Bob Marley would have been 73 today (February 6), and his legacy lives on in more ways than one.

Besides his music catalog, Marley’s name is also used as part of a cannabis brand, which is an ever-growing trend in entertainment with more and more states legalizing marijuana.  In honor of Marley’s birthday, here are five celebrity cannabis brands currently on the market.

Bob Marley – Marley Natural

Not only does Marley Natural sell its own “legal herbs,” it also features a whole line of high-end pipes and storage containers.

Tommy Chong – Chong’s Choice

The comedian’s product line is available in Arizona, California, Colorado, Montana, Oregon and Washington and includes pre-rolled joints to THC breath strips.

Tommy Chong helped invent the stoner comedy and inspire the pop culturalization of cannabis, yet the Grammy-winning actor and comedian later became a drug war POW for merely selling glass bongs. With this type of rep, the icon scored an immediate hit when he launched his new product line, Chong's Choice, and who better to test the goods than comedian Aristotle Georgeson, a.k.a.

Willie Nelson – Willie’s Reserve

In addition to actual marijuana, Willie’s Reserve also sells cannabis-infused chocolate and hard edibles.

Melissa Etheridge – Greenway Wine

Etheridge used medical marijuana when she was battling cancer in the early 2000s, and since then she’s partnered with Greenway Compassionate Relief to create Greenway Wine, a wine infused with pot.

Whoopi Goldberg – Whoopi & Maya

The Academy Award-winning actress and co-host of The View got into the medical marijuana business in 2008 along with Om Edibles founder Maya Elisabeth.  Their Whoopi & Maya line of bath products, body balms, tinctures and edibles is marketed toward women looking for natural relief of painful menstrual cycles.
