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

History

[edit]

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]

In June 2016, it was reported that Snoop Dogg was in a trademark dispute with the 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 by Canopy Growth Corporation, though the Canadian government had warned about celebrity endorsements of cannabis products.[3] In February 2019, the Toronto Maple Leafs confirmed that they had filed an intellectual property lawsuit.[4]

Description

[edit]

Leafs by Snoop offers eight products:[5]

  • 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

The flower is sold in eighth, quarter and 1-ounce packages.[citation needed]

The Atlantic noted that the carefully designed packaging by Pentagram had been designed "to make marijuana appeal to upscale consumers".[6]
