Soma's Sacred Seeds

Back in 1967, Soma was working at IBM as a mail clerk in the office products division on Madison Avenue in NYC. Another employee helped him get some Marijuana rolled up in joints. Right after work, he walked down to the East River dressed in his three-piece suit and tie and lit up my first joint. He instantly fell in love with the calm feeling it brought to his whole being. He was 18 years old.

In the 45 years that passed since his first joint he found cannabis to be one of the most positive forces in his life. Soma started growing cannabis in 1971 in southern Vermont. He owned and ran a vegetarian restaurant and bakery. As he became more aware of his diet, a deeper knowledge of ecology and its effect on the environment came with the territory.

This naturally led to growing cannabis in an organic eco-friendly manner. From that point on, he have been finding different ways to make his thumbs greener. This magnificent plant species has helped teach him the art of having and taking care of houseplants, the art of nurturing, and the art of photography to name but a few. Far from being a demotivator, marijuana has become interwoven with many of his interests, and its influence has opened his mind to explore many he might have never other wise pursued. Although marijuana laws are never fair around the planet, he refuses to give up his right to have his sacrament and medicine constantly near him in the form of clothing, food, plants, paper and smoke. In this way he does his part to overgrow the whole darn place.

Soma's book 'Organic Marijuana Soma Style' is available online and at the American Book Center in Amsterdam.
