I didn't use marijuana until I started working as a farm consultant
I’ve always enjoyed being outdoors in nature.
When I was a child, I spent all of my time outside.
My parents lived in the country and I had a nice backyard. My dad built a treehouse in the oak tree in the yard. I spent most of my time sitting in the tree house drawing pictures of the landscape. I loved looking at the trees, flowers, and the birds. I decided to go to college for botany. I was always interested in the way that things grow and I thought I might own a flower shop one day. When I was in my third year of college, I had to volunteer for 120 hours. I had a very interesting opportunity to work for a cannabis cultivation company. I had a couple of different choices, but the cannabis company seemed like an interesting opportunity. The cannabis cultivation company needed a couple of students to help during the fall harvest. I was in charge of helping cut and trim the marijuana buds. We must have cleaned and trimmed about 300 pounds of cannabis that week. I never had much interest in marijuana before I was stuck volunteering in that position. I tried marijuana for the first time one day during break. After that I was hooked. I wanted to know everything about marijuana and I became more and more interested in cultivating and growing the plant. When I picked up that volunteer job, I never knew it was going to lead me down the path to my future. I absolutely want to open my own cannabis cultivation farm and dispensary one.
