Grateful Dead’s Mickey Hart Partners with Left Coast Ventures™ to Introduce Mind Your Head™ Cannabis Brand
SAN FRANCISCO–May 21, 2019 /AxisWire/ Today, three-time GRAMMY® winner and Grateful Dead drummer Mickey Hart announces the launch of Mind Your Head™, an innovative cannabis brand produced in California in partnership with Left Coast Ventures™. Mind Your Head is inspired by the groundbreaking culture of creativity and community that Hart helped create and continues to foster through his art and his band, Dead & Company, which launches their summer tour on May 31 st at Shoreline.
The Mind Your Head brand’s first product offering is Magic Minis, pre-rolled whole-flower joints packaged in a tin adorned with Hart’s celebrated artwork. These collectible tins are available in select Bay Area dispensaries:
- Urban Pharm (San Francisco)
- Sparc (San Francisco)
- Berkeley Patients Group (Berkeley)
- Hi-Fidelity (Berkeley)
- Airfield Supply Co. (San Jose)
- Mercy Wellness (Cotati)
With the Mind Your Head cannabis brand, Hart is seeking to share an essential part of the inspiration behind his work as a musician and artist that created a cultural phenomenon with The Grateful Dead.
“Cannabis is about opening the mind by inspiring intellectual curiosity and breaking free from ordinary thinking,” Hart said. “Throughout my life, cannabis has played an important role in inspiring creativity and I hope that Mind Your Head cannabis activates others to find their own dimension of creativity. It’s about transporting your mind, connecting with the rhythm of your body and getting into the zone.”
Mind Your Head Magic Minis feature Chemdog, a legendary strain discovered outside a Grateful Dead show on Shakedown Street in 1991 by a loyal fan now known as ‘Chemdog.’ The namesake strain of cannabis is renowned for boosting artistry and mindfulness. True to Hart’s vision, the Chemdog strains produced for Magic Minis were mindfully grown, pursuing kindness and care in cultivation practices.
“As a loyal Deadhead, I’m proud to see Chemdog featured in the first product from Mickey Hart,” said Chemdog. “It plays an important role in Grateful Dead history and I think it’s exciting that Mickey is bringing it full circle to fans and cannabis enthusiasts in Mind Your Head.”
