The effects are light enough to start your day with, making this strain ideal for early treatment of depression and fatigue. These sticky, spiky buds offer a pungent sweet aroma with musky Afghani undertones, delivering effects that are strong in both physical and cerebral sensation. Indoor and outdoor grows can expect flowers between 60 and 65 days. Jamaican Lion is a high-CBD sativa strain with mildly psychoactive effects that stimulate creativity and focus without the loss of functionality.
Its rich genetic background combines Mountain Lion — a Rockbud and Lionheart cross — with a Jamaican sativa known as Yarders. Ushered in by a sweet herbal aroma, Jamaican Lion induces mild psychoactivity that carries through despite its low THC content. Sensory perception sharpens as bad moods dull in clear-headed sensations that can be described as simultaneously uplifting and calming.
Marley Natural, the New York marijuana startup funded with Silicon Valley money, has come out with a line of weed strains branded in the name of late reggae icon and vehement anti-capitalist Bob Marley.
The four types of cannabis will be available in some California dispensaries today, before expanding to the four other US states where marijuana has been decriminalized. The company has also launched a line of natural beauty products and smoking accessories that will be sold nationwide. Today's announcement marks the first product launch from Marley Natural , which was created in with funding from Privateer Holdings, a Seattle-based private equity firm that invests in marijuana businesses.
Peter Thiel's Founders Fund, an early Facebook backer, is among its investors. Marley Natural positions itself as a "global marijuana brand" that embodies the reggae star's Rastafarian virtues, but the startup has faced criticism for profiting off of Jamaican culture while doing little for the island itself.
The marijuana line announced today includes four strains of cannabis flower and oil — Marley Green, Red, Gold, and Black — each grown to elicit different effects in smokers. Marley Green is described as a hybrid strain that's "appropriate for anytime use," while those looking for a "more physical, full-body experience" are encouraged to try the indica-heavy Marley Black. All four strains are locally grown in California and pesticide-free, and can be smoked with a Marley Natural pipe made of "sustainably grown" American black walnut.
According to the company, that's the only way Bob would have it. With today's launch, Marley Natural joins a growing field of celebrity-branded marijuana products, as investors look to capitalize on a burgeoning market. Willie Nelson, Snoop Dogg, and Wiz Khalifa have all started or lent their names to various weed-related ventures, but few stars are as universally synonymous with the drug as Marley, who spoke and sang at length of its spiritual and healing powers. Marley Natural believes its products will help spread that message, even in traditional retailers selling its hemp seed body care products.
But Marley also railed against the evils of capitalism and imperialism, which makes the Privateer partnership a rather uncomfortable union for some. Mike Alleyne, a professor in the recording industry department at Middle Tennessee State University and author of an encyclopedia on reggae, says it's inevitable that a marijuana brand would seek to profit off the Marley legacy, noting that it's already been used to promote coffee, ice cream, and headphones. Forbes ranked the singer fourth on its list of highest-earning dead celebrities in Why Marley smoked marijuana and what it meant to him and his music might not be what you think.
Bob Marley smoked marijuana because he practiced the Rastafarian religion, wherein the use of "ganja," as it is called, is a holy sacrament. The word ganja is the Rastafarian term derived from the ancient Sanskrit language for marijuana , which itself is a Spanish word for cannabis. One feature of Rastafarianism that is often misrepresented is the ritual use of marijuana. Pious Rastas do not and should not use marijuana recreationally; instead, it is reserved for religious and medicinal purposes.
Some Rastafarians do not use it at all. When they do use marijuana, the purpose is to aid in meditation and perhaps help the user achieve greater mystical insight into the nature of the universe. Marley converted to Rastafarianism from Christianity in the mids, well before he achieved any international fame as a reggae musician. His conversion coincided with the conversions of thousands of his fellow Jamaicans of African descent, and as his fame grew, he began to stand as a symbol of both his culture and his religion.
Bob Marley did not use cannabis recreationally and did not see its use as a casual matter. He viewed marijuana as a holy rite, much as Catholics view Holy Communion or some Native Americans view the ceremonial usage of peyote.
Viewing himself as a holy person as do all Rastafarians , Marley strongly believed that marijuana opened up a spiritual door that allowed him to become the artist and poet he was. Marley's first singles were recorded in , but in he founded a band that eventually became the Wailers. Although the band broke up in , he continued to tour and record as Bob Marley and the Wailers.
Prior to the breakup, two of the Wailers' songs from the album "Burnin'" gathered cult followings in both the U.
