I first met Johnny Casali at the event known as Hall of Flowers in Santa Rosa California. I was immediately taken by his warmth and kindness. He had the strong hands of a farmer who got his results from working the soil with wooden handled tools. I felt very small next to him for the events that he has experienced. Johnny has endured much in his years due to his love of cannabis. I hope that the injustices of the past help push your successes of the present into greater acceptance of our plant. Thank you Johnny.
