*Damian “Jr. Gong” Marley is setting up shop in weed-friendly Colorado.
Bob Marley’s youngest son today announced the opening of Stony Hill, a new marijuana dispensary he is opening in partnership with Colorado-based dispensary company Tru Cannabis, reports Billboard.
The retail spot, set to opens next Thursday (Sept. 22), will feature a full line of cannabis-based products for sale, including edibles, extracts and a variety of different strains.
“I didn’t know in my lifetime I’d be opening a dispensary,” Marley tells Billboard. “We’ve always been advocates of legalizing marijuana and we always had the hope in our lifetime that we’d be involved in something like this, but I didn’t predict this would happen.”
According to Billboard, Marley, 38, personally helped develop and test the dispensary’s namesake and signature, Stony Hill, which is also the name of his fourth album due out next year. The name has a special meaning to the singer.
“Stony Hill is a place in Jamaica I grew up so it has a lot of significance,” Marley says of the area in St. Andrew’s Parish near Kingston.
Marley says he has more cannabis business ventures to announce soon. Meanwhile he is hosting a brand launch party for the dispensary on Sept. 22 at Denver’s Field House.
