Nevada’s first black master grower is keen to drive the local marijuana scene
Aaron McCrary, Nevada’s first black master grower, uses about a quarter of Zion Gardens’ 6,000-square-foot warehouse for growing, but he plans to quadruple that setup and expand to another building by January. “Everyone wants to be the biggest and the best,” he said, “but our idea is to grow conservatively with the marketplace.”
“I’m familiar with every role, from the bottom to the top, with cannabis. From the street corner now to the boardroom,” McCrary said. “It gives me a unique perspective, because I understand it on a micro level and now I’m addressing it on a macro level.”
As co-owner and operator of Zion Gardens cultivation facility in North Las Vegas, McCrary is breaking ground as Nevada’s first black master grower.McCrary sat down with the Sun to discuss his role in the emerging industry, from encouraging minority leadership to dispelling the plant’s negative stigma.
