Drake isn’t the only celebrity to invest in the marijuana industry- Snoop Dogg was obviously one of the firsts, but also Mike Tyson, Martha Stewart, and Melissa Etheridge. 

It’s hopeful that the attention from celebrities will make nation-wide, recreational legalization more possible, but it’s unclear despite most American’s being in favor of legalization of marijuana.
