Queer cannabis company takes root in SF
Car collisions often result in dented fenders, an exchange of insurance information, or worse. Sometimes, though, the outcome is a little more hopeful.
John Xavier Moore, 31, and his business partner, Paul Walker, 29, both queer, were in a ride-share vehicle in 2019 when their driver ran a red light.
The injuries they suffered were enough to make them worry about the longer-term repercussions of prescription opioids, a direction they very much wanted to avoid.
So they came up with another approach: a cannabis-based balm. One they made themselves."The idea for the balm came after the accident, infusing full spectrum oil into balms similar to ones we were already using as a means of alleviating soreness and pain," said Moore, who was the photography director of an Oakland-based organic beauty brand at the time.
