today we meet Beer, a legacy grower in Thailand who is a leader and hero for cannabis farmers. When he became tired of the underground hustle and decided to become a Monk, it wasn't long before the Minister of Health recruited him to help the government usher in the cannabis industry. He is given the authority to license farmers and train them in cultivating cannabis.
Beers operates his own grow facility and dispensary in Bangkok and is on a mission to keep foreigners and illegal imports at bay until Thai farmers can get a head start on the industry.
