The cannabis industry isn’t just growing—it’s skyrocketing ☄️ faster than a Snoop Dogg smoke session 🎯. And leading the charge? Celebrities who aren’t just lighting up a joint for fun, but actively advocating for, investing in, and building empires around the plant. Some use their platform to push for legalization ⚒️, while others are making serious business moves 🎰. But who are these high-profile cannabis champions, and which ones are cashing in while promoting the plant? Let’s break it down 🔽.

Snoop Dogg: The Grandfather 👴🏿 of Ganja

If there’s a Mount Rushmore ⛰️ of cannabis culture, Snoop Dogg’s face would be front and center. This legendary rapper 🎙️ has been a vocal advocate for cannabis for decades and took it a step further by launching Leafs by Snoop 🍂, a premium line of marijuana strains and cannabis-infused edibles 🍩. Snoop’s investment portfolio 🏦 includes Casa Verde Capital, a venture fund focused on cannabis startups 🌼. With a brand empire spanning media 📱, merchandise 🧢, and product lines ♒️, he’s not just getting high—he’s taking his profits even higher.

Willie Nelson: Country 🐎 Music’s Cannabis King

Willie Nelson’s love for cannabis 🌾 is as legendary as his music 🎻. His long-time advocacy for marijuana reform led him to establish Willie’s Reserve 🎶, a high-quality cannabis brand featuring flower 🌻, pre-rolls 🥖, and vape cartridges 🌪️. Unlike some celebrity brands that feel like vanity projects, Willie’s Reserve operates with a strong ethical backbone, supporting small, sustainable farmers 🍀 and pushing for policy reform. At 9️⃣0️⃣ years old, Nelson’s still rolling—both on tour and on papers 🎷.

Seth Rogen: From Stoner Comedy 😹 to Cannabis Entrepreneurship

Seth Rogen built 🔧 his career playing the quintessential stoner 😂, but he’s also a serious entrepreneur. His cannabis brand, Houseplant 🏠, combines high-end flower 🌹 with stylish cannabis accessories 🏺, making marijuana chic and sophisticated. Rogen isn’t just selling weed—he’s crafting a culture 🏵️ around it, offering beautifully designed smoking essentials that could belong in an art gallery 🎨. Houseplant’s success proves that cannabis businesses don’t have to rely on tired stereotypes to thrive 🛫.

Martha Stewart: The Queen 👸 of CBD

Yes, you read that right—Martha Stewart, the queen of home decor 🏡 and DIY crafting 🧵, has a cannabis empire. She launched a CBD line 🌲 with Canopy Growth, offering gourmet CBD gummies 🍪, tinctures, and pet products 🐾. While Stewart may not be rolling joints with Snoop on weekends (or maybe she is? 🧐), her involvement has helped bring cannabis-derived wellness products into mainstream households 🏘️, proving that cannabis is no longer a counterculture movement—it’s a wellness revolution 🏄.

Jay-Z: Elevating Cannabis to Luxury Status ✅

Shawn Carter 💋, better known as Jay-Z, isn’t just a hip-hop mogul—he’s making major waves in cannabis too. His brand, Monogram 📦, takes a high-end approach to cannabis, marketing meticulously curated strains as a premium, luxury experience 💠. In addition to his own brand, Jay-Z serves as Chief Visionary 👀 Officer for The Parent Company, one of the largest cannabis firms in the U.S. 💳. With this move, he’s positioning himself as more than a businessman—he’s a cannabis industry titan 🎗️.

Mike Tyson: Heavyweight 🔘 in the Ring and the Weed Game

Mike Tyson’s 👂🏾 transition from boxing champion to cannabis entrepreneur is nothing short of fascinating. His brand, Tyson 2.0 🌴, offers a range of premium marijuana products, from flower to edibles 🍉. Tyson even plans to open a 420-acre cannabis-themed resort 🏰, complete with a luxury glamping experience 🛖 and an amphitheater 💮 for concerts. It’s safe to say that Iron Mike’s next knockout might be in the cannabis tourism industry 🏝️.

Drake: The “6 God 🗿” Steps Into Cannabis

Drake isn’t just ruling the music charts 🎵—he’s also making strategic moves in the cannabis industry. He launched More Life Growth Company 🎍, a Toronto-based cannabis business aimed at wellness-focused products 🛏️. However, his deal with Canopy Growth ended in 2021 📆, proving that even mega-celebrities face challenges in this competitive industry 💢. While his cannabis business didn’t take off like his rap career, Drake’s initial move into the space signaled how mainstream marijuana 🥗 is becoming.

Rihanna: Future Cannabis Queen ✨?

While Rihanna 💃🏿 hasn’t officially launched a cannabis brand 🌋, she’s been a vocal supporter 🌵, often seen indulging in a well-rolled joint 🍃. Fans speculate that her business empire—which already spans music 🎤, fashion 👜, and beauty—may soon include cannabis. Given her influence, a Rihanna-branded cannabis 🥦 line would undoubtedly be a smash hit 🧨. If anyone can turn marijuana into a billion-dollar lifestyle brand, it’s Bad Gal Riri 💖.

Woody Harrelson: Hollywood’s Most Vocal 🗣 Cannabis Crusader

Long before cannabis was trendy, Woody Harrelson 🌝 was pushing for legalization. Now, he owns The Woods 🌳, a high-end cannabis dispensary in West Hollywood 🏙️. Harrelson isn’t just about profits—he’s deeply involved in cannabis activism 🕹 and continues to challenge outdated drug laws 📖. His advocacy helped shift public perception, proving that Hollywood’s most famous stoners 🍄 can also be serious business leaders 💼.
