Singer Justin Bieber is joining the ranks of celebrities like Willie Nelson and Seth Rogen who are capitalizing on the burgeoning legal cannabis market.

Bieber is partnering with a California cannabis company to create a line of limited edition pre-rolled joints, dubbed "Peaches" after his hit song from early 2021.

"I get my peaches down in Georgia," Bieber sings in the song's chorus. "I get my weed from California."

Though the line of Peaches pre-rolled joints will be sold in California, they'll also be available in Nevada, Florida, and Massachusetts according to Bieber's partner, Palms.

Bieber said he hooked up with Palms because he digs its goal of "making cannabis approachable and helping to destigmatize it."

Per Palms' website, the company focuses on producing pre-rolled cannabis joints for "first time and casual consumers," rather than the more common approach of catering to the most-experienced, heavy cannabis users.

"I'm a fan of Palms and what they are doing by making cannabis approachable and helping to destigmatize it," Bieber said in a statement sent to Rolling Stone. "Especially for the many people who find it helpful for their mental health."

Bieber is among a growing list of celebrities who are either lending their name or outright creating cannabis-related products. When actor Seth Rogen launched his brand in March, the website crashed from overwhelming demand. Snoop Dogg has been lending his name to cannabis products going back years, as have singer Willie Nelson and actor Tommy Chong.

Opportunities are sure to increase as more American states open up to recreational cannabis sales in the coming years.
