Marley Natural was born from a partnership between Bob Marley's family and Privateer Holdings, announced in November 2014. The brand officially launched in February 2016 on what would have been Bob Marley's 71st birthday, marking a historic moment as the first global cannabis brand rooted in the legacy of a cultural icon.The collaboration began in early 2013 when the Marley family and Privateer Holdings discovered their shared values around social change, environmental sustainability, and building a professional, responsible legal cannabis industry. Led by Bob's daughter Cedella Marley as CEO and supported by family members including Stephen and Rohan Marley, the brand represents more than just cannabis products—it embodies Bob's belief that "the herb" was a sacred tool for healing, creativity, and self-discovery.The brand made its debut at three medical marijuana dispensaries in Los Angeles, launching with heirloom Jamaican-inspired strains, premium accessories, and body care products. Since then, Marley Natural has evolved into a respected name in the cannabis industry, staying true to Bob's advocacy for cannabis legalization that began over 50 years ago.
Marley Natural's mission centers on honoring Bob Marley's belief in the positive potential of herb to heal and inspire, promoting awareness, authenticity, and genuine respect for nature's benefits. The brand acts as an agent of change, promoting positivity, connectivity, and personal transformation while offering an exceptional lifestyle line rooted in Jamaica's vibrant culture.Marley Natural is committed to ensuring that families and communities harmed by cannabis prohibition have the opportunity to benefit from the new legal cannabis economy. Environmental responsibility guides every decision, from cultivation and packaging to distribution, with mindfulness about protecting the environment for future generations.Through their Rise Up initiative in partnership with GlobalGiving, Marley Natural supports socially minded and environmentally conscious projects that positively impact communities, with focus on social justice, environmental sustainability, and lifting up communities damaged by prohibition.
At Calm Effect, we appreciate Marley Natural for bringing genuine authenticity to the cannabis industry. Their Rise Up program goes beyond lip service—they've hosted expungement events helping people vacate non-violent cannabis convictions, directly addressing the harm caused by prohibition. The program supports projects in Jamaica and the United States, from protecting marine ecosystems to empowering local farmers, staying true to Bob's vision of community care.What sets them apart is their commitment to quality without compromise—sustainably grown, pesticide-free cannabis tested for potency and purity. Their color-coded strain system makes it easy for both newcomers and connoisseurs to find the right experience. The brand doesn't just trade on Bob Marley's name; they honor his philosophy that cannabis should heal, inspire creativity, and connect people to themselves and nature.
