Humboldt Seed Company and Marley Family Launch New Cannabis Strains

In a groundbreaking collaboration, Humboldt Seed Company (HSC), the largest licensed cannabis seed supplier in California, announced the introduction of two new cannabis strains, Redemption and One Love, inspired by the legendary musician Bob Marley. This initiative aims to pay homage to Marley's enduring legacy of unity, resilience, and cultural impact. The announcement came on June 9, 2026, from San Francisco, where the company highlighted the significance of these new varieties in connection to Marley’s mission of bringing people together.

A Tribute to Bob Marley

The new strains are not just products; they encapsulate the spirit of Bob Marley's philosophy that cannabis serves as a bridge connecting individuals. Co-founder and Chief Scientist of HSC, Benjamin Lind, described the Redemption and One Love seeds as encapsulating the essence of traditional Jamaican varieties that Marley himself would have enjoyed. Each seed embodies the culture and sentiment of Jamaica, reinterpreted for modern usage while staying true to its roots.

Developed in collaboration with the Rastafarian community and Dr. Machel Emanuel, a botanist from the University of the West Indies, these strains are seen as a premium addition to HSC’s inventory. They reflect rigorous genetic research and development aimed at preserving and enhancing the cannabis varieties that were part of Marley’s life and legacy.

The Strains

Redemption

This strain has an indica-dominant profile, carefully crafted from renowned genetics such as Lamb's Bread, SFV OG, and Don Carlos. The Redemption strain promises to deliver calming and euphoric effects accompanied by earthy herbal aromas, layered with notes of pine, citrus, and a fuel-like undertone. This combination is designed to provide both relaxation and a boost of uplifting feelings, ideal for reflective moments or social enjoyment.

One Love

On the other hand, One Love features a sativa-dominant profile, derived from Westmoreland Pineapple, Stoopid Fruits, and Mango Sherbert genetics. It offers a vibrant flavor explosion of ripe pineapple and mango, sweet notes, and uplifting, energizing effects. This strain embodies the spirit of upliftment and joy that Marley espoused, aimed at enhancing social interactions and bringing people together in celebration.

Both strains offer impressive yields, producing over 3% in frozen fresh extracts, a testament to their quality and the meticulous breeding process behind them.

The Voices Behind the Seeds

Cedella Marley, daughter of Bob Marley and CEO of the Bob Marley Group of Companies, expressed her enthusiasm for this project, emphasizing the importance of honoring her father’s legacy through these cannabis varieties. She remarked, “This has been a long time coming. The HSC team has been perfecting these strains since their first breeding project in Jamaica in 2017. Their dedication to sustainable breeding practices and collaboration with farmers from Nine Mile has led to the creation of Redemption and One Love, paying tribute to my father’s legacy and his connection to the community and cannabis as a sacrament.”
