Cypress Hill’s B Real has revealed details of a medical marijuana dispensary he is opening up in California. The rapper won the right to open a dispensary in Orange County after being selected by lottery, along with five others, from a list of 630 applicants.
Talking to Billboard, B Real claimed that his musical background put him in a “unique position” to make the dispensary a success. He said: “I definitely want it to be eye candy, eye-popping, eye-catching, an experience. We want it to be a place where you can come get quality meds responsibly and all that stuff, but we want it to be an experience as well.”
He added that he was open to the idea of live performances there, saying: “I think mini concerts in there would be good, have some artists that are legalization-friendly, like for instance Snoop Dogg [and] 2 Chainz.”
B Real has certainly been putting the work in. Recently, he took third prize for “best sativa flower” in the Cannabis Cup in San Bernardino, California.
The rapper also had some musical updates. He has teamed up with Snoop Dogg, A$AP Ferg and more to put out a free mixtape under his Dr Greenthumb guise: The Prescription. He also talked about the forthcoming Cypress Hill album, their first since 2010’s Rise Up. He said: “It’s almost done, it’ll probably be out late summer or towards August,” adding that he expects the group to tour it after release.
