Celebrities are not just making headlines for their performances on screen or stage, but also for their foray into the cannabis business. With the legalization of recreational and medicinal cannabis in more states across the U.S., many famous faces have decided to capitalize on the growing industry.

One such celebrity is Martha Stewart, known for her expertise in home improvement and lifestyle. In September 2020, she surprised many by launching Martha Stewart CBD in collaboration with cannabinoid company Canopy Growth. Stewart’s CBD products focus on health and healing, offering fruit-flavored gummies to improve sleep, reduce stress, and promote relaxation.

Actor and comedian Jim Belushi also made a splash in the cannabis industry in 2015 when he started Belushi’s Farm in southern Oregon. Chronicling his journey in the Discovery Channel docuseries “Growing Belushi,” Belushi’s farm has now expanded to over a dozen states, advocating for those unfairly incarcerated due to cannabis.

Legendary guitarist Carlos Santana entered the legal weed business in 2020 with his brand Mirayo, celebrating marijuana’s “ancient Latin heritage.” Santana’s childhood exposure to the plant through his mother’s traditional herbal remedies inspired his venture into the cannabis industry.
