This interim solution to the Health Canada-rejected Trailer Park Buds packaging is actually quite on-brand

Summary

But Breault points out, the now-compliant fix is actually pretty on-brand for the Trailer Park Boys. “It’s exactly what [the Trailer Park Boys] would have done in this situation,” he says. The company behind the embattled Trailer Park Buds brand, which was rejected by Health Canada for being non-compliant with the Cannabis Act, decided against repackaging the discount nugs originally planned to be promoted by east coast celebs the Trailer Park Boys. Snoop Dogg’s Leafs By Snoop is labelled LBS (which Breault thinks sounds more like a bowel disorder than a cannabis brand). Back in June, Health Canada made it clear that Trailer Park Buds, a line of cannabis from Organigram’s Edison promoted by the Trailer Park Boys, was in violation of federal promotion prohibitions that prohibit celebrity endorsements and would have to be re-branded for sale. Organigram’s reps did not confirm if the redactions were made with permanent marker, but CEO Greg Engel told The GrowthOp that “the brand has been altered from Trailer Park Buds to Buds and the package you may have seen would have Trailer Park redacted and you only now see the word Buds on the package,” in an email.

The company behind the embattled Trailer Park Buds brand, which was rejected by Health Canada for being non-compliant with the Cannabis Act, decided against repackaging the discount nugs originally planned to be promoted by east coast celebs the Trailer Park Boys.
