In recent years, cannabis brands have become increasingly available, as more and more states legalize cannabis use. There are now a wide variety of stores on the market, offering everything from cannabis-infused edibles to CBD products. There are also several online shops like vapovapes.com and this one where people can make a purchase in just a few seconds, making cannabis products more available than ever.
As the cannabis industry continues to grow, more and more celebrities are getting involved. From athletes to actors, just about anyone can have their cannabis brand. In this blog post, we'll take a look at eight musicians who have ventured into the cannabis world. Whether they're just endorsing a brand or creating their line of products, these musicians create waves in the cannabis industry.
Jay-Z
Jay-Z is probably one of the most famous musicians in the world, and he actually fairly recently launched his line of cannabis called Monogram, with Caliva. Jay-Z is being quite ambitious with this line of cannabis, saying that the brand is attempting to “redefine what cannabis means to consumers today” and is focusing on “careful strain selection, meticulous cultivation practices, and uncompromising quality.”
Travis Barker
Another very famous musician who has been in the industry for a long time is Travis Barker, who, in 2018, started his brand called Barker Wellness. Barker Wellness, as the site describes, sells “premium quality and ethically made vegan, THC-FREE, cannabinoid-infused wellness products for your body and mind.” The cannabinoids the company uses include CBG, CBN, CBC, and CBD.
Snoop Dogg
It’s pretty safe to say that if there is one name associated with cannabis, it would be Snoop Dogg. Did you know that it is reported that he smokes about 81 blunts a day? In 2015, Snoop Dogg launched his brand called Leafs by Snoop, more commonly known as LBS. The products that the brand offers come from eight different strains; three Sativa strains, four Indica strains, and one strain that is high in CBD.
John Legend
One name you might not have expected on this list is John Legend, but as it turns out, he ventured into the cannabis industry in 2019 by partnering with a brand called Plus Products Inc. The range of products that Plus Products Inc offers is all THC-free. John Legend said that what drew him to the brand is that they are a family-run and innovative company that aims to provide the best quality products. Of course, it’s also because John Legend said he is a firm believer in the benefits of CBD.
Mickey Hart
Mickey Hart, who is the drummer for Grateful Dead, has also got into the cannabis industry with his brand named Mind Your Head. At the moment, the brand only offers two products, but based on the descriptions of the products, they’re the only ones you’ll need. Space Ticket is the name for the brand's pre-roll, which will “admit one or more to another dimension.” If that’s a bit much, the brand also offers “Magic Minis,” which are 1/3 gram joints of Chemdog.
Carlos Santana
Carlos Santana partnered with a brand called Left Coast Ventures in 2020, after being an advocate for cannabis for a long time. Carlos Santana's brand is called Mirayo by Santana and consists of four strains of whole flowers and pre-rolls. The strains that Mirayo offers include “Essence” CBD, “Radiance” Sativa, “Centered” India, and “Symmetry” hybrid.
Willie Nelson
Another name that is practically synonymous with cannabis is Wilie Nelson, so it doesn't come as a surprise that in 2016 he launched his brand called Willie’s Reserve. What does the brand sell? Pretty much anything related to cannabis, such as vape cartridges, whole flowers, live resin, accessories, pre-rolls, and more. According to his website, the cannabis culture is a way of life for him, and he has always operated under a simple philosophy: my stash is your stash.
Lil Wayne
Finally, the last musician on this list that has started their cannabis brand is none other than Lil Wayne. Lil Wayne has been a long-time consumer of cannabis, so it makes sense that he started his brand called Gkua. Gkua offers premium cannabis whole flower, along with pre-rolls, live resin sauce, vapes, and more. Some of the strains offered include “The Goblin”, “G.O.A.T”, “Slime”, and of course “Mr. Carter OG”. What’s more, the brand also sells merch; anything from hoodies to backpacks and caps.
