Medical marijuana dispensaries in California are capitalizing on the buzz surrounding the trial for Michael Jackson’s former doctor, Conrad Murray. Weed shops in the Golden State have started selling a strain of pot called “Conrad Murray OG.” An owner of one of the dispensaries says they decided to name the strain after Murray because it “puts you to sleep…for a really long time.” Murray is facing an involuntary manslaughter charge for allegedly providing Jackson with the fatal dose of propofol that claimed his life on June 25, 2009. Murray’s trial began last week, and is expected to last between four and six weeks.
