To celebrate, Dad Grass today announced a special collaboration of hemp-derived CBD + CBG pre-rolls and accessories, in close collaboration with the George Harrison Estate. The extent of his influence on music is difficult to gauge, given that Harrison’s extraordinary talent emerged from becoming the best-selling musical act of all time in certified sales.

“George himself was a mystical mix. A mix of cultures, styles, times — whatever,” Dad Grass co-founders Ben Starmer and Joshua Katz told High Times. “He was living proof that certain blends, with the right ingredients and in the right proportions, do it better. So we set out to make a whole new type of joint. A mix of Dad Grass CBD flower and Mom Grass CBG flower. CBD for physical harmony and CBG for mental clarity. A peaceful balance of our two most popular and insightful cannabinoids, all packaged to deliver what we call a “heart high.”

“Both Dad Grass and the George Harrison Estate enjoy working with friends who share a similar sensibility, sense of humor and sense of what the world needs,” they said in a joint statement. “What started as a casual ‘Wouldn’t it be classy if…’ conversation among friends (mainly around the idea ‘All Things Must Grass!’) quickly turned into a ‘We have to do something together’ conversation.”

Many people, myself included, quit smoking tobacco cigarettes with the help of hemp, as nicotine is the main cause of impulsive cigarette cravings. Smoking a hemp cigarette satisfies the psychological need to smoke something, but the person does not get nicotine, which is very different in terms of craving.

Most people are aware of the tremendous influence cannabis has had on The Beatles’ music, but the band members have also done more than the average cannabis advocate. Harrison paid for an expensive full-page ad to run in the London Times on July 24, 1967, and joined the Beatles, manager Brian Epstein and a few dozen activists in — insistently — urging lawmakers to ban marijuana in the United States Legalize Britain Bob Dylan’s visit is often cited as their first experience, but Harrison wrote in a memoir that they were confronted with it by the older brother of a fellow drummer in Liverpool.
