The marijuana revolution is taking Hollywood by storm, with famous actors and musicians such as Joe Rogen and Snoop Dogg making their mark. But how did they get involved in the movement? Let’s take a look at some of the biggest names in the cannabis industry, from Snoop Dogg to John Legend.
Many individuals are growing their own 420 seeds, used marijuana to treat certain cancers, and jumped into the bandwagon of celebrities to make the switch to legal marijuana.
Snoop Dogg
Celebrities like Snoop Dogg and Justin Bieber have jumped on the booming cannabis industry. The former was a long-time marijuana smoker before legalization. He even founded a company called Leafs by Snoop, a cannabis production company specializing in flower, edibles, and CBD products. In fact, he co-founded Leafs with his friend Tweed. Leafs by Snoop is now sold in dispensaries all over the U.S.
Snoop Dogg is now a vocal cannabis advocate. He has been a vocal advocate for marijuana legalization, speaking out at marijuana rallies, and contributing to the National Organization for the Reform of Marijuana Laws advisory board. He also has a marijuana-themed comedy album, and has even starred in blockbuster movies like “Training Day” and “Old School.” In addition, he recently co-starred in a TV show called Potluck Dinner Party.
Joe Rogen
Celebrities have long been involved in the debate over cannabis use. For example, comedian Joe Rogen, a UFC commentator, has spoken out in favor of the use of cannabis for its medical benefits and legalization. His podcast, Joe Rogan Experience, has welcomed discussions on the benefits and dangers of marijuana and the legalization of marijuana. Recently, he offered a joint to a host of cannabis fans.
Some of the most notable of these celebrities are Jimmy Kimmel and Seth Rogan. The two are also friends and have even collaborated on several projects. Kim Kardashian’s wife is an early supporter of cannabis and is also promoting the use of marijuana by celebrities. The comedian has a massive audience, which includes celebrities like Will Smith and Oprah. Meanwhile, the hip-hop group Cypress Hill has made cannabis a central part of their music. In fact, they haven’t even apologized for their love of cannabis, despite the stigma associated with it. Meanwhile, Mike Tyson and Cheech Marin have invested in their own cannabis companies.
John Legend
Celebrities like John Legend are joining the movement to make marijuana legal. The stoner comedian has argued that the War on Drugs has failed to deter cannabis use and has been a major cause of mass incarceration. He has spoken out in support of legalization of marijuana in his public appearances. His support of cannabis legalization is also reflected in his support of ending mass incarceration.
Earlier this year, a rapper named Waka Flocka Flame announced his presidential run, and his campaign was focused on weed legalization. However, that campaign proved to be a joke and is not serious business. While most Americans favor legalizing marijuana, the use of cannabis is illegal in most states and some parts of the country already sell feminized cannabis seeds. Some famous actors and musicians are also taking part in the cannabis legalization movement.
Snoop Dogg’s Leafs by Snoop
Snoop is a rapper and entrepreneur who has partnered with Canopy Growth Corp. to create a cannabis brand that’s available in Colorado, Washington, and California. Canopy is also part owner of Tweed, a CBD-infused e-commerce platform. Snoop and Canopy are longtime partners, with the rapper partnering with Canopy to create Leafs by Snoop.
Leafs by Snoop offers a full line of marijuana products, marketed as LBS, including smokable flower, edibles, and concentrates. Leafs by Snoop also features three strains of marijuana, including a high CBD variety and a low-THC option. The Leafs by Snoop line is available at Colorado dispensaries and online.
Tommy Chong
Well-known actors and musicians are now joining the cannabis legalization movement. One of these stars is Willie Nelson. The musician has been a cannabis advocate for five decades. He even owns a cannabis brand and is a member of NORML’s advisory board. He has been vocal about his support for cannabis, and is even an honorary member of the board of Willie’s Reserve.
Some famous actors and musicians are already on the front lines in the cannabis legalization campaign. For example, singer Tony Bennett has openly spoken about his marijuana use in the past. The singer has also made controversial comments about the drug before a Grammy ceremony. Carlos Santana is another example of an artist who has publicly supported legalizing marijuana. He even made an impassioned plea to President Obama to legalize the drug.
