45 Years of cannabis culture, genetics, and living & surviving in the Emerald Triangle with Doc Ray | Tons Talk | Ep. 5

Doc Ray @doc_ray_genetics is a pioneer of the heritage cannabis cultivator and breeder community. He began cultivating in 1972 in #Mendocino and #Humboldt counties and in 1984 began immersing himself in genotype-specific cannabis breeding. In addition to his craft cultivation and breeding expertise, Doc Ray shares in this episode his 45+ years plus of knowledge from seed to sell and the cannabis advocacy needed in order for the industry to survive.

Background: 

Doc Ray is a U.S. Army Green Beret veteran and served as an Airborne Combat Engineer (Sapper).   During his military service, Doc encountered multiple concussions (he has been blown up twice), a broken leg, a broken shoulder, collarbone separation, and multiple fragment wounds.  He also suffered from being crushed by heavy equipment and left for dead five times!  It is a direct result of all of the physical, mental, and psychological damage that's brought him to find healing through the sacred plant cannabis.

Now 50 years later, Doc Ray holds four (4) federally patented medical cultivars for treating PTSD, chronic pain, insomnia, and stress relief, as well as reintroduction breeder patents on heirloom emerald triangle genetics. The fifth genetically specific chemovar has been isolated and is currently undergoing field trials. A total of five chemovars are in various phases of being patented by the federal government. In addition, seven (7) unique chemovars are being created for future medical patents with medical cultivars.
