It's rare that I read an article that has the names of so many people I've worked with over the years. Samantha Miller is one of the pioneering cannabis scientists in Northern California and for a long time was the only resource in the area. I still test with her lab to this day.

Lawrence Ringo introduced me to a lot of my supply chain before his passing. The network of farmers he worked with were largely not able to make the transition to the recreational cannabis industry.

Mel Frank cultivated cannabis in the next room over from my first manufacturing lab. Super nice guy with a real love of the plant.

Reading articles like this make me miss the old days of cannabis when there was more passion for the plant.
