Damian Marley, Bob Marley’s youngest
son, has made known his plans to go into the marijuana business. Reports
reveal that the reggae star is converting an empty prison in California
into a prescription marijuana farm.
The 38-year-old Marley is partnering
with Ocean Grown Extracts to purchase Claremont Custody Center in
Coalinga for a total sum of $4.1 million. The venture will involve
growing marijuana in the 77,000-square foot piece of land and
distributing their produce to state dispensaries.
The legendary reggae singer Bob
Marley, who passed away in 1981, converted to Rastafarianism and even
said he believed cannabis “opened up a spiritual door” for him.
Speaking to Billboard magazine,
Damian said, “Many people sacrificed so much for the herb over the years
who got locked up. If this helps people and it’s used for medicinal
purposes and inspires people, it’s a success.”
The junior Marley firmly said they’ll strictly grow specific types of the plant.
“A lot of things – integrity of the
product, something that I myself would use personally; also, something
that I don’t mind young people being involved in, that is a big thing
for me.”
