Did You Know? Celebrities in the Cannabis Industry

Read Time:1 Minute, 33 Second

For a few years now, many stars have been involved in the Cannabis business, with new ones jumping in all the time. I don’t know about you, but I, myself, am very influenced by celebrities and the products that they are representing. When my favorite celebrity partners with a brand, creates their own brand, or posts on social media the new item they are using, it makes me want to start using that item or purchase whatever they are promoting. According to Forbes, in 2021, “…cannabis sales in the U.S. increased 40% … to $25 billion” (https://www.forbes.com/sites/joshwilson/2022/05/25/hollywoods-three-greatest-contributions-to-the-fast-growth-of-the-cannabis-industry/?sh=1980e5e93fbd). Many believe that celebrities’ involvement in the cannabis industry have had a big part in this major jump of sales.
