“As a proud outdoor cannabis farmer myself, I’m passionate about protecting the viability of sungrown cannabis farming and consumers' right to choose sustainably grown cannabis. It’s clear that there is immense pressure to force cultivation indoors at the local, state, national and international level despite the environmental costs. I am thrilled to be joining WSIA at this pivotal point contributing my time and expertise to advocating for the preservation of farmers' right to farm cannabis outdoors. I’m looking forward to increasing WSIA membership and amplifying the message that sungrown cannabis is the only truly sustainable way to grow cannabis and should be both protected and encouraged,” Oliver said.
