Ross Rebagliati promotes pot glassware as he awaits medicinal marijuana business
Olympic gold medallist Ross Rebagliati was in Vancouver on Saturday to promote his new line of marijuana glassware at the CottonMount Smoke Shop at 1120 Davie Street.
The glassware is the latest addition to Rebagliati’s medicinal pot business, which is currently working its way through government licensing.
Among the bongs and pipes sold under the Ross’ Gold brand is this one-of-a-kind 24-carat gold water pipe, which sells for $24,420. Rebagliati promises that if the pipe is sold to a Canadian buyer, he will personally hand deliver the product.
Ross’ Gold is being marketed as “premium branded cannabis,” with various strands such as Ross’ Platinum, Ross’ Gold, Ross’ Silver, and Ross’ Bronze.
Rebagliati made headlines around the world in 1998 when he became the first to ever win an Olympic gold medal for men’s snowboarding at that year’s Winter Olympic Games in Nagano.
Following his win, Rebagliati was disqualified after he tested positive for marijuana. The decision was later overturned and his gold medal was returned to him.
