They also offer cartridges for vape pen, as well as a range of Marley Natural accessories, such as grinders, rolling trays bubblers and other Marley Natural products.

«I think my dad would be thrilled to see a cannabis dispensary open at the Bob Marley Museum. When I think about how far the world has come in terms of attitudes towards cannabis and the eventual recognition of the many positive qualities it has to offer, this is exactly what my father and the Rastafari community have been saying for over 40 years. He's done so much to foster positive understanding that it's only right that we do this for him and his legacy,» said Stephen Marley.
