Sure, they\u2019re not actually \u201cJust Like Us,\u201d but at the very least the words and actions of our beloved entertainers set precedents in the greater social consciousness.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s why it matters when celebrities take a stand for something, right? I care about LGBTQ rights because Taylor Swift cares about LGBTQ rights, I want to end mass incarceration because Meek Mill wants to end mass incarceration, I wore bike shorts because Ariana Grande wore bike shorts, etc etc.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>This week, a few celebrity announcements and one on-camera encounter serve as markers of where we are and how far we\u2019ve come when it comes to the relationship between weed and work. Yes, employees and anti-pot business are still\u00a0<a href=\"\/courts-rule-workers-cannot-be-denied-employment-for-medical-cannabis-use\/\">duking it out<\/a>\u00a0in the courts to\u00a0<a href=\"\/nyc-on-the-verge-of-eliminating-drug-testing-for-marijuana-users\/\">mixed success<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>But one can only hope these dispatches from the realm of fame and fortune are optimistic omens rather than indicators that cannabis will be another arena for rich people to play and profit in while us normies cheer them on from the nosebleed section.\u00a0<\/p>\n<h4>Kylie Jenner Invests in Kannabidinol Kollaboration<\/h4>\n<p>K\u2019mon, it was only a matter of time before one of the Kardashians got their klaws into the kannabis business. You saw this koming, didn\u2019t you? Sorry. I\u2019ll try to kalm down and keep it to a minimum.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Basically, Michael Gonzalez is the CEO of a company called Happy Tea that sells CBD-infused tea and\u00a0<a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.thestreet.com\/video\/happy-tea-to-ipo-in-january-15064107\" target=\"_blank\">plans on going public in January<\/a>\u00a0\u2014 all with the support of Kylie Jenner, the youngest child of actual genius\/mogul Kris Jenner. The younger Jenner plugged Happy Tea to her 144.4 million Instagram followers via her Story, according to\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.refinery29.com\/en-us\/2019\/08\/8276029\/kylie-jenner-cbd-happy-tea-detox\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Refinery29<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>If this feels random, think again: I can assure you this is just another kalculated move from the family who tricked us all into buying bronzer for like, three years. Because Gonzalez is better known for peddling a product that\u2019s inextricable from the Kardashian universe: Fit Tea, the \u201cdetox\u201d drink that launched a thousand body-positive think pieces.\u00a0<\/p>\n<h4>Miley Cyrus Says Bong-Smoking Blew Up Walmart Deal<\/h4>\n<p>In a profanity-laced Twitter rant addressing rumors that her marriage ended due to infidelity, actress and musician Miley Cyrus professed her love for marijuana repeatedly and dropped a juicy detail about a major corporation in the process.\u00a0<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed-twitter wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">I lost a massive Walmart deal at 17 for ripping a bong.<\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Miley Ray Cyrus (@MileyCyrus) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/MileyCyrus\/status\/1164595246241603584?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">August 22, 2019<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<p>Iconic!\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Cyrus went on to describe herself as a detractor might, as a \u201ctwerking, pot-smoking, foul-mouthed hillbilly\u201d which, again, is iconic. Cyrus has never been shy about her love for bud, an affection that clearly\u00a0<a href=\"\/this-week-in-pot-culture-arizona-iced-tea-bad-posts-old-town-road\/\">runs in the family<\/a>, but the Walmart tidbit (which she\u2019s\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.businessinsider.com\/miley-cyrus-says-she-lost-walmart-deal-hitting-a-bong-2019-8?r=US&amp;IR=T\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">discussed previously<\/a>) earned her some appreciation from fans. \u201cKeep ripping that bong Miley I respect you more for endorsing weed than endorsing Walmart,\u201d said one. Honestly, same.<\/p>\n<h4>Snoop Passes the Blunt\u2026 to a Security Guard on the Clock<\/h4>\n<p>What is life if not a series of choices, decisions nobody could have ever prepared you for, which you have to make every single day? We are born alone, we die alone, and we conduct ourselves accordingly \u2014 although that conduct looks different for everyone, just as the topography of our lives is unique to each of us.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>I guess what I\u2019m saying is, you should make the decision to watch this security official make the decision to smoke a blunt that was passed to him by none other than Snoop Dogg himself. It\u2019s really funny.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed-instagram wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-instagram\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"instagram-media\">\n<div style=\"padding:16px\"> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/B1b1E0DgvVq\/\" style=\"background:#FFFFFF;line-height:0;padding:0 0;text-align:center;text-decoration:none;width:100%\" target=\"_blank\"> <\/p>\n<div>\n<div style=\"background-color: #F4F4F4;height: 40px;margin-right: 14px;width: 40px\" \/>\n<div>\n<div style=\"background-color: #F4F4F4;height: 14px;margin-bottom: 6px;width: 100px\" \/>\n<div style=\"background-color: #F4F4F4;height: 14px;width: 60px\" \/><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"padding: 19% 0\" \/>\n<div style=\"height:50px;margin:0 auto 12px;width:50px\" \/>\n<div style=\"padding-top: 8px\">\n<div style=\"color:#3897f0;font-family:Arial,sans-serif;font-size:14px;font-style:normal;font-weight:550;line-height:18px\"> View this post on Instagram<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"padding: 12.5% 0\" \/>\n<div style=\"margin-bottom: 14px\">\n<div>\n<div \/>\n<div \/>\n<div \/><\/div>\n<div style=\"margin-left: 8px\">\n<div style=\"background-color: #F4F4F4;height: 20px;width: 20px\" \/>\n<div \/><\/div>\n<div style=\"margin-left: auto\">\n<div \/>\n<div \/>\n<div \/><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><\/a> <\/p>\n<p style=\"margin:8px 0 0 0;padding:0 4px\"> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/B1b1E0DgvVq\/\" style=\"color:#000;font-family:Arial,sans-serif;font-size:14px;font-style:normal;font-weight:normal;line-height:17px;text-decoration:none\" target=\"_blank\">@snoopdogg the one and only<\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"color:#c9c8cd;font-family:Arial,sans-serif;font-size:14px;line-height:17px;margin-bottom:0;margin-top:8px;overflow:hidden;padding:8px 0 7px;text-align:center\">A post shared by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/royraveman\/\" style=\"color:#c9c8cd;font-family:Arial,sans-serif;font-size:14px;font-style:normal;font-weight:normal;line-height:17px\" target=\"_blank\"> Roy R<\/a> (@royraveman) on Aug 21, 2019 at 10:44am PDT<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<p>The best part of this video is that we can track this man\u2019s mental process through his physicality.
