The percentage of the population that either accepts or rejects a hemp leaf on the can is a cultural issue. Some love it and some associate it with everything bad.

This varies from location to location, especially internationally. Some countries didn't have a couple of generations brainwashed by their government into thinking cannabis was bad for you even in small quantities used in moderation. Other big business interests were more than happy to spend money to keep hemp lumped into the same "evil weed" foolishness.

The leaf on the can is not a bad idea, but needs to be marketed appropriately. Jerry Grisaffi was quick to react to the suggestion by some big chain/big box distributors and that's when they shifted to the mountains on the cans. The fact is, they only stopped producing the leaf cans because it wasn't feasible to produce every variation at that time due to cost constraints, but in certain places it was a hit and they will surely bring it back when it makes sense to do so.

It will be well accepted in China based on marketing tests and polls, so Lily Li wants very much to distribute them there as well as make them available here to those that want them.
