Just in time for Wu-Tang’s Red Rocks show, Method Mad has brought his cannabis line TICAL to Colorado.
TICAL is an acronym for “taking into consideration all lives,” and also the title of Method Man’s 1994 solo album. The brand includes three strains of flower.
Method Man partnered with Colorado-based Vera Cultivation to grow the three strains — Sweet Grease, Free MAC and Orange Cookie Kush.
Locals can buy starting the strains on Friday, which incidentally is the same day Wu-Tang Clan hits Red Rocks Amphitheatre backed by the Colorado Symphony Orchestra, with support from Outkast rapper Big Boi.
TICAL’s mission is to “raise awareness of the historic racial and ethnic disparities and inequities in the criminal justice and business aspects of the cannabis space,” according to a statement.
The strains will be available exclusively at Simply Pure and WolfPac Cannabis dispensaries in Denver, which are both owned by people of color.
Next to the Red Rocks show, Wu-Tang and the Colorado Symphony Orchestra will perform at Mission Ballroom on Saturday before Method Man returns to Red Rocks on Sept. 1 for 420 on the Rocks alongside Redman, Wiz Khalifa, Busta Rhymes and Collie Buds. Method Man, Redman and Busta Rhymes are also slated for a concert at Cervantes Masterpiece Ballroom on Sept. 2.
