The “Merry Jane” team has also partnered with key players in entertainment, media, and technology, including strategic advisor, Guy Oseary, and content partners like Seth Rogen, to help in building out a robust platform that will showcase the new face of the cannabis community.
“I’ve been a long-time, proud supporter of the marijuana movement.
After watching where the cannabis industry is headed, I wanted to create a platform that will take this movement further by creating a destination where people could find fresh content,” Snoop Dogg, co-founder of Merry Jane said. “Merry Jane” is a game-changing platform for pop culture. It’s a new frontier y’all!”
To optimize the experience for the official launch of the site in October, Merry Jane’s beta site, Merryjane.com is starting today to allow access to 420 users per day for those who sign-up.
Merry Jane will bring users content from all facets of the cannabis industry.
Editorial content will include original videos, such as Deflowered, a groundbreaking interview series that will profile innovative people as they enjoy cannabis and share conversation about new life experiences. Merry Jane will also include a cross-section of cultural and lifestyle features, along with the latest cannabis policy, business, and economic news.
