Enterprising celebrities with money to spare and an entrepreneurial bent of mind have been quick to jump on the cannabis biz bandwagon with the hope that there’ll be the proverbial pot of gold that this pot will lead them to.
Celeb endorsement means a lot in any business. Let’s take a look at four celebrities who are ready to put their money where their mouth is.
1. Tommy Chong – It’d be a travesty of sorts if Tommy Chong’s name did not appear here. He owes his celebrity status to the cult weed-themed movies he has starred in. He, along with Cheech Marin, is one who blazed the trail for the likes of Kal Penn and many others. Tommy has come out with a range of wipes that’ll remove the odor of weed from clothes.
2. Cliff Robinson – Cliff Robinson, a.k.a Uncle Cliffy was one of the two NBA players to have begun playing in the 80s and then play till 2007. Whether weed had a role to play in the longevity of the Portland Trail Blazers star is a moot point. Cliff is a passionate promoter of weed over synthetic drugs and in 2016 had announced plans for his own grow operation called Uncle Spliffy.
3. Whoopi Goldberg – Whoopi’s line of weed-infused pain relievers for menstruating women is available in California and by all accounts has been received well. The range of products is sold under the brand Whoopi and Maya and includes a bath soak, herbal tincture, body balm, and organic cacao with either THC or CBD. These are medicinal marijuana products and will not get the women high.
4. Bethenny Frankel – The reality TV star is already an entrepreneur of note; she sold her Skinnygirl line of alcoholic drinks to Beam for $100 million. She has now turned her attention to weed, and aims to create cannabis strains that will suppress appetite.

That skinny girl shit is still full of sugar. you want to loose weight so bad snack on fruits and veggies instead of trying to make weed suppress appetites.
Cheech and Chong are my spirit animals.
I would love a strain that helped suppress my appetite! The skinny girl like of alcohol isn’t my favorite but it’s an okay buy for every so often.
I would love to see a beer that is infused with weed.
So you just want to be cross faded?
Weed infused wine. Million $$$$ Idea.
Being cross faded is one of the most uncomfortable things in the world
Are the Whoopi products only sold in California and if so is there any projection on them selling anywhere else?! My cramps are horrible and I would love to try them!
I was just thinking the same this for my girlfriend!
I would try them.
I see the infused tampons on instagram all the time…i wonder if it is one of those products. and if it doesn’t get you high that means I can use it and still function through the day!
Ive seen those too but i feel like that would get you high to be honest but it would be cool if it didn’t.
People banking on a naturally growing product.
Weed needs to take over the timber companies already.
Chong would be on this list!
