Rock & Roll Great Carlos Santana Launches Cannabis Brand MIRAYO
It’s been a busy week for rocker and philanthropist Carlos Santana. He has launched his own coffee company, which is naturally called the Carlos Santana Coffee Company as well as a new cannabis brand inspired by his Latin heritage called, Mirayo by Santana.
Santana shared the news of his new cannabis brand on social media earlier this week. While no formal website exists for the company, a Facebook page promises "sun grown cannabis cultivated with artisanal craft and traditional patience."
Left Coast Ventures, a California-based company that is backed by Privateer Holdings, already boasts music-centric cannabis partnerships with Grateful Dead drummer Micky Hart and Bob Marley's estate are involved in Mirayo by Santana.
