Singer Jimmy Buffet coasts into the medical marijuana business

No, he’s not changing the song to “Marijuanaville,” but the singer and entrepreneur Jimmy Buffet will be licensing a line of cannabis products, reported The Palm Beach Post on Tuesday.

Jimmy Buffett, a Palm Beach resident who lobbied for Florida residents to legalize medical marijuana, will license his Coral Reefer brand to Atlanta-based marijuana producer Surterra Holdings Inc. for a line of cannabis products that will include vape pens, gel caps, edibles and lotions, according to the newspaper.

“Cannabis is good medicine and should be made available to all who need it,” Buffett said Tuesday in a statement.

Buffett already licenses his famous brand to restaurants, hotels, casinos, retirement communities and Anheuser-Busch InBev’s Landshark Lager, according to the newspaper.
