    By

    Kathy Casey is the CEO of PureKana, a wellness company based in Scottsdale, Arizona. She lifted the lid on the company’s journey for Cannabis Wealth.

    How it started

    I started hearing about the health benefits of cannabis and became keenly interested.

    My motivation was to be part of creating an emerging category that could impact the quality of people’s lives.
