Damian Marley honors his Dad Bob Marley

---

Two years ago, Damian Marley—youngest son of reggae legend and cannabis cult hero Bob Marley—went into business with the legal weed company Ocean Grown Extracts to convert a 77,000 square foot former California prison into a cannabis grow-op that would cultivate medical marijuana for state dispensaries. Claremont Custody Centre used to house those incarcerated for growing and selling weed. Now it incubates and grows the drug to help Californians suffering with illness, pain and disease. This role-reversal represents a significant societal shift in a country where the much-publicized war on drugs and its role in controlling minority groups tore families and communities apart. Marley is proud of the role he has played, proving there’s much more to the man than music.

The youngest Marley is renowned for his story-telling ability, evidenced by his new video for “Living It Up” from his Grammy Award-winning 2017 album Stony Hill, in which he takes his young son to visit the area in Kingston, Jamaica—where he grew up. With the success of his music and blossoming medicinal marijuana business, the reggae icon has another pivotal year ahead of him.
