From Bob Marley to Louis Armstrong, marijuana has played a vital role in their successful music career. Back in the 1930’s, when weed vaporizers were not on the market, Los Angeles County put Louis Armstrong in jail for nine days because he smoked a joint while performing and Jazz music was labeled as “Satanic.” Being a strong advocate of Potheads, Bob Marley had done a lot more than just getting high; He was a very religious person, and smoking was like a form of meditation to him. Marijuana helped him to connect with his inner spirituality. Bob Marley once famously said, “Herb is the healing of the nation; alcohol is the destruction.” One study in the 1970’s found that marijuana enhanced the ability to perceive sounds at the very top of our hearing range, around 6000Hz. Not only do individuals under the influence hear these sound better, but they also reported enjoying higher-pitched sounds more.

In the 1970’s, a study found that people who had consumed marijuana before listening to music perceive that sound increased to 6000Hz. Reportedly, people who smoke weed before listening to music get a better-quality sound as well. Modern-day hip-hop artists, including Snoop Dogg and Wiz Khalifa are also influenced by weed. Dr. Dre and Snoop Dogg showed their love for weed quite evidently on their famous track, “The Next Episode.” Many great rappers are born in Michigan, such as Eminem, Royce Da 5’9” and Big Sean, etc. So, if you are a cannabis lover and stay in Michigan, you may visit any legalized medical marijuana dispensary in Ann Arbor. Weed and music always shared a romantic relationship, straight from the beginning.

1.  A Major Impact: Marijuana was appreciated by the Jazz musicians in the 1920’s and 1930’s, and admiring its dignity, many popular songs were written. Everyone knows the amazing journey of The Beetles and how the band members came to India in search of higher spiritual growth. They explored different forms of ganja in the land of spirituality and promoted the same ideas in the west, through their music.

  • With poetic lyrics, Bob Dylan became a legendary classic rock sensation. Bob Dylan is the person who introduced marijuana to The Beatles. 
  • In 1964, in a New York City hotel, The Beatles members smoked marijuana. 

2.  Cannabis and Rap music: Two of the greatest icons in the “Stoner Rap” category are Snoop Dogg, and Wiz Khalifa. Snoop Dogg and Cypress Hill are the early 90’s rapper’s who contributed the most in establishing the term “Stoner Rap.” They were both, the first who lead a lifestyle encircling cannabis. Many of their songs are about cannabis and in their music videos, we also see them smoking. Their merchandise and their shows are also about embracing the cannabis culture. 

  • All the stoner rappers have their musical genres and specific lyrical style. This includes all the genre of stoner rappers, like 2 Chainz and Lil Wayne and especially Trap music artists. And also, the genre of Nate Dogg and Eazy-E is “G-Funk,” strongly related to the cannabis culture. 
  • The term “Stoner Rap” makes sense when an artist establishes a positive lifestyle based on cannabis. 

3.  Pop Influencers: Famous teen stars Miley Cyrus and pop icons like Lady Gaga and Madonna also promote smoking weed. Miley has been seen wearing dresses with weed-graffiti on them during several occasions. She even performed on stage wearing a bodysuit that showed glittered leaves of marijuana plants. Lady Gaga, a proud New Yorker, famously stated in an interview that smoking weed has helped her connect with music spiritually.

You have the power to put the usage of cannabis into a gleaming light in society, like Wiz Khalifa. Being an extraordinary father, he knows the positivity and is open to the thought altering ideas the cannabis plant offers. It helps him to work hard and to make great music. Snoop Dogg has normalized the consumption of weed during his whole music career. 

Many great artists and musicians of all ages have been inspired by the usage of cannabis. If you are a budding performer who needs a little inspiration; cannabis may serve as a motif to become a better musician. In recent years, quite a few legislation initiatives have been passed to provide people with safe access to recreational marijuana as an option.

Wiz Khalifa Partners with Supreme to Expand Cannabis Brand https://mjshareholders.com/wiz-khalifa-partners-with-supreme-to-expand-cannabis-brand/ Tue, 18 Dec 2018 18:45:46 +0000 http://www.cannabisfn.com/?p=2099403

Exclusive, News, Press Releases, Top News


The music industry has become increasingly intertwined with the cannabis industry over the past several years. With the partnership between Canopy Growth Corp. (TSX: WEED) (NYSE: CGC) and Snoop Dogg in 2016, these relationships grew even closer on an international level. Cannabis companies around the world have sought out ways to partner with these musicians to leverage their cannabis expertise.

The Supreme Cannabis Company Inc. (TSX-V: FIRE) (OTCQX: SPRWF) (FRA: 53S1) recently announced an exclusive consulting agreement with Wiz Khalifa’s Khalifa Kush Enterprises (KKE) to develop and launch a line of premium cannabis products into the nascent Canadian market. The move could bring KKE’s tremendously successful strains in the United States market north of the border into Canada’s newly recreational market.

The Cannabis Tastemaker

Wiz Khalifa is a Grammy Award-winning American rapper, singer, songwriter, and actor that has become an icon within the cannabis community. After partnering with Colorado-based RiverRock Cannabis in 2016, Khalifa developed his own line of regulated marijuana strains, products, and concentrates under the Khalifa Kush brand. These products have already hit dispensary shelves across most states where cannabis has been legalized.

In addition to creating his own cannabis strains, the musician has taken other avenues to raise awareness for the cannabis industry. He launched Weed Farm on 4/20 last year—a mobile game where players can operate their own marijuana businesses—and continues to release albums, like Rolling Papers, that are cannabis-focused. He also continues to perform at cannabis cups and other industry events around the world.

The move follows many other high-profile celebrities that have introduced their own brands, including Snoop Dogg’s Leafs by Snoop, Bob Marley’s (heirs) Marley Naturals, Margaret Cho’s Cho-G, Willie Nelson’s Willie’s Reserve, and Tommy Chong’s Chong’s Choice. The popularity of these cannabis icons has made them extremely valuable to cannabis companies in the United States looking to expand consumer awareness.

Expansion into Canada

The Supreme Cannabis Company recently announced an exclusive consulting services agreement with Khalifa Kush Enterprises Canada ULC—an affiliate of Khalifa Kush Enterprises LLC in the United States. Under the terms of the agreement, the two companies will develop and launch a line of premium cannabis products under the KKE brand and distribute them through Canada’s nascent recreational market.

“Canada is a very important place to me with the idea for ‘Kush and Orange Juice’ being created in Toronto, it’s the perfect start for the international expansion of Khalifa Kush,” said Wiz Khalifa, Principal of KKE. “My team and I have spent the past year finding a partner that shares our vision, values, and passion for cannabis. The team at Supreme Cannabis understands the importance of high quality cannabis and how to produce [it at scale].”

Supreme Cannabis will have exclusive rights to the KKE brand within Canada, as well as potential expansion into international markets, pending approval from KKE and the legal status of the products in those markets. While celebrity endorsements aren’t permitted by Health Canada, the KKE brand’s strong reputation in the United States could help reassure customers of the ultra-premium quality of the cannabis.

“Wiz is a globally-recognized cannabis taste maker and connoisseur,” said Supreme Cannabis President John Fowler. “I was impressed by the quality of the ‘Khalifa Kush’ strain and the level of care and involvement Wiz had with developing the strain and working with cultivators to continue to improve quality batch-by-batch. We’re excited to be working with KKE Canada to build out another brand with the same commitment to quality.”

Looking Ahead

The Supreme Cannabis Company Inc. (TSX-V: FIRE) (OTCQX: SPRWF) (FRA: 53S1) represents a compelling investment opportunity in Canada’s cannabis industry. In addition to its partnership with Wiz Khalifa, the company’s 7ACRES licensed producer subsidiary operates a 342,000 sq. ft. facility in Ontario that has already secured numerous provincial supply agreements and consistently ranks high among recreational brands.

The company’s portfolio also includes an equity investment and long-term global distribution partnership with Lesotho-based Medigrow for the exportation of medical-grade cannabis oil.
