Dennis Hunter has been active in cannabis for over two decades, starting as a cultivator in Humboldt county and now as a co-founder and leader of CannaCraft, one of California’s largest cannabis companies.

“It is an honor to be recognized as someone who is making a difference. The industry has evolved so much over the years, and the progress we see today is a direct result of the hard work and relentless persistence of everyone on this list and so many others” said Hunter. Adding “We started CannaCraft because we believed everyone deserved to have access to effective, life-improving cannabis. We’ve been able to build a company that delivers on that dream, and more. Seeing the positive impact that our products have on our customers and the ways we’ve been able to give back to and improve our communities is what motivates us to keep pushing forward.”
