Though celebrities have been creating cannabis lines and brands for years now, not many have been seen in medical markets. But, of course, we can leave it up to Trulieve, one of the largest medical multi-state operators, to start the trend. Trulieve is partnering with Khalifa Kush, Wiz Khalifa’s cannabis brand, to be the exclusive producer, processor, and retailer of the rapper’s branded products.
Trulieve x Khalifa Kush
Khalifa Kush products will be brought to the East Coast in various Trulieve dispensaries throughout Florida and eventually other markets also. These products will be available beginning this summer.
“We’re excited to partner with the undisputed leader in the Florida market,” said Wiz Khalifa. “Trulieve’s dedication to working with the community and creating an amazing customer experience perfectly lines up with our brand values, making them a great fit for our first expansion to the East Coast.”
Trulieve’s chief of marketing officer, Valda Coryat, said, “Trulieve is committed to delivering a broad selection of the highest-quality cannabis brands to better serve our patient communities. Khalifa Kush is a respected brand known for top-tier genetics among cannabis connoisseurs. We look forward to becoming the exclusive home of the brand’s premium products in Florida and eventually in other markets.”
Because of regulations in Florida, all legal cannabis must be grown in the state. Therefore, Khalifa Kush products that are sold in Florida will be grown in Florida by Trulieve. It is with high hopes that Trulieve translates Khalifa Kush’s highly respected West Coast quality to the East Coast.
