About Us.

I am your host, Christopher Carr. Welcome to the Cannabis Connection.

Every week on the Cannabis Connection Show I provide stimulating conversation with professionals, regulators, researchers, and experts striving to demystify common misconceptions about Cannabis. Our radio broadcast educates and opens a dialogue surrounding the potential Cannabis has to heal ailments, but also our society from a social and economic standpoint. My professional mission is to educate the public on Cannabis stewardship, science, policy, industry, and research. I continue to represent our Santa Cruz Cannabis Legacy in the greater Cannabis Community with a positive rapport within the leading activists in Sacramento and Emerald Triangle. Rooted in the ethics of the Compassionate Use Act ,while engaging the leading minds of the ever evolving California Cannabis Industry, I serve the community shaping a local Cannabis movement that reflects the values of Santa Cruz through leadership and compassion.
