The Bob Marley Collection

A collaboration rooted in shared values: music, community, and herb

Honoring Bob’s Legacy

Bob Marley’s relationship with cannabis was never casual. It was spiritual, cultural, and inseparable from the Jamaica that shaped him.

In late 2024, the Marley family invited Humboldt Seed Company to the village in the hills of Saint Ann Parish where Bob was born and where he now rests. Three strains were developed. An indica, a sativa, and a hybrid. Each one developed alongside the family, the farmers who live where he grew up, and Dr. Machel Emanuel at the University of the West Indies.

This is what we found.

Nine Mile

A village in the hills of Saint Ann Parish. Where Bob was born and his final resting place. Where his family still tends the land and the herb the way it’s been tended for generations.

On his first trip down from Nine Mile as a child, Bob saw the red river running from the bauxite mine and asked his aunt if the earth was bleeding. That kind of attention to the land runs through everything that happened on this project.

Redemption Indica

Redemption is a heartfelt tribute to Bob Marley’s legacy. This indica-dominant strain blends Don Carlos, SFV OG, and the legendary Lamb’s Bread, developed in collaboration with the Rastafari community and Dr. Machel Emanuel. Earthy, herbal, and grounded, with notes of pine and citrus, Redemption delivers calming, euphoric effects that carry Marley’s spirit forward.

The People

The Marley Family

Custodians of Bob’s legacy. The collaboration began with their invitation to come to Nine Mile, and continues through their guidance at every stage.

Dr. Machel Emanuel

Senior Lecturer at the University of the West Indies and principal investigator of the Life Science Cannabis Research Group. Years of partnership with Humboldt Seed Company across Jamaica, Antigua, and Saint Vincent.

The Farmers of Nine Mile

Generations of Rastafari and traditional cultivators who shared their land, their knowledge, and their plants with this project. The work happens in their fields, on their terms.

One Love Sativa

Bob Marley’s One Love honors his enduring legacy through a vibrant sativa-leaning cultivar bred from Westmorland Pineapple, Stoopid Fruits, and Mango Sherbet. Bright pineapple and ripe mango lead the aroma, layered with fruity candy tones and a soft, earthy finish. Developed in collaboration with the Rastafarian community and Dr. Machel Emanuel of the Life Science Cannabis Research Group, One Love finishes in 9-10 weeks with strong structure, generous yields, and standout trichome production.

The Pheno Hunt

A Pheno Hunt is the search for the right plant. Out of hundreds of genetic expressions, the breeder selects for structure, aroma, resin, resilience, and effect. The plant that’s chosen becomes the foundation of every seed that follows.

This one happened in two places. At the University of the West Indies in Kingston, where the research gets done. And in the fields of Nine Mile, where Bob’s family and the local farmers grow the way they have for generations.

The goal wasn’t to bring new genetics in. It was to develop plants that would thrive in Nine Mile, support the farmers economically, and stay true to the cannabis tradition that has always lived in this place.

Reggae, Rastafari, and Herb

Reggae didn’t separate music from message. Bob sang about ganja, Rastafari, liberation, and love because they were inseparable. The plant was medicine, sacrament, and protest. The music carried that meaning across the world.

In Nine Mile and across Jamaica, that meaning still holds. Cannabis is grown by Rastafari farmers as part of a spiritual practice and a sustainable way of life. The same principles the world now calls sustainable agriculture have been Rastafari principles for decades.

“Yes, it is medicine. Spiritually, mentally, physically. We give thanks for the nature. We give thanks for the trees, the plants, the food, everything.”
