THE BLACKNESS ASSOCIATED WITH THE CANNABIS INDUSTRY

The cannabis industry in recent times, like oil, real estate, and other sectors, is very lucrative and, of course, very competitive. Tagged as one of the most in-demand industries in the US and beyond is by chance but by merit. Engineered by the legalization of cannabis for its recreational and, most notably, its medicinal uses has completely changed the perception of cannabis in the minds of many in the US.

Cannabis for All

The year 2021 is on the horizon, and though the world was shut down thanks to the covid-19 pandemic, we are still here, and all we have are good thoughts and aspirations to take the cannabis industry to another level. Engineered by the contributions of researchers and scientists, smoking cannabis for fun is now outdated. Instead, using the drug for its medicinal uses is healing the world and making it a better place for humanity.

Investing in any legal yet lucrative business venture is capable of changing your life in a flash. Moreover, thanks to the legalization of cannabis in almost every state in the US, there is no better time to let your money work for you. Investing in a business requires some cash and some details regarding the venture you aim to invest in. Worry not; the cannabis industry is here for you and an ideal sector for people of color to own the industry. Many other black-inspired cannabis firms are taking the industry by storm and creating many opportunities for many African Americans out there.

Black Celebrities and Cannabis

The cannabis industry is growing, and thanks to the medicinal use back by excellent results, the sky is just the starting point for those in this industry. While the industry is open for all, it is still shocking to note that people of color always find it hard to get cannabis licenses let alone be handed the freedom to sap from the industry proceeds like their white counterparts. As tricky as this process may seem, some prominent black celebrities such as

Snoop Dog aka Snoop Lion

Wiz Khalifa

The Game

Damian Marley

Melissa Etheridge

Mike Tyson, aka Iron Mike,

Have and continue invested heavily in the cannabis industry and, of course, setting an example for all.

Like the celebrities mentioned, there is a long list of black Cannapreneurs seeking to stamp their print in this industry

Contributions of Celebrities to the Cannabis Industry

Thanks to legalization and an ever-increasing acceptance of cannabis in North America, celebrities (especially blacks) are cashing in on this booming new industry. These celebrities have publicly made known their love for the flower. And they are making millions in proceeds and creating employment opportunities for many Americans. By so doing, they are gradually staking a foothold in the green economy by selling products and proactively using their brands to add apparent value to these products.

Final Note

For an industry dominated by whites, sandwiched with administrative bottlenecks designed to limit industry participation for people of color, the table is turning slowly. People of color are gradually having their say. Unlike before, many black celebrities have taken the bull by the horn by acquiring cannabis licenses and investing heavily in the industry.
