Some legends in rap only exist within the underbelly of the culture, as is the case with Hip-Hop’s urban legend himself Branson. The “cannabis connoisseur” to the stars was on the right side of infamy during his peak in the ’90s, name-dropped in the lyrics of many top MCs like Rakim and The Notorious B.I.G. — two legends being honored at this year’s festival, by the way! — and officially becoming one of the realest to ever make a “spark” in the game.

He’ll be on board to discuss how he made cannabis a luxury business, completely elevating the experience of getting “elevated.” The discussion will span from recreational use to actually turning a profit the legal way, and we couldn’t think of anyone better to help us steer the conversation in a direction that we’re sure you all will enjoy. He’ll be joined by global cannabis advocate for The WeedHead™ Dasheeda Dawson, political advocate for medical marijuana Landon Dais, Co-Founder of CannaGatherNJ Leo Bridgewater and fellow underground legend in his own right “Freeway” Rick Ross.
