On 4/20 'Weed Day,' Celebrity-Named Marijuana Is A Hit At Pot Shops

The Huffington Post  |  By Posted: 04/20/2012 3:05 pm Updated: 04/20/2012 4:03 pm

Happy 4/20, aka National Pot Smokers Day. Care for a hit of "Obama Og"? Or "Vin Diesel"? Some marijuana dispensaries continue to name their weed after celebrities, even if the likes of Tom Cruise and Jeremy Lin occasionally object.

As these small businesses fight to survive a federal crackdown, some are even thinking of unionizing.

Is it any surprise then that a few might also turn to bold-faced name-power to help? Sure, the stores may be violating licensing rights without the stars' permission. And sometimes these mom-and-pot shops show questionable taste (Whitney Houston Og, for shame). But we're not their mother. Click onward for the A-list brands of herb on the market.

I ALSO DO NOT BUY INTO THE FACT IT IS A GATEWAY DRUG, But that would be a very lengthy discussion, and Huff Post does not give you that many words to be able to fully complete your response.

RODNEY DANGERFIELD, was asked many years ago about pot, and he responded " I never seen any fights break out over smoking pot, maybe just a real bad case of the munchies for yankee doodles or yodles, have I smoked pot? Yea sure! "
