At the start of 2018, things were looking good for Weston Wenner. 

After starting out “Johnny Appleseed-style with bag seeds in the swamps of Florida,” Weston had gradually, cautiously turned cannabis farming into a full-time calling. In the early days, he says, one plant could put you in prison for years and years. But by the time he moved to Colorado in 2013, medical cannabis was legal and recreational was soon to follow. So, he put the money he’d saved toward a 35-acre property where he’d build, then run, a 5,400-square foot grow operations facility. Things were going well, and he’d carved out a secure career path for himself. 

Then, the feds came.

“I got raided by the federal government,” Weston recalls. “They hit my facility, they hit my house, they went to my storage unit. They took all my guns. They tased my dogs and impounded them. They took all of my vehicles. They clean swept me, and a week later, they hit me with seven felony charges.”

All that Weston, who was over his approved plant count, was technically due for was a fine or misdemeanor. Instead, the feds decided to rip apart his life — something that put Weston in an extremely dark place. Everything he’d worked for was gone, and his income stream was turned off overnight. His mental health took a turn for the worst. That’s when Weston decided to take matters into his own hands.

On this episode of “The Liam Church Show,” Weston tells Liam about what it took to pull himself up from rock bottom, and how he helps others do the same through his coaching practice today.

What You’ll Learn:

• Why Weston believes cannabis “will truly change the world” — and why big pharma wants to keep that from happening
• The resilience-building habits and routines that helped Weston recover from being raided by the feds, losing his mother and losing his best friend to alcoholism
• The biggest problem with the cannabis industry today
• And much more!

“We’re all going to go through s*** in life. We can either wallow in it, sit in it and let it consume us, or we can put one foot in front of the other and just keep moving. It’s entirely up to us.”
