There is now a strain of mar1juana named for Jeremy Lin

Not every product that carries your name needs to be endorsed.

Neither the NBA nor Knicks guard Jeremy Lin is expected to acknowledge that there is a mar1juana product named Lin Sanity OG.

The proof seems to come from an Instagram photo that was linked on the Twitter site of rapper Stalley. Fellow entertainer Rick Ross tweeted that he had taken Stalley shopping.

Legal team wants Jeremy Lin-named medical mar1juana stopped

The lawyers for Jeremy Lin have a message for those dealing "Linsanity' medical mar1juana: you are one toke over the line.

"Their enthusiasm for Jeremy Lin got ahead of their understanding of the law," Pamela Deese of the Washington, D.C., firm Arent Fox, told Huffington Post.

Several California dispensaries have gotten cease-and-desist letters and are also being asked for letters of apologies.

The news of the mar1juana first surfaced in tweets by entertainment stars Rick Ross and Stalley. The product was going for $60 for an eighth of an ounce.

"You can't file a trademark when there's a clear connection to someone else's name," Deese said. "In this case, Jeremy Lin has the right to his name and related names and marks, as well as his signature, voice and likeness. That's all part of his intellectual property."
