Marshawn Lynch Partners with Originals to Take Dodi National

Beast Mode showed up in South LA — and this time, he brought flower. NFL icon and cultural legend Marshawn "Beastmode" Lynch just leveled up his signature cannabis brand Dodi through a new partnership with Los Angeles powerhouse Originals, officially taking the brand from Bay Area roots to the national stage.

From Oakland to Everywhere

Dodi was born in Northern California, where it quickly earned a following for premium genetics and an unapologetically authentic approach to cannabis culture. Much like Lynch himself, the brand has always been about family, community, and staying true to its origins.

Now, with Originals licensing the brand and handling cultivation, manufacturing, and distribution, Dodi begins its next chapter. For Lynch, the partnership is about more than business — it’s about trust.

“Family is a big part of why I’m involved in this industry, and Originals… is… family,” Lynch said. “They’re respected for being the best at what they do, and that means a lot to me. We’re excited that Dodi has a partner we can be proud of.”

The First Drop: Strains with Swagger

The debut collaboration hit shelves with three exclusive strains, each crafted to reflect Dodi’s premium ethos:

  • Beast Berry – A Gelato-based hybrid with bold, fruity notes and a powerful high worthy of Lynch’s nickname.
  • Milk & Cookies – An indulgent Oreo cut crossed with Runtz, balancing sweet flavor with euphoric effects.
  • Charlie OG – A classic from Originals’ legendary genetics vault, heavy-hitting and timeless.

A Celebration in South LA

On Saturday, September 27th, Dodi and Originals celebrated the launch at Originals’ flagship facility in South Los Angeles. Fans lined up for a rare chance to meet Marshawn Lynch during a special Meet & Greet, tour the state-of-the-art cultivation space, and get a taste of the new strains straight from the source.

Guests left with complimentary gift bags stocked with the full Dodi flower lineup — a tangible piece of the brand’s expansion from Oakland authenticity to a wider national spotlight.

Authenticity, Quality, Culture

With this partnership, Dodi signals a new era — one that’s as bold and unapologetic as its founder. Backed by Originals, the brand is ready to bring its signature flower to Los Angeles and beyond, cementing its place in the national conversation.

As Marshawn would say: run through somebody’s face — but make sure you’ve got the fire to match.
