Brief Bio:

Rob is proud to have voted for California Proposition 215 in 1996 and is now enjoying the fruits (or flowers) of the medical marijuana movement. He would happily give up alcohol in exchange for recreational cannabis and encourages people to read real peer-reviewed science and make informed decisions for themselves. We have only begun to understand the human endocannabinoid system.
