No better place,

There’s more!

The celebrated family has joined forces with leading global psychedelics company Silo Wellness to launch the first global functional and psychedelic mushroom consumer brand, Marley One: One Harmony, One Flow, One Body & One Mind — each with its own dedicated set of benefits.

Bob Marley’s daughter and Marley Group of Companies CEO Cedella Marley expressed gratitude that her father’s belief in the benefits of cannabis is finally being embraced.

“It’s especially meaningful to be able to celebrate the launch of Marley Natural in Jamaica and the global launch of Marley One. I am reminded of how far we have come with the acceptance of cannabis. My father always advocated for the positive power of the herb even as the world tried to criminalise Rastas and everyone else who was using it. It is a special honour to his legacy to open the first Marley Natural dispensary here in Kingston, Jamaica,” she said.

The evening of music, food and positive vibes attracted members of the Marley family, politicos, industry titans and musicians.

The highlight of the event was an intimate acoustic performance by Stephen Marley on the deck of the Herb House, where Marley Natural is expected to begin hosting a new musical series, ‘Live at Bob’s’.
