Nathan Marsh started his journey in Cannabis Activism in 1993 after his father died in a drunk-driving accident. He was passionate that access to cannabis was a civil right and that society should be able to benefit from its positive impacts on both mind and body. In 2015, when Oregon legalized cannabis, he produced the Oregon HEMPFEST, one of the first to license with the Seattle HEMPFEST, which became the only licensed HEMPFEST in Oregon. That same year, he started the Oregon Growers Cup, a Cannabis Cup that has grown to be Oregon’s largest and oldest cannabis competition. Today, he also produces Cannabis Cups in Arizona, Missouri, and New York.
