Every five minutes she kept being like, 'Wiz, you don't have a joint rolled? What's up?'" he dished in an interview with Arsenio Hall.

Cara Delevingne
It's no secret that Cara, model and celebrity BFF, loves to party and when she does, she enjoys a little herbal refreshment. Besides tweeting 420 greetings, she was spied at an Amsterdam coffee shop with fellow stoner Miley late last year, and we're guessing they didn't meet there for coffee. And who could forget the photos that surfaced earlier this year of a teenaged Cara burning with her friends? Old habits die hard, we guess.

A$AP Rocky
A$AP's made public his love of Raf Simons and Rick Owens, as well as his stoner status. He paired with fellow pothead Rihanna for his uber stylish "Fashion Killa" music video. According to the rapper, working with the Bajan songstress was great: "Rihanna is a pothead and so am I, so we're real cool."

Charlize Theron
Charlize turns up on the red carpet on the reg, but this style star was famously caught by the paps smoking MJ out of a homemade apple pipe — that's only a trick a seasoned smoker would know.

Frank Ocean

Kate Moss
Kate is one of the industry's most successful models, but that doesn't mean her life is all work and no play. Kate's partying antics are the stuff of legend, but she raised a few eyebrows when she was caught smoking a joint on a yacht with Lily Allen back in 2009. Would have been all good were it not for the fact that the supermodel's daughter, Lila, was sitting right there as her mother puffed away.

Rita Ora
Rita's certainly got a busy schedule — designers have been clamoring for a piece of her as of late, scoring her deals with Adidas, DKNY, Roberto Cavalli, Superga and other brands. But homegirl also likes to toke a little to relax. She's tweeted her share of 420 greetings, and considering the company she keeps, there's no doubt she loves to burn. Just ask Snoop Lion, with whom she shared a blunt in 2013.

Nicole Richie
Nicole's style is pretty much the envy of all fashion enthusiasts. Only she could make bright blue or lavender hair look polished and chic. Nicole was famously busted in 2006 when she was riding around with green in her car.

A poster girl for all-American classic style and 90s hair icon, Jennifer doesn't call herself a pothead, but sure loves to toke every so often. "I enjoy it once in a while. There is nothing wrong with that," she told Rolling Stone.
