“My BIC EZ Reach Lighter is a staple for all my daily lighting needs,” he said in a statement. “Man, I love Willie, but I need my lighter back.

Shavo Odadjian

Shavo Odadjian — Shavo Odadjian is known as the bassist for System of a Down, and trap group North Kingsley. He’s also the founder of 22Red, a company aimed at creating an amplified cannabis lifestyle that celebrates the creative process.

“It didn’t start as a weed brand,” Shavo told HollywoodLife. “The thought process was having a brand that had clothing for the culture, like a lifestyle brand. I felt like there are so many brands out there, but I felt like I could make a difference because I wanted to make great apparel with comfortable, great fabrics, the designs being cool — not copy what was happening. We’d come up with stuff and start trends.”

Cheech Marin

Cheech Marin — As one half of the countercultural comedy duo synonymous with smoking up, Cheech Marin is a lover of all things cannabis.

How do you explain to [your kids] that you can’t play Rescue Bots because you have to spend all day in bed eating Cape Cod potato chips and watching The Bicycle Thief?”

Rihanna

Rihanna — Rihanna has been public about her love affair with cannabis. When she was pregnant with her and A$AP Rocky‘s first child, she told Vogue that cutting out weed was a challenge. “I was bracing myself for something insane because I knew I wouldn’t have my usual coping mechanism: I can’t just go and smoke a joint right now,” she said. After announcing her second pregnancy in 2023, it was clear she was on another maternity-mandated tolerance break.

Morgan Freeman

Morgan Freeman — Morgan Freeman argued against cannabis prohibition in 2015. “I have fibromyalgia pain in this arm, and the only thing that offers any relief is marijuana,” he told The Daily Beast. “They’re talking about kids who have grand mal seizures, and they’ve discovered that marijuana eases that down to where these children can have a life. That right there, to me, says, ‘Legalize it across the board!’ “

“They used to say, ‘You smoke that stuff, boy, you get hooked!’” he said with a laugh. “My first wife got me into it many years ago. How do I take it? However it comes! I’ll eat it, drink it, smoke it, snort it!”

Lady Gaga

Lady Gaga — Lady Gaga revealed her love for cannabis in her Netflix documentary, Gaga: Five Foot Two. She continues to battle fibromyalgia, and she revealed that she smoked a ton of weed in front of her “Telephone” collaborator, Beyoncé.

How is this working?’”

However, as one can be addicted to any substance, Gaga said in 2013 that she found herself overly reliant on cannabis. “I have been addicted to it, and it’s ultimately related to anxiety coping, and it’s a form of self-medication, and I was smoking up to 15-20 marijuana cigarettes a day with no tobacco,” she said, per High Times.

Jay-Z

Jay-Z — Speaking of Jay-Z, he launched Monogram, his first cannabis line, after partnering with The Parent Company (TPCO). TPCO is a publicly traded company created with the intention of dominating the California cannabis market, per GQ. Jay-Z hasn’t built himself as a stoner, but his involvement as “chief visionary officer” makes him a fan of the flower in one way or another.

It should be noted that in March 2023, TPCO was sued over gender discrimination, filing erroneous financial reports, and illegally shipping products over state lines, according to MJBizDaily. TPCO denied all allegations.

“Women are under-represented in weed, definitely,” Badu said. “Cannabinoids for women is a very important issue for me. As a doula, I am very, very close to the use of cannabinoids in creams, oil, drops, sprays, flower, tinctures, teas, and edibles. Anything to relax the central nervous system. Women have particular biology that cycles and there are certain periods in the cycle when we need cannabis. Research will further this conversation and help change the narrative a bit when it comes to the taboos around women and cannabis.”

I was no one. I was a kid. I had just turned 18. The next day it was like I was a delinquent slimy idiot, whereas I’m kind of a weirdo, creative Valley Girl who smokes pot. Big deal.”

Collaborating with Glass House Farms, she released “The Rabbit Hole,” a strain that is a “sativa flower of Sour Diesel origin. Each joint delivers an herbal flavor and a euphoric head high, which is matched with a mild and soothing body high. It can hit hard with a paranoid onset, but just sit down and let it pass. Then you can crash on the couch in peace.” It got rave reviews from A Proper High, despite having a relatively tame THC count of %16.3.

Margo Price

The Bellamy Brothers

The Bellamy Brothers — The Bellamy Brothers partnered with Florida-based cannabis provider Trulieve in 2020 to launch “Old Hippie Stash.” Florida has legalized the medicinal use of cannabis, which was one of the reasons behind the country stars’ decision.

“Medical marijuana has really great health benefits when used responsibly,” David Bellamy told Billboard. “I know it’s helped Howard and me on many levels. There was a stigma for so long, but now people are talking about it seriously and considering cannabis as an alternative for stress, anxiety, pain management, and many other health factors.”

In 2022, the Bellamy Brothers worked with Trulieve to get a proposed constitutional amendment on the 2024 ballot, which – if passed – would allow the recreational use of cannabis by anyone 21 or older.

” As we travel the country, we see the benefits of adult use, and as Florida residents, we love the ‘freedom state’ moniker and believe that Florida needs to join the millions of Americans whose adults are free to use cannabis without fear of being incarcerated,” the brothers said in a message, per WUSF News.

It’s something I’ve always wanted to do. It’s the way of the world. … It’s easy to get your own strain with someone, whatever, but I feel like this is such a perfect partnership, such a perfect situation.”

He teamed with 710 labs to create the ItsPurpl line, featuring variants of the Purple Urkle strain. “The thing that always stood out to me was there no clear brand leader for fire purple weed,” Jaleel told Forbes. “It made no sense to me, that no company of significance had claimed this lane, so why not me?”

“To smoke the end result from such a quality pod has been surreal,” he added. “I feel a little bit like Willy Wonka, the flavor came out so similar to grape candy

Jason Gann

Jason Gann — Jason Gann portrayed a weed-smoking dog on the show Wilfred. In 2020, he launched his brand, Wilfred CBD and Hemp in California. The COVID-19 pandemic forced him to switch directions and focus less on THC and more on the budding CBD and Delta-8 line. “I am a big, big spokesman for Delta-8,” Gann told High Times. “It gets a real bad rap but…I’m more productive, my concentration is better and I don’t get anxiety.” Wilfred is also resuming its THC line and looking to enter markets in other states.

In 2018, B-Real launched his first dispensary in California, and since then, he’s expanded the Dr. Greenthumb brand to cannabis products.

“Dr. Greenthumb’s flower is divided into three distinct categories: Loyal, Legacy and Unapologetic,” the line said in a statement in 2022. “Loyal signifies B Real’s commitment to quality cannabis while being mindful of price point, Legacy pays homage to the farms who have maintained their quality and authenticity over the decades and Unapologetic speaks to the customer who wants the best cannabis, regardless of budget.”

“As a loyal Deadhead, I’m proud to see Chemdog featured in the first product from Mickey Hart,” commented Chemdog, per High Times. “[The Chemdog strain] plays an important role in Grateful Dead history and I think it’s exciting that Mickey is bringing it full circle to fans and cannabis enthusiasts in Mind Your Head.”

34 of 36

Juicy J

Juicy J — In 2020, Three 6 Mafia member Juicy J launched a cannabis brand called Asterisk. “The cannabis movement is growing and growing and getting big. I just heard that Jay-Z just jumped in. In the next two or three years, everybody is going to be smoking weed across the world. Weed is going to be legal everywhere. So it’s just a no-brainer. Why not? Gary is a genius. I had to partner up with him. I smoke a lot of weed, so why not sell it?” he told Forbes.

35 of 36

Willie Nelson

Willie Nelson — Willie Nelson is the only man to outsmoke Snoop Dogg. So, it makes sense that he would also be involved in the cannabis market.
