Mitch Britten, CEO of Thrive Cannabis Marketplace, expressed his excitement. “Coming from a family of ‘Deadheads’ – I’m honored to open our doors to Garcia Hand Picked to create a one-of-a-kind opportunity for fans like us to enjoy a consumption space as unique as Vegas… filled with all of the sights, sounds, and everything else you’d expect before a memorable show at the Sphere! Our team, along with Garcia Hand Picked have created a really cool offering and an amazing assortment of products that everyone is sure to love.”
“We created Garcia Hand Picked because cannabis has always been a part of our family. Our father would light up a joint with his friends and have a good laugh. Sharing a joint has always been a meaningful exchange in our home and at shows,” said Trixie Garcia, daughter of the late Jerry Garcia. We are very excited to have a presence in Las Vegas this summer, and Garcia Hand Picked is pleased to supply the people with some superior cannabis during their stay. May it help you take your experience to the next level! Relax, unwind, and open up; this chapter of stoned American history includes the tale of Jerry Garcia, and may his legacy live on! We invite you to join the family and take a trip with us, one joint at a time! With love, Trixie Garcia.”
The collaboration will kick off on May 16th and run through July 13th, aligning with the concert dates at the Sphere, which promises an immersive audiovisual experience unlike any other in Las Vegas.
