Oteil Burbridge's (Dead & Comp's bassist) “ultimate musical strain.”

Quote:
Bassist Oteil Burbridge was a recent participant in JamBase’s ongoing The Art Of The Sit-In interview column in which he discussed many of his collaborations over his enduring career including Aquarium Rescue Unit, The Allman Brothers Band and his current gig with Dead & Company. Another of Burbridge’s recent collaborations has been formally announced with the introduction of a new specially designed marijuana strain named Oteil’s Egyptian Kush.
Burbridge teamed with Denver-based GroundSwell Cannabis Boutique and geneticist T-Dogg Gardens to create the hybrid “ultimate musical strain.” Here’s how GroundSwell describes the new addition to their premium line of cannabis:
Boasting a sweet cherry flavor, this indica-leaning hybrid kicks off with a stimulating rush of energy and evolves into a body effect that sets you blissfully adrift. Oteil’s Egyptian Kush is ideal for losing yourself in a favorite song and grooving to the bassline alongside thousands of your closest friends.

Thoughts?
I would be interested in trying it but the "ultimate musical strain" part seems like a huge marketing gimmick.

The strain itself sounds pretty dank but this seems like a serious marketing gimmick to get deadheads to buy their weed

Idk about that, it really comes down to how you use it. When I smoke daily I am not as motivated to practice generally but it makes it more fun.
But after even a short break toking just a little makes playing music so much more amazing and also makes me want to play more

Smoking weed and playing music isn't like taking a course at college?

Seriously though many of the greatest musicans did not study music and smoked cannabis. To each his own though 
I personally will probably always want to play music stoned but I wouldn't mind taking some music classes either possibly...
