10 Celebrities Who Created Cannabis Brands

Celebrity cannabis brands have become a major part of the legal industry, with actors, musicians, athletes and comedians turning longtime public associations with marijuana into formal business ventures.

Some have launched flower and pre-roll lines. Others have built full lifestyle brands, dispensary partnerships, beverages, edibles or national licensing deals. While not every celebrity marijuana brand has lasted, several have become recognizable names in legal markets across the country.

Here are 10 celebrities who have built marijuana brands.
