Mother Murdered, Father Cannabis Drug Lord:
Born into a family deeply entrenched in the Rastafarian cannabis cartel, my upbringing was anything but ordinary. I witnessed the spectrum of experiences within the illicit cannabis trade, from its benefits to its dangers.
As a child, cannabis roots treated my asthma, thanks to my father brewing tea with the male roots of the plant. Our family gatherings were marked by the pervasive aroma of weed, and we even hosted quarterly cannabis cultivation competitions.
However, the illegal nature of our activities caught up with my father, resulting in a 20-year prison sentence in French jurisdiction. Determined not to follow in my parents’ footsteps, I pursued education, ultimately becoming a high school agriculture science teacher.
Driven by passion and ambition, I financed my education through various means, including mortgaging my grandmother’s property and taking on significant student loans. Graduating from Canada’s premier agricultural institution, I swiftly rose through the ranks in the burgeoning cannabis industry, paying off my debts in quick time.
Since then, I’ve founded two successful cannabis organizations to continue in aiding the developing cannabis landscape.
- GPS: GanjaPapa Solutions; Our mission is clear – to enrich every cannabis cultivation clientele business by fostering sustainability, increasing efficiency, and elevating returns.
- UPMA: Universal Plant Medicine Association; To support and empower individuals committed to the study, research, and application of plant-based medicines. Through scholarships, we aim to facilitate access to education, training, and resources, enabling aspiring scholars to explore, preserve, and advance the field of plant medicine.
