Breaking Bud: GRiZ Launches Line of Custom Cannabis Strains
A friend with weed is a friend indeed, and GRiZ is taking his best buds national with the launch of two premium cannabis lines. Let’s be blunt: the strain of the pandemic is brutal for many. And if GRiZ’s last album somehow didn’t toke your breath away (sorry, can’t help these puns), his new custom weed will. GRiZ has announced the sale of two brands: the THC-focused Astro Hippie and the CBD line Telescope. The former, an homage to DIY stoner culture that will soon debut in GRiZ’s home state of Michigan, is described as a potent series of flower strains designed for “experimenters” who want to blast off. Many believe weed is a love language, and Astro Hippie, GRiZ says, is a billet-doux to the cannabis c...
