As is common among celebrity weed brands — Nathaniel Rateliff, Snoop Dogg, N.O.R.E., Rebelution and Wiz Khalifa have all joined in similar endeavors — GKUA has partnered with a local cultivator and extraction company for its Colorado efforts. Harmony Extracts, a well-known retail marijuana name in its own right, is producing GKUA-branded flower and vaping products.

Since he’s newly pardoned, rather coming here to Colorado to promote his weed brand, he should be going back to his home state of Louisiana and work on changing legislation around MJ laws, and help overturn unjust jail time for minor marijuana offenses. He could make a difference, but instead he wants to sell out.What do you think of Lil Wayne's line? Other cannabis companies launched by musicians?
