From a diverse background in law, entertainment, and politics - Miss Hwang holds an undergraduate degree from University of California, Berkeley and a Juris Doctorate from San Francisco Law School. Miss Hwang’s passion in the Cannabis industry is a dedicated lifelong pursuit as she is also a Cancer survivor. She has dedicated her life to spreading the awareness and medicinal benefits of Cannabis and CBD.
Miss Hwang entered the Cannabis Industry in 2016 as part of a dispensary in San Diego, CA. Her main role was helping patients find the accurate product and the correct dosage for the patient’s specific ailments. She created the “Patient Care Program” where U.S. veterans, parents of sick children, senior citizens, and everyone in between sought her out to help manage their symptoms of chronic pain.
Drawing upon her own experience and frustration with the lack of consistent, safe, dependable cannabis medication, she worked closely with cultivators and manufacturers to supply her patients with the highest quality cannabis products. The dispensary under her Patient Care Program boomed as it reached unprecedented success.
In 2019, Miss Hwang launched www.cbdstore2u.com, a CBD product line on the open market. In 2023, Sand of the Sea also became a OLCC approved Cannabis product line with products in dispensaries available in Oregon.
Ultimately, Miss Hwang’s goal is to help find a remedy for cancer, and she believes passionately that with enough research, funds, and dedication - the answer, the cure, is inside the Cannabis plant.

As a proud 5th generation Oregonian from the Applegate Valley, Landin entered the Cannabis Industry in the late 1990's. He was
the Applegate Soil and Hydroponics in Medford, Oregon. He focused on the soil shop and independent consulting. By trial and error he developed a robust program for building and running commercial cannabis farms.
I get a lot of satisfaction from seeing fields that went unused for a decade getting returned to production. Hemp is the natural progression in commercial agriculture. It offers farmers more options in crop production and rotation. In addition to its immediate value as a cash crop, it is a solid rotational choice for established farmers.
I began working with hemp farmers in 2017 in preparation for the 2018 farm bill. It became quickly apparent that the established methods of cannabis cultivation required heavy modification to deal with the new scale of production for hemp. My ranching background gives me context to meld existing cannabis cultivation experience with commercial agricultural practices.
In 2018 I planned, built, and ran a 40,000 sq ft. hemp flower processing plant. This system processed and stored over 60,000 pounds of CBD hemp flower. We had no loss to mold or environmental issues.
In 2019 I cultivated, harvested, and processed 220 acres of industrial hemp in Klamath Falls. I also oversaw the build out and operation of a 60,000 sq ft. biomass drying facility. We processed approx. one million pounds of CBD hemp biomass to date in this facility. I remain a student of the profession.
