Licensing
We specialize in partnering with celebrities and movie production companies to capitalize on their intellectual property for the cannabis market. We offer licensing and support for the development and distribution of branded hardware and cannabis products, and we also generate revenue through royalties based on our agreements with various IP holders.
Our economic interest arises from the agreements we have in place and the types of products we offer in the market. We currently capitalize on royalties from the following recognizable names: Jay and Silent Bob (JSB), Trailer Park Boys, Cheech and Chong Up In Smoke, Pineapple Express, Ice Cube, and more.
Additionally, we develop branded hardware such as trays, for which we receive a share of the agreements based on the products sold. Our specialty branded cannabis products are developed in partnership with celebrities and are designed to deliver a consistent and unique smoking experience. We use patented infusion technology that is unmatched in the market, and we work with in-state licensees to produce these smokeable products.
Our expertise in licensing, supporting, and capitalizing on intellectual property in the cannabis market helps our clients reach their target audience and generate revenue. If you’re a celebrity or movie production company looking to monetize your IP in the cannabis industry, we’re here to help you every step of the way.
Joint Ventures
At present, we are proud to be in a joint venture partnership with two prominent celebrities in the entertainment industry: Ice Cube and Kevin Smith. Our partnership with these renowned individuals involves developing and marketing branded hardware and cannabis products that are reflective of their unique vision and appeal to their loyal fanbase.
