The American Marijuana Green Rush Has Too Many Celebrity Endorsements!

If you had a chance, would you not join the cannabis bandwagon in America like in Colorado that brings in billions of dollars? Whether it is growing or retailing the green gold for medical or recreational consumption, eateries and resorts are making it big if you look at the statistics. That is only going to increase if you consider that more and more states have realized the wonder qualities of the drug that today mesmerizes the developed world. Besides the spiritualistic, euphoric high that started it all centuries ago, only recently is the world waking up to the manifold curative properties of marijuana that treats epilepsy, pain and cancer, among so many other medical conditions. Yet opponents remain like the law enforcement authorities that consider cannabis illegal like federal America does.

Federal laws still say ‘no’ to marijuana

An illegal Schedule 1 substance, claim the Federal authorities as they always did. They need to rethink of course. With sweeping changes that are bound to ensue with the not so far away Presidential elections, the scenario might well change. In fact, crime would be controlled through legalization and the stigma would be gone. Remaining semi-legal because of federal restrictions, the growing, packaging and sales of marijuana brought in revenues of $5.7 billion in 2015 across the country. One can imagine the numbers of celebrities and entrepreneurs who wish to make it big! What about the assured future for such marijuana excesses? Strangely enough, an overwhelming majority of the sale comes from medical marijuana and that is understandable because only 4 of the 27 marijuana legal states have okayed recreational marijuana. One source predicts that all sales combined would reach $22 billion by 2020.

Who is saying ‘yes’ to the green gold

Whether fad or intrinsically meritorious, many folks in the limelight have lit up, eaten or vaped with the weed all right. Some may avoid revealing a secret desire for fear of wrecking carefully set up public images. Actor Charlie Sheen favors the legality of weed, as it is reported. Jennifer Aniston may be puffing away too. Snoop Dogg has a business that sells medical marijuana stuff. Have you heard of Beverley Hills Cannabis Club? Founder Cheryl Shuman reports that many stars want to join the marijuana business. No wonder why! One reason why stars may be keeping mum in spite of involvement may be the yet illegality in federal terms. Whoopi Goldberg, Wiz Khalifa, and Willie Nelson are some of the many celebrities who have staked millions in upcoming marijuana businesses, as it is believed.
