Does Jennifer Aniston Smoke Weed?

We know why you’re here; you want to know one simple, salient answer to one simple, salient question: Does Jennifer Aniston smoke weed? Friends, let’s take a journey to find the answer you’re looking for. Maybe we can even watch a few “Friends” reruns along the way.

Who is Jennifer Aniston?

Here’s the thing. If you don’t know who Jennifer Aniston is, then we’ve got nothing for you. But if you insist, here’s a biographical breakdown of the one and only Rachel Green…er, Jen.

Born Jennifer Joanna Aniston on February 11, 1969, in Sherman Oaks, California, the future star was fated for a career on the big and small screens from the very first. The daughter of soap opera star John Aniston and actress Nancy Dow, Aniston lived in Greece and Pennsylvania as a child before her family finally settled in New York City. As a student enrolled at the prestigious Waldorf School in Manhattan, she began her own foray into acting as a pre-teen.

Aniston first found work in Off-Broadway productions and bit parts in TV shows like “Quantum Leap,” and made her movie debut in 1993 in the schlock horror-comedy “Leprechaun.” Only a year after “Leprechaun” hit the big screen, Aniston was cast in her career-defining role on the ultimate ’90s sitcom “Friends” as Rachel Green, who quickly became a fan favorite during the show’s 10-season run. 

Over the last few years, Aniston’s focus has switched from television to film, including comedies like “She’s Not That Into You,” “Horrible Bosses,” and “The Switch,” as well as more serious fare like the indie drama “Cake,” which earned her a Golden Globe nomination.

But back to the reason why you’re really here: Does Jennifer Anniston smoke weed?

Puff or Pass?

Aniston has been notoriously—and refreshingly—nonchalant about her cannabis use. Much like her former spouse Brad Pitt, Jen has been open about her fondness for pot since the early years of her stardom. She addressed their weed consumption back in a 2001 interview with Rolling Stone, expressing her bemusement and incredulity over critics who categorized her recreational weed use as a drug addiction, as well as tabloids that did more or less the same on their front covers.

“That’s a funny one, too. Because you see something like that—me and my husband, hooked on drugs. Then you read the story, and it says you smoke pot,” she told the magazine. “It’s not even cocaine or shooting heroin. Pot!”

“I mean, I enjoy it once in a while,” she continued. “There’s nothing wrong with that. Everything in moderation…I wouldn’t call myself a pothead.”

“Let’s pick a new topic, please? My mother and father will be reading,” she joked.

And then, of course, there’s the fun fact that Aniston herself played an accidental small-time pot dealer and stripper in the 2013 movie “We’re the Millers,” alongside her co-star Jason Sudeikis. (Okay, okay, that doesn’t prove anything, but who doesn’t love a good fun fact?)
