Jacques Cousteau’s Grandson Is In the (Sea) Weed Business

​In California, consumers can purchase cannabis based products from the family of world famous ocean explorer and filmmaker, Jacques Cousteau.  The call their brand SeaWeed Naturals.   The company is led by Jacques Cousteau’s grandson, Phillipe Cousteau, and his wife Ashlan Cousteau.   

The Cousteaus say their product line uses the wonders of restoratively farmed seaweeds, algae and kelp, combined with full spectrum CBD and THC oils. The product line includes topicals, balms, tinctures and gummies.  

In an interesting twist, Phillipe’s grandfather Jacques Cousteau disapproved of marijuana use and even wrote about it publicly.  But Phillipe points out that this was at a time when education on marijuana was limited and societal views were very different. Phillipe said that his grandfather “was somebody who definitely changed and grew his perspectives as time moved on.”  

​The new generation of Cousteaus are keeping in line  with family traditions by donating 5% of company profits to ocean conservation and education. That’s something Jacques Cousteau would certainly be proud of.
