It seems like every day there’s a new story out about someone famous using marijuana – but it doesn’t seem to stop these people from reaching the highest offices in the land. Whether we’re talking about the Oval Office or the box office, some of the most influential people in this country have used marijuana. This year, we at MPP want to see which individuals who have tried marijuana make the cut for the 2012 Top 50 Most Influential Marijuana Users List!
Rather than just produce a list, we really want to get your input on who should be considered for the 2012 Top 50 Most Influential Marijuana Users. So, we’re opening the nominations to all of our supporters – just leave a comment here on this blog post with someone you think should be on the list (and if you’ve got a source backing up their use, please include that as well). We’ll compile a list of all of those who made the cut.
Click here to see who has already been nominated for the 2012 Top 50 Marijuana Users List!
Then, in early August, we’re going to open up the voting! You’ll get to choose from over 100 individuals to let us know which people you think should make the Top 50 list.
In order to qualify for the 2012 Top 50 Most Influential Marijuana Users List, the person must:
(a) have tried marijuana at least once;
(b) be alive; and
(c) must be living in the U.S. or be a U.S. citizen.
Now, this isn’t a popularity contest or a list of supportive users. We’re looking for people who are influential – and to determine this, we want to borrow the great definition that Out Magazine uses for their “Power 50” list. To determine who makes the final list, we want you to vote for those who have the “power to influence cultural and social attitudes, political clout, individual wealth, and a person’s media profile.”
We’re really excited about creating this list and seeing who makes the final cut, and we hope you are as well!
I second all nominations for Carl Sagan, unfortunately he does not meet the criteria (e.g. he is not alive). He allegedly once borrowed several joints from a friend in order to aid in writing a scholarly paper. He is incredibly influential within the scientific community and has had a significant hand in popularizing areas of astronomy and cosmology. He is the epitome of one who can stay competitive within the rigorous standards of Academia, and do it while high
I nominate Adam Kokesh!! He is waking people up!!
He has a youtube channel called Adam VS The Man.
Jimmy Kimmel. While hosting the latest Correspondents Dinner at the White House, he directly called out President Obama for going after medical marijuana suppliers. That alone should get him on this list.
We need to replace most everyone in office now with people that understand that they do not own other people and adults get to decide for themselves what they get to put into their bodies. If you live in Arizona, you can start by electing Marc Victor (Libertarian) to the Senate: http://www.VictorForSenate.com
Im 110% for the greater cause, and a blessed recipient of this fine medicinal herb. I must say to my brethren, and MMP. I’m sure there is something better for our cause than voting on who is the most “important stoner of our day”…… Get it together MMP !! Us as medi consumers are looking toward reform and educating the public and relieving stigma. Onelove…..

Does anyone share my thoughts or am I a asshole?
Jim Bergen, head pastor at Flatirons Community Church, which has grown from 5,000 to 13,000 people PER WEEKEND in the last few years.

How in the heck is Richard Lee not at the top of this list?
Where’s Michael Phelps? Winningest Olympian of all time not on the list?
The Geek say, he say, ” I nominate, my very good friend, close-buddy, and life-long pal, Ralph “Sonny” Barger, former CEO of the highly acclaimed, world famous, Oakland, Alameda County, Hell’s Angels Motorcycle Club”.
