In the spring of 1909, William โBullโ Lowell began growing what was called Indian Hemp on his farm on the central coast of California. Henry J. Finger took a dislike to Bullโs โmarijuana being smoked by the wrong kinds of peopleโ. Finger conspired to outlaw cannabis and later passed the 1913 Poison Act. Bull believed in a manโs right to smoke the dried plant and enjoy its benefits. When the stubborn Bull refused to stop growing his beloved plant, Finger shut down Bullโs farm and later threw him in jail. Today our community of family farms honor the great Bull Lowellโs tradition of growing cannabis naturally and with a deep love and respect for the plant.
