The Best YouTube Cannabis Influencers Worth Checking Out

While TikTok may be the latest newcomer to the online video platform scene, that doesn’t mean it’s taken the place of YouTube. As the original online video sharing website, YouTube has been the go-to source for news, trends, events, topics of historical significance, and just plan entertainment, for nearly 20 years (yes, it has really been that long).

While the terms of service have changed a lot since the website first launched in 2005, and though limitations have been put into place regarding what can be shared on the site (we’re sorry to say it, but it’s true), YouTube remains a treasure trove of information. There’s one topic of interest that continues to surge on the platform: cannabis.

Thanks to the shifting narrative and views surrounding marijuana consumption, which is largely due to the fact that it has been legalized for both medicinal and recreational use throughout the United States, the interest in all things related to cannabis has soared in recent years, and YouTube is one of the most widely used online spaces where people search for the information they seek. Content producers have answered the call for the increased interest, too, as there are literally dozens of channels that pertain to marijuana on the video sharing platform. 

Whether you’re interested in learning how to roll the perfect joint, you want to discover how to make your own dabs, you’d like to learn about this history, the science behind, or the myriad of uses for and benefits of marijuana – or you simply want to find someone that you can kick-back and relax with while smoking a joint and enjoy interacting with other cannabis users in online chats, you’ll find no shortage of ganja-themed videos and channels to choose from on YouTube.

The following are some of the most popular cannabis influencers on the video sharing website that you should totally consider checking out.

Erick Khan

Erick Khan is our personal favorite cannabis lifestyle influencer. Yeah, the term doesn’t really do it justice because his channel is probably one of the most relatable today in terms of “man I’d really like to get blazed with this dude” type vibes.

Erick films all kinds of content from product reviews to events to mild travel, to chill sessions and just about everything in between. He began streaming and blazing and the blazing half was so popular he made it his main thang and the rest seems to be history as he’s approaching 1M subscribers at the time writing this.

If you want to stay on top of the industry, and we mean like the bleeding edge, then this is a solid channel worth following as it seems like every month we learn about some new product or tech that’s making waves in the cannabis community and Khan breaks it down no BS.

Oh, and the dude is a straight up foodie his restaurant and delivery selection are unparalleled in my opinion, I mean, if you aren’t wise to the glory that is crispy pork belly then you just won’t understand..

But you can if you go check him out right now!

Stoned Alone

This one is kind of a black horse in a list largely comprised of mega-channels that cover a very broad spectrum of the cannabis industry because Tim, the central figure and owner of the Stoned Alone channel is a bit more artistic, at least sometimes, in his video content.

Sure, there are your classic product reviews but what makes his channel worth checking out is the unique travel content. One of the first videos I saw he got stoned and drunk in an airport and passed out. This being a longstanding dream of mine I had to applaud his audacity.

The Stoner Loner travels around the world, spreading good vibes and leaving a trail of smoke in his wake. There’s a definite art style to a lot of his editing and videos, which sets a mood or “vibe” if you will that is often lacking in the more generic “how-to” or “product review-specific type channels.

If you like a more offbeat angle on being a less social stoner that loves to travel then we highly recommend checking out the Stoned Alone channel.

That said, if there’s an extra special channel that you enjoy and you think more people MUST know about it let us know in the comments below, we’re always happy to add reader suggestions to further help out more readers looking for the dopest of the dope Youtube channels.

Does YouTube monetize cannabis content?

No, because cannabis is still federally illegal advertisers do not want to be associated with it and thus such content is not eligible for YouTube’s Adsense program.
