March Madness is one of the most popular sporting events in the country, with millions of fans tuning in to see which elite college basketball team will take the final W. Many businesses tap into the hype, and weed is no different. The world’s largest dispensary is offering several slam dunk March Madness drops.

Las Vegas destination dispensary Planet 13 released its Kobe variety through the exclusive Fresh Drop Collection. The LA Confidential x Purple Punch cross was bred by Symbiotic Genetics and cultivated by in-house flower brand Medizin. Just like its legendary namesake, Kobe promises a high that’ll make you feel like the GOAT himself.

“For March Madness, we have launched our KOBE strain to celebrate one of the greatest of all time, and it’s a perfect fit with its genetics being a blend of LA Confidential and Purple Punch; purple being a Lakers color, of course,” said Christopher Wren, vice president of operations at Planet 13.

The Kobe strain is sure to set the perfect vibe for the duration of the tourney, but there’s a bonus: buy any Kobe product between March 27 and the championship game and get 20 percent off Planet 13 merch. Additionally, all devices are 10 percent off, with no additional purchase required.

If you want to stock up for your March Madness viewing party, Planet 13 has a couple of other can’t-miss deals: The Khalifa March Frenzy Pack features one Khalifa Kush 3.5g pre-pack, one KK live resin vape, and two pre-rolls for a cool $100. You can also score one ounce of Lavvy flower for just $90 (delivery only) if you’re planning to puff tough with the whole team.

The dispensary will have games on-screen in its Dazed consumption lounge, so you can grab some Kobe and enjoy every thrilling moment of the tournament with a joint or dab in hand. With Las Vegas somewhat limited in its options for legal weed-smoking spaces, Planet 13 is the perfect spot for stoners to take in the March Madness action. Game on!
