Warren Bobrow=WB: Please tell me about yourself? What do you do?

Fabiola Jimenez=FJ: Interestingly, I came from a very different, agricultural background than where I am today as a lawyer in the cannabis industry. I was raised in Eastern Washington in a small rural community in the Yakima Valley with parents that labored in the fields. At various times during my childhood, I even worked in those fields, so I understand a lot about farming and agriculture. That’s what gives me an authentic, deeper appreciation of hemp and marijuana as crops. Pair that with the fastest growing industry in the world, and I’ve found the perfect place to exhibit my passion for business with my expertise in cannabis law.

Warren Bobrow=WB: Why cannabis? What was your (both) of your path to the plant?

Chelsea and Dustin Johnson=DJ and CJ: Our mother shattered her knee cap in the early 2000s and was prescribed increasing amounts of opiates for over 10 years. When the law passed here in Arizona we got her interested in cannabis as an alternative treatment, and she was able to get off all of the narcotics in just under 9 months as a result. It truly saved her life, and inspired us to do our part to help bring responsible cannabis to the mainstream consumer. We opened a retail dispensary & cultivation facility here in Arizona, and HUXTON was launched out of those operations.

Warren Bobrow=WB: What brought you to the cannabis business? Tell me about what you do? How do you see yourself in five years?

Gunner Winston=GW: My background is in finance and I first entered the cannabis space as an investor. I started my career doing investment banking at Morgan Stanley then ultimately ended up co-founding a hedge fund in New York where I spent over a decade building investment funds, growing teams and collaborating with and investing in many of the world’s most successful brands. I chose to retire in 2014 and had just moved to California, and given the pending adult use legalization cannabis became an obvious category for me to watch. Through this analysis dosist quickly caught my attention given its incredible mission to transcend the cannabis industry and empower people to naturally manage their health and happiness. With that, in 2017 I came in first as an investor and shortly after became CEO.
