Oregon Hempfest with Nathan Marsh

Oregon Hempfest with Nathan Marsh

Author: Cannabis Radio May 30, 2025 Duration: 26:08

Nathan Marsh started his journey into Cannabis Activism in 1993 after his father lost his life in a drunk-driving accident. He was passionate that access to cannabis is a civil right and that society should be able to benefit from its positive impacts on both the mind and body. Living in Denver, Colorado, at the time, he committed to doing anything he could to spread the word about the benefits of cannabis and promote legalization and decriminalization. Nathan later moved to Oregon and Washington and was involved in several nonprofits dedicated to cannabis activism. In 2015, when Oregon legalized cannabis, he produced the Oregon HEMPFEST, one of the first to be licensed by the Seattle HEMPFEST, a 501(c)(3) federal nonprofit organization, and became the only licensed HEMPFEST in Oregon. That same year, he started the Oregon Growers Cup, a Cannabis Cup that has grown to be Oregon’s largest and oldest cannabis competition. Today, he also produces Cannabis Cups in Arizona, Missouri, New York, California, and New Mexico.

Each week on Hempresent, Vivian McPeak-widely known as the Hemposapien and the founder of Seattle Hempfest-creates a space where conversation about cannabis is rooted in substance and history, not just headlines. This isn't a series of monologues; it's a dynamic exchange, a platform where guests and the community itself can engage deeply with the plant's complex journey. You'll hear discussions that trace the legal, activist, and reformist pathways shaping cannabis and hemp today, moving beyond simple celebration to examine the real work being done. Produced by Cannabis Radio, the podcast delves into how these issues intersect with broader societal and cultural currents, from law and policy to art and agriculture. The tone is informed and passionate, reflecting decades of advocacy. Tune in for a weekly dose of perspective that challenges stereotypes and explores the multifaceted role of cannabis in our world, all guided by a voice that has been part of the movement's foundation. It's about presenting the full story, with all its challenges and possibilities.
