SMITHS FALLS, ON, Oct. 6, 2016 /CNW/ - Tweed Inc. (Tweed),
Canada's largest and most
recognized producer of cannabis, and Snoop Dogg (Snoop), the
world's most renowned cannabis connoisseur, are please to announce
that Leafs by Snoop will be available in Canada this October, exclusively to customers
registered with Tweed.
Since announcing this first-of-a-kind partnership in February,
Tweed and the iconic entrepreneur have been carefully working to
select, phenotype, and ultimately produce a selection of cannabis
strains that represent the highest quality of flower, while meeting
a cross-section of patient needs. The Tweed Shop will soon be home
to the first three Canadian Leafs by Snoop varieties –
Sunset, Ocean View and Palm Tree CBD – a nod to the West Coast
rapper's California heritage.
"At this stage in his career, Snoop is much more than an artist,
entertainer and entrepreneur," said Mark
Zekulin, President of Tweed. "He's also one of the
most trusted voices in cannabis the world over. With this
partnership we're welcoming a cannabis culture icon into the
Canadian industry, and as a true partner of the Tweed team."
Starting with three whole-flower dried cannabis strains and
expanding over time, Leafs by Snoop will be a full spectrum
offering of diverse strains including a high CBD option and mid to
high-range THC options.
To celebrate the launch of Leafs by Snoop – available
north of the border for the first time – Tweed will be throwing
Snoop a private birthday party for him and a thousand of his
closest Tweed Friends on October
27th in Toronto.
"Like hip-hop, cannabis is as much a lifestyle as it is a
culture. Leafs by Snoop is an expression of my experience
with that culture over decades on the scene," says Snoop. "What
started for me in the 90s in Cali
now has a home in places like Colorado, where real progress is being made.
Now that Leafs by Snoop is coming to Tweed, I'll be able to share
my passion for the best cannabis on the planet with Canada."

North, Here's to Future Growth.
