“My brand of cannabis is like me: big and loud and premium grade!” says Big Freedia. “It’s ripe, pungent, and extra.” Sativa hybrid XJ-13 simulates creativity and conversation while indica/sativa hybrid Peanut Butter Breath invites a state of calm and relaxation. Both have distinctive aromas and bold flavors, with differing effects to please all booty bouncers, regardless of their prefered strain. The Cannabis game is a natural for Big Freedia, who has been smoking on and off for a better part of twenty years. “There’s no question that certain strains energize me and get my creativity flowing,” she says, noting that she almost always puffs before a long recording session. “Others relax me or help with pain relief.” 

The Queen of Bounce adds that she has long been a proponent of cannabis for medicinal purposes. “The research is out: cannabis can treat certain illnesses, aches, and chronic pain. I saw firsthand how it relieved my mother during her chemotherapy treatments in 2013. I’m very pleased that cannabis products are becoming so much more accessible,”  says Big Freedia. “I’m excited to be part of legitimizing the industry.”
