Snoop Dogg and Hempacco have formed HPDG, LLC, a California limited liability company that will develop, manufacture and market consumer packaged goods, including edibles, smokable hemp products, hemp paper, blunts and vapes.

"I've been looking for the best team out there to produce hemp products with me, and this team has it all — the science, innovation, and the reach,” Snoop Dogg said. “I am excited to offer my Snoop Dogg products to my fans across the country through this partnership, and this is just the beginning.”

Hempacco produces and supplies rolling papers for some of the largest brands in the world. It also has R&D capabilities and innovative services, including vending machine kiosks. Hempacco operates out of a 50,000 sq. ft. facility that is NSF, GMP, and certified organic.

"We are so honored and excited to partner with Snoop Dogg and to bring his vision of cannabis through our new joint venture with hemp products to all 50 states across the United States," said Sandro Piancone, CEO of Hempacco. "We will bring and use our technology for hemp smokables, hemp paper, and our technology for low-odor smell and flavoring of terpenes both on the flower and the filters and work with him to design exciting new products for the marketplace."
