As the cannabis industry grows, more and more people are trying to get a piece of the pie. Notably, many celebrities have been partnering with cannabis companies. This is mostly seen in the hip-hop community. Rappers like YG and Snoop Dogg are well known for their activities in the cannabis industry. But what are some non-rap musicians with weed lines?

Willie Nelson is one of the world’s most famous stoners and an icon in the cannabis industry. This country legend has almost become synonymous with weed. After quitting his destructive cycle of whiskey and cigarettes, Nelson turned to smoking cannabis and has done so since 1978. Nelson claims cannabis saved his life, stating he surely would’ve died if he had stuck with his old vices. Due to this, Nelson wanted to share the glory of weed with all those who would accept it.
To achieve this, Willie Nelson started Willie’s Reserve. The philosophy being, “my stash is your stash.” Nelson was always offered cannabis on the road and in return offered his own stash to his fans, creating a community of stoners. Nelson continues this ideology by providing multiple edible, flower, and vape options under Willie’s Reserve.

Another icon of cannabis and psychedelic use are none other than the Grateful Dead. Known for their incredible live shows and die-hard fanbase, drummer Mickey Hart created Mind Your Head Cannabis. Mickey Hart used weed in an effort for spiritual and creative exploration. Additionally, Hart states, “cannabis makes the curious more curious, creating virtual worlds filled with new dimensions. […] Aches and pains are lifted as you become more aware, being here and now.”
Mind Your Head consists of 1/3-gram joints available in tins of 10, as well as a potent 1-gram pre-roll. The pre-roll is wrapped in natural hemp and then infused with ice-water hash. Additionally, it includes a blend of Trinity Star and D.O.G. Chem.

One of Canada’s biggest pop stars has entered the cannabis industry. After getting married and finding God, Bieber has presented more of a clean-cut image. Still, Bieber indulges in weed and has recently launched a line of pre-rolled joints with Palms Premium. These pre-rolls come off of the success of his track “Peaches” and as such, share the same name. In a Bloomberg interview, Bieber states, “I’m a fan of Palms and what they are doing by making cannabis approachable and helping to destigmatize it.” As such, a portion of the profits will go towards cannabis and psychedelic therapy, as well as criminal reform surrounding cannabis. Further, the pre-rolls come in packs of seven half-grams, with choices between sativa, indica, and hybrid strains.
