I guess their own Whiskey line was not enough.
The Trailer Park Boys figured that you don’t get enough laughs out of their show and that their fans need an extra boost to enjoy their jokes. The trio have teamed up with Organigram to add cannabis to their portfolio
Per Q107
According to Vice, Mike Smith (Bubbles), John Paul Tremblay (Julian), and Robb Wells(Ricky) announced on Wednesday that they’ve partnered with OrganiGram, a licensed producer of medical marijuana based in Moncton, N.B. The two companies inked a contract to brand their recreational marijuana product when it is legalized.
A release on the agreement says OrganiGram and TPB Productions Limited will “develop branding, packaging, and a competitive product portfolio targeted towards recreational marijuana consumers and distributed exclusively by OrganiGram.”
“We have been monitoring closely to best understand how we might be able to enter the cannabis space in Canada,” says Louis Thomas, President of Sonic Entertainment Group, representing TPB Production Ltd. “After our initial meeting with the Maritime-based executive team at OrganiGram, we all felt strongly that they were the perfect partner and the timing was right to move forward.”
“This relationship solidifies one of our strategic building blocks as we plan for the legalization of recreational use in Canada. The team at Trailer Park Boys have an aligned vision to develop a National brand with our assistance and we’re incredibly excited at how the partnership will come to life,” said Ray Gracewood, Chief Commercial Officer at OrganiGram.
Gracewood said the exclusive five-year arrangement has been in the works for about a year.
“It began with both sides, in a forward-looking way, understanding the importance of brands within the recreational market space,” he said. “We both have a strong Maritime connection and we’re unique within our industries of being from the Maritimes.”
Now, recreational isn’t legal as of yet in Cananda, but that’s not a problem for anyone involved. This partnership is based on what will happen. And it will happen.
