Sam Taylor started in cannabis in 2009 and was featured on CNBC’s “Marijuana USA” as a co-owner of Centennial Seeds at the age of 22. Since then, she’s founded the lifestyle subscription service HempBox, the science-based cannabis competition The Grow-Off, and most recently, Expand Lands, a series of events designed to demystify the world of mycology to consumers.
