Considering that film projects like Kevin Smith's 'Tusk' have previously developed cannabis strains ('Mr. Tusk and White Walrus') to promote their movies and moreover the Proposition 64 of 2016 made the use of cannabis for non-medical adult use legal in California, the trend is to follow.
The cannabis strains was presented at the Alternative Herbal Health Services event in Los Angeles, reports Indiewire. Legal marijuana card-holding customers could avail the products for a price range starting from USD 50 (for 3.5 grams).
