Marley Natural, in collaboration with Docklight Brands, announced the flagship retail store earlier this week. The Marley family and Docklight Brands hold exclusive global rights to Bob Marley cannabinoid products.
“It is incredibly meaningful to have the first Marley Natural dispensary in the world at the Bob Marley Museum,” said Damian Marano, CEO of Docklight. “This unique cannabis experience will bring to life the ethos of Bob Marley,” Marano added.
The store will carry cannabis and CBD products from the Marley Natural line, as well as accessories. And while the site has received conditional approval from Jamaica’s Cannabis Licensing Authority, guests will need a doctor’s note to purchase cannabis products for therapeutic purposes.

The Louisville, Kentucky-based company opted to invest $8.7 million in Docklight Brands’ series A offering.
“Our goal is to build an expansive portfolio of the most innovative brands in the cannabis industry and to distribute these products across our vast partner network,” Larry Wexler, Turning Point Brands’ CEO, said Tuesday.
Under the strategic agreement, TPB was granted rights to distribute Docklight’s Marley CBD topical products in the U.S.
“Adding Marley products to our portfolio alongside our legacy Zig-Zag brand marks yet another milestone as we continue to leverage our brands and expand our distribution infrastructure,” Wexler added.
