During his many years as leader of the Grateful Dead, Jerry Garcia became one of the most famous marijuana advocates on the planet. His family decided a few years ago to carry that legacy forward with a brand of cannabis products.<\/p>\n

Even though Garcia died in 1995, his name ranks among one of the most well-known on the list of celebrities with cannabis products, a list that now includes Gwyneth Paltrow<\/a>, Jay Z<\/a> and Martha Stewart<\/a>. The Grateful Dead famously have legends of dedicated fans – Deadheads – who follow the band and attend their shows. They helped make Garcia one of most beloved figures in rock and roll history.<\/p>\n

His family, aware of Garcia\u2019s legacy, did not try to become the first to enter the business.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt took a long time to get here. We didn\u2019t rush into things,\u201d Trixie Garcia said on the Garcia Hand Picked website<\/a>. \u201cPeople trust us to make the right decisions. We\u2019ve hand-picked the best possible partners for the brand and my dad\u2019s legacy.”<\/p>\n

Products offered by Garcia Hand Picked<\/h2>\n

Garcia Hand Picked has developed the products to back up the name. The company offers beautifully designed tins that contain 3.5 grams of sativa, indica and a hybrid variety of flower. They also offer pre-rolls in sativa, indica and hybrid that come with a monogrammed glass mouthpiece.<\/p>\n

Garcia Hand Picked also offers 5mg THC gummies, shaped like Garcia\u2019s guitar picks, in blueberry, raspberry and blackberry flavors. They come in a tin of 20 gummies each.<\/p>\n

Everything sold by the company is chosen by Garcia\u2019s family. Three of Garcia\u2019s daughters launched the company along with other family members.<\/p>\n

The Family Searched Years for the Right Weed<\/h3>\n

The Garcia Hand Picked brand launched in 2020. It recently made the news again when it became available in Oregon,which is where many members of Garcia\u2019s family live. According to the brand\u2019s website, it\u2019s also available in Maryland, Massachusetts and California. Jilian Locricchio, director of events for Garcia Hand Picked, told<\/a> KGW-8 in Portland that the family continues to work hard to make sure the brand \u201crepresents Jerry and the community he created.”<\/p>\n

She said many members of Garcia\u2019s family live in Oregon, \u201c”Many of them live here in Oregon still, and as children they were raised here in the Willamette Valley on their mom’s organic farm.”<\/p>\n

The daughters spent years trying different types of cannabis, according to an interview given<\/a> to Esquire. Trixie Garcia, who is president of the Jerry Garcia estate, said the daughter\u2019s launching of the brand fulfilled Garcia\u2019s dream. \u201cThis is exactly the kind of thing he would want to be behind. Cannabis as a connection to reality, the real reality and not the fake reality that we are all part of, just like his music.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
