The Tragically Hip says it's partnering with a medicinal marijuana producer to contribute ``creatively to their efforts.''
The iconic Canadian rock band says it's teaming up with the company Newstrike, which it calls ``a perfect fit'' for the band.
In a statement on social media, the group calls the federal government's marijuana legalization plans ``common-sense-policy'' and says it likes Newstrike because ``they've hired pre-eminent scientists and growers, developed large, well-structured sites and have the wherewithal and expertise to take this on.''
It didn't take long for fans to start dreaming up names for a Hip-related marijuana product.
Some suggested ``Tragically Hemp,'' ``Chronically Hip'' or ``Tragically High.''
Others used song titles as inspiration, suggesting ``Budcaygeon,'' ``Weed Kings'' and ``Twist My Joint.''
