History
editLeafs 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
editLeafs 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]
