Dwight “The General” Manfredi visits Lawrence “Bodhi” Geigerman’s new marijuana store, Even Higher Plane, in the second season premiere of Paramount+’s crime drama series ‘Tulsa King.’ He is greeted by Grace, who asks him whether he wants a weed cigar of the brand Paraganja. Dwight politely declines the offer and goes to meet his business partner. The high-end marijuana product is an indication of the growth Bodhi has been cherishing under the wing of the former Mafia capo. The weed dealer wouldn’t have been able to sell the same product if he had been stuck at The Higher Plane without Dwight’s guidance. Unfortunately, the significance of Paraganja ends here!
Paraganja is Not Available in Real Life
Paraganja is a fictional weed cigar brand seemingly created by the art and prop department of ‘Tulsa King.’ There is no high-end weed cigar or “cannagar” brand with the same name. The brand’s name can be traced back to the Sanskrit word “gañjā,” which translates to cannabis. All over India and South Asia, for that matter, marijuana is known as “ganja.” The word reached the Caribbean nations, especially Jamaica, through the laborers who migrated to these countries from India in the 19th century. The production department of the crime drama must have relied on a fictional brand not to promote a real marijuana product on screen.
While Paraganja cannot be bought in reality, there are several renowned cannagar brands marijuana enthusiasts can try. “Made in Xiaolin” is one of the supreme products available on the market. This hand-crafted weed cigar is wrapped in gold to enhance its value and appeal. Fans of the crime drama from Oregon can check out The Hamilton Cannagar, sold exclusively in the Beaver State. Since it does not have a wooden stick in the middle, the experience of cherishing the brand’s product is said to be exceptional. El Blunto and Luxe Cannagar also have a key presence in the marijuana market.
Ultimately, Paraganja’s significance lies in Bodhi’s growth. In the show’s first season, his marijuana dealer, Jimmy, asks him whether they can trust Dwight. The former answers that the former Mafia capo is a “force multiplier” when it comes to money, fortune, and lifestyle. His words turn out to be true as Bodhi grows from a weed-gummy seller to a luxury marijuana dealer. Paraganja’s opulent appearance in his establishment makes it clear that he has achieved success by teaming up with Dwight, which is something he does not anticipate when the New Yorker first arrives in his store and demands his money without any prior relationship between them.
