Big Freedia has ventured into the world of cannabis. The Queen of Bounce is supplying us with a royal line of smoke. She revealed on her Instagram that her cannabis and culture brand named Royal Bud is available on Aug. 22. It will be exclusively sold at Green Kween in Los Angeles. The three strains she released are the “You Already Know” indica, “Release Ya Wiggle” hybrid and “Mardi Grass” sativa. Big Freedia will also be at Green Qween on Aug. 26 for a meet and greet.
My ROYAL BUD 🌲🌲🌲 line is FINALLY here!! The queen only smokes the finest and I’m excited to share these products with y’all.
I’ve got the first 3 fire strains dropping on 8/22 exclusively at @shopgreenqween in LA and I’ll be IN STORE on 8/26. 💚 👑
Will be available at more stores soon, but for now, get to Green Qween on Monday to check out my @royalbudco line, and follow @royalbudco for all the info!
Green Qween is a queer-owned cannabis dispensary that focuses on using their “space for marginalized brands to enter an industry that’s almost impossible to break into.”
“We’re seeking to give space to LGBTQIA+, women, and BIPOC-owned brands to help diversify the industry,” read their website. “We had to fight tooth-and-nail to get where we are today. We hope that we are paving what was a rocky, hard path with a smoother road for others to follow and also laying the bricks of the first gayborhood in cannabis.”
Before partnering with Green Qween, she also teamed up with Ben & Jerry’s and No Kid Hungry. She and Ben & Jerry’s released limited edition of Big Freedia’s Bouncing Beignets. With No Kid Hungry, she raised awareness about their summer meal program.
Big Freedia also re-entered reality television and starred on BET+’s College Hill: Celebrity Edition.
