Natural cannabis is currently available in dispensaries across
northern and southern California. Lifestyle accessories and body care
products are available nationwide at specialty retailers, as well as

“We are fortunate to be living during a promising time of positive
change, especially with regard to cannabis and how people understand it.
My father would be so happy to see so many people appreciating the
natural, healing power of the herb,” said Cedella Marley, Bob’s daughter.
Rise Up™: Marley Natural Gives Back to Oregon
In the spirit of giving back both to Jamaica and to communities that
have been harmed by cannabis prohibition, Marley Natural has
created a social impact initiative called Rise Up. Rise Up
funds a series of carefully curated projects that reflect Bob’s vision
for an inclusive and compassionate community where people take care of
each other and the environment.
In Oregon, Marley Natural has partnered with the Minority
Cannabis Business Association (MCBA), the first non-profit
organization created specifically to progress the cannabis industry by
increasing diversity. Marley Natural’s partnership with the MCBA
will create a Rise Up Expungement Day to help men
and women who have been convicted of non-violent cannabis related
offenses file a motion to set aside felony and non-felony arrests or
conviction charges that qualify for expungement. Learn more about Rise
Up Expungement Day at http://www.minoritycannabis.org/expungement-day.html.
In Jamaica, Rise Up is funding projects with four organizations
across the island, each dedicated to empowering local farmers, fishers,
and entrepreneurs: Oracabessa Bay Fish Sanctuary, Farm Up Jamaica,
Golden Valley Farmer’s Group and Occupy Pinnacle. In California, Rise
Up has partnered with Defy Ventures, an entrepreneurship,
employment, and character development training program for currently and
formerly incarcerated men, women, and youth.
Marley Natural’s commitment to giving back to Jamaica and
communities harmed by prohibition through Rise Up will grow in
scale and scope as we expand our operations globally.

About Marley Natural Products
Sun-Grown Cannabis Flower, Pre-Rolls and Oil
Marley Natural cannabis flower, pre-rolls and oil are
hand-selected from local farms run by experienced growers committed to
sustainable growing practices. Sun-grown, natural and free of harmful
pesticides, chemicals or fertilizers, all Marley Natural products
are tested and clearly labeled for potency, purity and safety prior to
sale. Marley Natural cannabis flower, pre-rolls and oil are
available in four categories, each featuring different strains depending
on harvest availability:
-
Marley Green features hybrid strains recommended for people
beginning their journey with Marley Natural. Marley Green
strains have balanced levels of THC that combine the cerebral high of
sativa with the physical relaxation of indica. Marley Green strains
are appropriate for anytime use. -
Marley Gold features sativa strains that offer energetic,
uplifting effects that may produce a more cerebral experience compared
to other cannabis strains. Marley Gold strains are appropriate for
daytime use. -
Marley Red features CBD-rich strains that combine CBD and THC
in a beneficial ratio. CBD-rich cannabis is frequently reported to
provide patients and consumers with anti-inflammatory, analgesic and
anti-anxiety properties without the psychoactive effects of strains
high in THC. Marley Red strains are appropriate for anytime use. -
Marley Black features indica strains recommended for
connoisseurs seeking a more physical, full-body experience. Marley
Black strains are high in THC and appropriate for nighttime use.
Naturally-Derived Cannabis Sativa Body Care Infused with Jamaican
Botanicals
The Marley Natural body care line offers naturally-derived
formulas that blend the moisturizing power of hemp seed oil with
Jamaican botanicals (including ginger, lemongrass, turmeric, and
cerasse). All formulas contain cold-pressed hemp seed oil rich in
essential fatty acids, Omega-3s and Omega-6s. All formulas are paraben,
sulfate and cruelty free. Body care products are available for sale
nationally via www.MarleyNaturalShop.com.
The hemp seed body care products include an essential oil blend, body
lotion, body wash, body salve, hand cream, bar soap and a lip balm.
Sustainably Grown American Black Walnut Smoking Accessories
Balancing intuitive design with Jamaican-inspired accents, Marley
Natural’s smoking accessories cater to discerning herb connoisseurs
who celebrate the ritual of smoking. The collection features products
made from sustainably grown American Black Walnut wood and
heat-resistant, hand-blown glass, all boxed in 100% recyclable
packaging. Each product is designed to ensure durability, convenient
maintenance, and a comfortable hand-feel. The accessories are designed
to be used only with legal smoking herbs and are not intended to be used
with tobacco products. The collection is available for sale nationwide
at specialty retailers, as well as online at www.MarleyNaturalShop.com.
The collection includes a taster, a spoon pipe, a steamroller, a
bubbler, and a grinder, as well as prep trays and storage devices.
