FOUNDING DIRECTOR AND PRESIDENT
Cannabis and civilization grew up together. From being one of the first domesticated crops grown in the Fertile Crescent nearly 10,000 years ago, to positive references in the Judeo-Christian Bible, to Thomas Jefferson’s own massive Virginia cannabis plantation, cannabis has been a useful and beneficial plant that has served mankind steadily and faithfully throughout recorded history. It is my absolute honor and privilege to be a part of humanity’s reawakening to cannabis and its myriad potential. As an attorney, I am dedicated to helping our citizens discover the fourth cannabis subspecies, cannabis legalis.
