How can people in Florida benefit from the company
you represent?
People can benefit in two ways:
1. Patients by knowing that they are receiving the purest and cleanest medical
cannabis that is created by a company that truly cares about their patients and puts
their wellness first.
2. By becoming part of the Curaleaf family and working for a company that has a
vision for the future and is driven by a shared love for the power of cannabis.
How did you get started within the cannabis industry?
I got started in the cannabis industry because of my cousin, who is more like a
brother to me. He had several major back surgeries that left him disabled in his mid-
twenties. He was taking 50+ pills a day from morphine to muscle relaxers, along with
anti-anxiety and depression pills. The combination made him suicidal, obese and left
him with zero quality of life. When medical cannabis became legal in CT where he
resided at the time, he began experimenting. After about 18 months, I saw him lose
200 lbs, get on an airplane for the first time in 20 years to visit me, find his smile and
have the desire to have his best life possible. Although he will always be on disability,
he works out every day, has since moved to Florida and, we took him for his first
Margarita at a restaurant in 25 years.
Are you personally a MJ card holder?
Yes, I have had multiple shoulder surgeries that has left me with permanent nerve
damage and trigeminal neuralgia. I also have an auto-immune disease that creates a
lot of inflammation.
Do you see Florida moving forward with recreational
marijuana/cannabis and how will that affect your business?
Since it did not make it on this year’s ballot is will be at least a couple of years
before it has another opportunity. In Florida we are a medicinal company and will
continue focusing on the medical side, and if and when the laws change we will make
all the necessary adjustments to deliver Cannabis with confidence in all arenas.
