Gone are the days of the simple choice of smoking a joint or munching on a pot brownie to consume weed. The cannabis industry has made inroads just about everywhere you can imagine—think products like coffee pods, bath bombs, and toothpaste. As recreational and medicinal cannabis use becomes legal in more states across the U.S., companies are helping innovate how people use the plant.
Perhaps not surprisingly, many celebrities are at the forefront of the burgeoning cannabis industry. Sure, there are famously 420-friendly celebs like Snoop Dogg and Willie Nelson, who have openly supported the pot biz since long before its legalization. But many other actors, musicians, and even athletes have entered the game recently.
Though it’s relatively typical for the rich and famous to launch clothing lines and restaurants, the cannabis industry presents a new investment opportunity. Several celebrities have started everything from primo weed lines to pot accessory companies, and since these entrepreneurs bring their pre-existing fan bases with them, their business ventures often see significant success.
