John Bayes has been a key player in the cannabis industry in both Oregon and California for the last 20 years. His focus has been teaching others how to cultivate organic boutique style cannabis in combination with high level Buddhist teachings which integrate intention into the cultivation practice. These practices along with sourcing the highest level of organic inputs combine to create the methodology we call “Intentional Horticulture”. John has also consulted at nearly every level in the cannabis industry, whether it be in cultivation, or at the State and National level with many politicians that champion the cannabis industry.Most recently Bayes’ consultation brand, Green Bodhi, has teamed up with world renowned Brigade/WeedMaps to consult both nationally and internationally.
