YG Marley Launches Young Gong Cannabis Brand

YG Marley is getting into the cannabis business.

The artist is launching Young Gong, a new cannabis brand created in partnership with Glenmere Farms Enterprises, a New York-based company led by biomedical scientist Dr. Sha-Ron Pierre-Cauler. The official launch is scheduled for April 19th with a Countdown to 4/20 event at Partake NYC in Long Island City, during Day 2 of the weekend-long New York City Conafest.

According to the materials shared exclusively byHigh timesMarley is part of the venture as a co-founder and brand ambassador, giving the project a more direct connection to the artist than the usual celebrity licensing game. The brand is positioned around cannabis, music and meditation, and the name “Young Gong” draws on both Marley’s personality and the idea of ​​sound as a healing force.

“I’ve wanted to work with Dr. Sha-Ron for a long time,” Marley said. “I saw that she was a creative genius. She understood that this plant was more than just a feeling – it was a frequency.”

Pierre-Cauler said Marley made sense as a partner not only because of his public profile, but because of his long-standing relationship with cannabis culture and his instinct to match strains with mood, setting and experience. In her view, New York also offers the right backdrop for such a rollout, giving the brand the opportunity to create a spotlight on cannabis in a still-nascent market.

“Oil Day”, or 7/10, has failed as a sales holiday this year

Key points:

  • “Oil Day,” or 7/10, flopped as a sales holiday this year, increasing sales by just 4% over a normal Friday.
  • Cannabis concentrates remain a small part of retail sales, but are highly valued by buyers.
  • Price compression has expanded the customer base. Live resin, which once sold for $40 per gram, is now only $10 before tax.

Once a niche product, cannabis concentrates have become one of the most reliable drivers of retail growth.

Extracts are the basis of vapes, edibles, infused pre-rolls and premium hash sales year-round, even if 7/10 is the industry rest of the concentrate is assigned and dabber’s response on 4/20 – doesn’t move the needle.

“These extracts feed the entire food industry — they come from hash,” said David Downs, organizer of Hash Week, a week-long celebration in California beginning on 7/10, sometimes called “Oil Day.”

“We’re talking about concentrates – edibles, vapes and the hash market in bulk grams. They’re all extracts.”

As cannabis oil becomes a year-round growth engine, consumers are no longer waiting for the 7/10 holiday to purchase it.

Still in 2022 concentrate sales jumped 67.4% on 7/10according to Headset, rosin sales were up 213% over the previous four Saturdays—a veritable holiday surge by any standards.
