As a cannabis rights activist, Laganja has hosted numerous conversations on cannabis legalization including Trinity College in Dublin, Ireland, and with Impulse Group in San Francisco. She has also been featured twice in High Times Magazine as well as on the cover of Dope Magazine, making her the first LGBTQ+ advocate on the cover of a cannabis magazine. This featured story, “Balancing Gay Rights, Cannabis, and the Pursuit of Happiness,” covered Laganja’s road to fame, and cannabis’ integral role in mitigating pain from the rigors of dance and performance.
In September of 2018, Laganja was interviewed by Civilized Magazine about her music video “Look At Me” featuring J.Tyler which “slammed” the war on drugs. The interview by Civilized — a magazine for the millions of adults who choose to enjoy cannabis recreationally — covered a number of aspects behind the imagery of Laganja’s music video. Leafly, the world’s largest cannabis information site, featured Laganja on their in-house podcast The Hash in January of 2019. In the podcast, Laganja explored topics like homophobia in the cannabis industry and what it’s like to often be the only queer person in a room. In 2020, Laganja was featured as the cover star for Hotpot Magazine.
Laganja is actively developing her lifestyle brand that includes a pot-centric clothing collection and water pipe in collaboration with Empire GlassWorks.
Other cannabis collaborations include:
And for companies like :
Trixie Cosmetics
ExtravaGANJA Collection
Laganja collaborated with skinny legend Trixie Mattel in April 2023 to celebrate 4/20 with an Trixie Cosmetics “ExtravaGANJA Collection,” which featured a green, PVC transformable bag, “Flamin Hot” liquid lip, “Kiwi Lime-A-Licious” green lip gloss, and an EYEconic eye shadow palette. From everyday naturals to trippy brights, this palette had everything you needed to emulate Laganja’s most memorable looks. Featuring shades like “Medicated,” “NUG,” and “Green Crack,” buyers were not puff, puff, passing on this collection and in fact, sold out the bundle and bag in minutes once the collection was launched.
Empire Smokes Water Pipe
The exclusive launch of the first Laganja Estranja Water Pipe dropped March 2023 in collaboration with Empire GlassWorks, an organization who has redefined smoking accessories for the 21st century. This 9mm beaker is adorned with Greek key details and the official Laganja Estranja logo. Eloquent, Nostalgic, Emotional– Empire GlassWorks creations celebrate the grandeur of life, represent the pinnacle of borosilicate craftsmanship, and are unsurpassed for their quality and attention to detail—making them the perfect collaborator for this one of a kind accessory.
Clothing Collection
Laganja was one of the first RuPaul’s Drag Race Alumni to release a full clothing collection in 2014. The gender and size inclusive line comprises t-shirts, sweatpants, and shoes but also features fun accessories like backpacks, clocks, pillows, mugs, tote bags, and duffel bags. When speaking to Out Front Magazine, Laganja said “...we created this iconic print; some are saying it’s Louis Vuitton; some are saying it’s Versace, but you know, it’s actually Laganja Estranja…I am hugely inspired by hot couture, but I definitely wanted to create something that was unique to me. You’ll see hearts; you’ll see cannabis leaves; you’ll see the medical cross symbol, and of course, my iconic logo.”
