By The Numbers: Celebrities Busted For Marijuana Each Year Since 2011

This may shock some of you, but celebrities smoke marijuana. We know, we can barely believe it ourselves. Celebs, they’re just like us, huh? And like us normal folks, celebrities also get arrested for marijuana possession (among other misdemeanors).

So far in 2018, only two celebrities have been cited for possession and they’ve both been football players—San Francisco 49er linebacker Reuben Foster and Denver Bronco wide receiver Carlos Henderson. Though, yes, both live in states that have legalized recreational marijuana, they were in states that still treat possession as a crime (Alabama and Louisiana, respectively).
