Seth Rogen's Houseplant brand boasts colorful cannabis packaging that is reminiscent of VHS boxes with color-coordinated slide-out sleeves. The brand's products include whole sativa, hybrid and indica buds, each of which can easily be identified by a different color that represents its essence—the energizing sativas are branded with bright, uplifting yellow and orange colors and the mellowing indicas are sold in packages with soothing purple tones.
Each aesthetically packaged cannabis product is also identified by a jar of a corresponding color and a different kind of arrow graphic that's filled in with lines to provide a visual representation of its effects.
Houseplant is passionate about supporting various advocacy groups, including the Canadian Cannabis Amnesty, The Drug Policy Alliance, NORML and more.
