Leafs By Snoop

Leafs By Snoop is a cannabis brand owned and promoted by rapper Snoop Dogg and produced by Canopy Growth Corporation.

History

Leafs By Snoop was launched in November 2015 in Denver, Colorado, at the home of LivWell owner John Lord, a few months after the website Merry Jane was launched.[1][2][3]

In June 2016, it was reported that Snoop Dogg was in a trademark dispute with Canadian ice hockey team the Toronto Maple Leafs over his Leafs by Snoop logo.[1] By 2018, the Leafs By Snoop products were distributed in Canada through Canopy Growth Corporation, though the Canadian government had warned about celebrity endorsements of cannabis products.[4] In February 2019, the Toronto Maple Leafs confirmed they had filed an intellectual property lawsuit.[5]

Description

Leafs by Snoop offers 8 products[6] :

  • Indica dominant: Bananas, Northern Lights, Moonbeam, Cali Kush and Purple bush
  • Sativa dominant: Lemon Pie, Blueberry Dream and Tangerine Man
  • High-CBD strain called 3D CBD

Flower is sold in eighth, quarter and 1-ounce packages.

The Atlantic noted that the carefully designed packaging by Pentagram has been designed "to make marijuana appeal to upscale consumers."[7]

gollark: I'm not really dependent on any *particular* corporations.
gollark: I mean, openly-ish, given the current state of things, not fully openly.
gollark: I, for one, like having a functional modern economy, although there are large and significant problems.
gollark: A lot of the time "revolutions" seem to just be because one smaller group wants to impose a view which "everyone totally agrees with" on everyone else.
gollark: You can do that nonviolently. I suspect most people do not actually feel the same way, so it won't do much.
