FOUNDER OF BLACK-OWNED ORGANIC HEMP-DERIVED CBD BRAND LAUNCHES STARTUP ACADEMY FOR ASPIRING ENTREPRENEURS

Nationwide It’s not often that an emerging industry arises which is why Holmes Organics Founder and CEO Cory Holmes decided to launch his cannabis business. The Farm Bill of 2018 brought with it the legalization of hemp-derived CBD. CBD is a powerful plant extract that has been used for medicinal purposes for thousands of years, not to be confused with the plant used to produce marijuana. It’s a product with all the medicinal benefits of marijuana, and zero risk of getting high - making CBD legal in all 50 states.

"I grew up in poor neighborhoods with gun violence, having stress and anxiety as a part of my daily life," said Holmes. "In college, I suffered from a few football concussions. In 2017, I was randomly shot at while driving - and the PTSD didn't set in until about a year later."

Pharmaceuticals were the most common treatment for my symptoms, but they come with harsh side effects and the high risk of addiction. This made side-effect-free CBD the better alternative. Also, an option that delivers faster and more powerful results.”
