Steve DeAngelo: The Father of the Cannabis Industry
With his hippie pigtails and smart suits, Steve DeAngelo perfectly embodies the split in today’s cannabis industry. He’s an old-school activist and advocate, but he’s also a canny businessman. DeAngelo co-founded Harborside, one of the first six dispensaries licensed in the US; Steep Hill Laboratory, the first dedicated cannabis lab, and the Arc View Group, the first cannabis investment firm. He's the author of The Cannibis Manifesto and star of the TV show Weed Wars.
