Rick Ross has launched his own weed strain named after his old Miami stomping grounds.
According to TMZ, the MMG mogul partnered with cannabis company High Tolerance for a strain called Collins Ave, which is set to be released on June 1.
“High Tolerance is the best flower for all the ones who like to blow that good gas,” Rozay said. “This is the best flower in the world … this is why I decided to team up with High Tolerance. They have the best flower on the streets. Shout out to Manny, the biggest.”
The brand’s co-founder, Manny, also showed his excitement for collaborating with Rick Ross, telling TMZ he’s “a true cannabis connoisseur.”
The Florida rapper joins the likes of Jadakiss, Jim Jones, Ghostface Killah, Juelz Santana, A Boogie Wit Da Hoodie, Beanie Sigel, Dave East, Millyz, Lil Meech and the late Draco the Ruler as ambassadors for High Tolerance.
This isn’t the first time Rick Ross has used his old Miami neighborhood’s name for a weed line. In 2020, he teamed up with Berner’s cannabis brand Cookies to launch Collins Ave, featuring three specially curated strains: Collins Ave, Pink Rozay and Lemon Pepper.
“I want to be a force within the cannabis industry and bring a superior quality product to the masses, particularly my people in the South,” he said at the time. “I’m honored to be in partnership with Berner and Cookies, who, in my opinion, are the best in the business. I love the product and truly stand behind it. Watch what we do!”
Rick Ross also launched a hemp company in 2021 that aimed to help smokers reap the health benefits of the plant.
He teamed up with Rap Snacks CEO James Lindsay and San Diego-based hemp manufacturing company Hempacco to form Hemp Hop, rolling out a line of smokables including CBD cigarettes and a hemp blunt rolling paper.
“I truly believe in the health benefits of Hemp derived products,” Ross said in a statement. “Having had my own health scares, and through my healing process, I decided I would develop a line of smokables to help others with the benefits of hemp cannabinoids.”
Rick Ross has had a number of health scares over the years, suffering multiple seizures in 2011 and again in 2018, which he attributed to a codeine habit.
FYI writer, Collins Ave is not Ross’ neighborhood, nor is it even a neighborhood at all. its a street, and its in Miami Beach. Ross is not from there, and he aint from Miami Beach, he’s from Miami Gardens. it doesn’t behoove you to assume things when writing an article. takes 17 seconds to google something if you dont already know what you’re writing about and is better than making assumptions
So sick of rappers saying they’re teaming up with the best pot growers ever lmao. All of their shit is overpriced commercial pot. Homegrown is so much better.
That’s fuck up in my opinion all this rapper’s trying jump on shit like they on some other level and shit when we niggas from the street put this shit on the map in Florida dade county was the real place for homegrown that shit they got nowadays is like driving a Bugatti with a pinto engine stop helping them rich ass company with your fame and help out the people who put you in a position to be successfully help our people in the struggle I can grow you the best shit here in the real 305 fuck them fake ass growers
