With this partnership we're welcoming a cannabis culture icon into the Canadian industry, and as a true partner of the Tweed team."
Starting with three whole-flower dried cannabis strains and expanding over time, Leafs by Snoop will be a full spectrum offering of diverse strains including a high CBD option and mid to high-range THC options.
To celebrate the launch of Leafs by Snoop {A –} available north of the border for the first time {A –} Tweed will be throwing Snoop a private birthday party for him and a thousand of his closest Tweed Friends on October 27 th in Toronto.

Now that Leafs by Snoop is coming to Tweed, I'll be able to share my passion for the best cannabis on the planet with Canada."
