Only The Beginning

History of CEO & Founder
The Triggering Point
CEO & Founder's maternal grandmother was diagnosed with Stage 4 pancreatic cancer. After years of researching and studying the medicinal benefits of the cannabis plant from a previous family member passing from Stage 4 lung and brain cancer, she was compelled to discuss the opportunity to her grandmother.
After days and weeks of her grandmother going through chemotherapy and following her doctor's orders, her heart couldn't withstand any more chemo-treatment. The grandmother held Erica's hand tightly and said that she wants to live and was not ready to pass. Mrs. O'Connor quickly took action and placed her grandmother on the 90-day waiting list in hopes of an expedited review of her grandmother's case.
Came to pass that Erica's grandmother was one month shy of being able to just see a doctor for medical marijuana. The passing of her grandmother on Easter morning was very symbolic within the families that were present.
Mrs. O'Connor buried her grandmother on April 20, 2017. The date of 4/20 was the triggering point that forced Erica to stand up for the silent majority that aren't with us today and publicly speak out for the patients that want to exercise their constitutional right in the state of Florida to access alternative medicine.
