Celebrities that have long been associated with marijuana are getting into the industry. It’s a no brainer, for obvious reasons. Tommy Chong was the first that I heard of, when he inked a deal with Marisol Therapeutics in Pueblo, Colorado. BReal from Cypress Hill recently opened up a medical marijuana dispensary in Santa Cruz. A story came out today on The Daily Beast which talked about how Willie Nelson wants to create his own marijuana brand, complete with his own strain and stores. Per The Daily Beastarticle:
So what exactly is Willie’s Reserve?
Well, you know, Willie has spent a lifetime in support of cannabis, both the industrial hemp side and the marijuana side. He wants it to be something that’s reflective of his passion. Ultimately, it’s his. But it was developed by his family, and their focus on environmental and social issues, and in particular this crazy war on drugs, and trying to be a bright light amongst this trail as we’re trying to extract ourselves from the goo of prohibition.
Really he wants it, at the end of the day, to envelop what his personal morals and convictions are. So from the store itself to how they’ll work with suppliers and how things are operated, it’s going to be very reflective of Willie’s life.
Wait, so there’s going to be stores?
Well, yeah, they’re in the making. I think it’s safe to say that there will be stores that roll out in the states where marijuana has become legal.
You can read the whole interview at the link I provided above. I always like reading Willie Nelson interviews, and this one may be my favorite of all time. Teaming up with a celebrity for marketing purposes, or a celebrity entering the marijuana industry themselves like BReal did, can be a great business move, but it also can bring on a set of challenges that a lot of people don’t expect. A Willie Nelson strain named ‘Willie’s Reserve’ is going to have astronomically high expectations from consumers. Anything short of the best strain of all time is sure to result in critical reviews on the web and social media.

I haven’t seen anything on BIN, but recently the DEA has been under fire for having been caught at sex parties funded by drug cartels in South America. These parties provided prostitutes that were able to come into contact with lap tops and other sensitive materials that the agents supposedly were using to ‘catch’ the cartels….that paid for the party.
The DOJ said they were ‘outraged’ at the situation…….This all took place in 2006.
So what was the DOJ out raged about? That they all got caught?
Does everyone see now that the ‘whole drug war’ is just a money making scheme? If you don’t believe me….seek out someone who has been to prison and been released……find out how the prison system is a money making scheme and why prisons need to be filled to over flowing.
