"Darkness cannot be dissipated with more darkness.
Likeness, name and song titles of the iconic rock guitarist, who died in 1970, set to be used array of new marijuana & edible hemp-based products.

It appears that Bob Marley and Willie Nelson may have some company in the fast-expanding field of active and deceased music icons with their own line of marijuana-related products.

On Monday, Toronto-based Nutritional High International Inc. announced it has "entered into an exclusive licensing agreement... under which the Company may manufacture and distribute various marijuana and hemp-based edible products using the song titles and bearing the likeness of iconic guitarist Jimi Hendrix."

The products in question, which will be marketed under the Edible Experiences banner, include "Purple Haze" and "Stone Free" lines. Both are named after popular songs by Hendrix, neither of which were about marijuana, but why quibble over technicalities?

The "Purple Haze" and "Stone Free" lines will, according to Nutritonal High, include "hemp oil-infused products, including gummy bears, hard candies and health and energy drinkable products."

Nutritional High also plans to market a Hendrix edible marijuana line, Jimi's Cannabis Collection, in conjunction with Purple Haze Properties, an American company that works in collaboration with Hendrix's brother, Leon, 67. Purple Haze Properties will independently launch other marijuana products, including dried marijuana leaves and Hendrix-branded cafes in "major marijuana markets" in the U.S.

He's why I picked up a strat 22 hrs ago and haven't put it down since....he's probably rolling over in his grave. This is a bunch of douche bags trying to get rich off a dead celeb...
 
^ Did you really mean 22 hours ago?
That is impressive, if literal, but I guess you might have meant 22 years (which is actually far more impressive, even if not literal).

I am also a huge Jimi fan. And I have slightly mixed feelings about this. Mostly negative, though.
"Trying to make money off a dead celeb" - yup. Stupid. I have no reason to buy that brand of cannabis in particular - it's not like Jimi endorsed it.
