I grew up in Liverpool in a very disciplined environment.
I was introduced to Shotokan karate, and from the age of six I trained intensively, eventually earning my black belt in kickboxing as a teenager.

​

Discipline, focus, and physical resilience were instilled early.

But at age sixteen, my life shifted dramatically. I was diagnosed with a melanoma in my spine and a tumour near my pelvis. Surgery was urgent. The future was uncertain.

​

During treatment, cannabis entered my life, initially as support for pain, nausea, and appetite. It helped. But over time, what began as medicine evolved into habitual use. That duality of healing and dependency, shaped the next decade of my life.

​

I didn’t only consume cannabis, I built within the industry.

I founded and operated a cannabis club in Spain, worked across Europe and Africa in cultivation and processing and I consulted on end-to-end cannabis production, including pharmaceutical operations

​

This gave me deep insight into cannabis not just as a substance, but as an industry, a culture, and a behavioural pattern.

What became increasingly clear was this:

Cannabis amplifies the state you bring to it.

Used unconsciously, it reinforces avoidance.
Used consciously, it becomes a mirror.
