What do President Barack Obama, right-wing talk king Rush Limbaugh, pop star Miley Cyrus, and most of the 2016 presidential candidates all have in common? You know, beyond the fact that they travel with security and are rich beyond our wildest dreams? They all smoke or have smoked marijuana and today were included in Marijuana Policy Project‘s “Top 50 Influential Marijuana Consumers” list. The pro-cannabis advocacy group puts this list together ever year to show America that current and former marijuana users–counter to mainstream “slacker” stereotypes–sit among the world’s most successful movers and shakers.

This year’s list didn’t see a whole lot of movement compared to 2014, with about 80% of last year’s names remaining on the list. Barack Obama, Oprah Winfrey, Clarence Thomas, Jay-Z, and Stephen Colbert all hung tight in the top ten, while celebrities Miley Cyrus, Snoop Dog, Hugh Hefner, and Robert Downey Jr stayed in the bottom brackets. Justin Timberlake, Jennifer Lawrence, Matthew McConaughey, and Katy Perry were all new additions while Michael Phelps, David Letterman, Maya Angelou, and Oliver Stone fell off the list completely.

Perhaps the most important and interesting addition this year was “2016 Presidential Hopefuls” coming in second place. Two of 2014’s names (Rand Paul and Lincoln Chaffee) were consolidated into this year’s “hopefuls” category. As MPP’s Director of Communications Mason Tvert explained, it’s likely that a plurality of this crop of candidates has partaken of the (mostly) forbidden plant:

“At least eight (and as many as 17) of the 23 major-party presidential hopefuls have said or strongly indicated that they have consumed marijuana: Jeb Bush, Lincoln Chafee, Ted Cruz, George Pataki, Rand Paul, Marco Rubio, Bernie Sanders, and Rick Santorum. Nine others do not appear to have said whether they have consumed marijuana, and they did not respond to inquiries from MPP: Joe Biden, Ben Carson, Carly Fiorina, Jim Gilmore, Lindsey Graham, John Kasich, Bobby Jindal, Martin O’Malley, and Jim Webb. Only six candidates have said they never used marijuana: Hillary Clinton, Chris Christie, Mike Huckabee, Rick Perry, Donald Trump, and Scott Walker.”

Marijuana Policy Project’s list is put together using the same criteria that LGBT magazine Out utilizes when curating its “Power 50” list: “‘power to influence cultural and social attitudes, political clout, individual wealth, and a person’s media profile.’ To qualify for MPP’s list, individuals must (1) be alive, (2) be a U.S. citizen, and (3) have consumed marijuana at least once in their life according to either their own account or that of a legitimate source. They do not need to currently consume marijuana or support marijuana policy reform.”

Tvert emphasized the list’s intent to shatter stereotypes:

“We hope this list will make people question some of the anti-marijuana propaganda they’ve been hearing for so long. Millions of adults enjoy consuming marijuana for many of the same reasons that adults enjoy consuming alcohol. The only thing that makes marijuana consumers more likely to become ‘losers’ are the legal penalties they face just for using it.”
