Fairway Green Cannabis was launched earlier this month and is headed by Michael Inskip, a former high-tech sales and marketing executive who later led a capital pool company, Thoroughbred Capital. Fairway Green Cannabis says it plans to cultivate cannabis for medical and pharmaceutical applications as well as invest heavily in R&D, including “alternative growing strategies,” engineered enzymes and tailored genetics.
The company’s leadership team also includes local intellectual property lawyer Gordon Freedman.
