From Battlefield to Cannabis Fields: Steven Phillpott Jr on Shaping the Future of Wellness and Sport

Описание: At nexus of cannabis, health, and wellness, Steven C. Phillpott Jr. emerges as a pioneering force, blending roles as a researcher, science educator, and entrepreneur with a singular mission: to redefine norms and perceptions across these vital industries. With a multifaceted background spanning environmental biology, sports science, cannabis cultivation research, and military service, he endeavors to illuminate the paramount significance of the endocannabinoid system and the profound implications of cannabis in this journey of exploration.

Steven's immersion in the realm of cannabis traces back to a moment of personal challenge, when a debilitating injury sustained during his tenure as an active-duty Marine propelled him down a path of opioid-alternatives to pain. This experience sparked a transformative quest for knowledge, igniting his passion for cannabis science.

Guided by his time as a dispensary manager in his hometown of Chicago, Steven became a driving force for change, advocating for a seismic shift in perspective. Leveraging his academic acumen and commitment to education, he spearheaded groundbreaking efforts in legal cannabis cultivation within the city. Through the Community College Cannabis Vocational Pilot Program managed by the Illinois Department of Agriculture, Steven pioneered the first academic cannabis cultivation in the city of Chicago at City Colleges of Chicago. This program aimed at equipping students for careers in the burgeoning cannabis industry. His trajectory as a leading advocate for a scientific and holistic approach to cannabis is bolstered by his consulting company, Anzisha, working with athletes like Ricky Williams and his brand Highsman.

From his position as a writer for Sports Cannabis to serving as a board member for Minority Cannabis Business Association (MCBA), he continues to empower businesses and forge transformative partnerships, championing a broader recognition of cannabis as a potent agricultural commodity. His vision extends towards fostering economic development and fortifying resilience in communities and businesses most impacted by the War on Drugs.
