Founder[edit]
Ken Estes is an entrepreneur and philanthropist[citation needed] who founded K.W Estes Mediceuticals and Grand Daddy Purp Collective, Inc. He is CEO of K.W Estes Mediceuticals and President of Grand Daddy Purp Collective, Inc which is a non-profit providing medical marijuana to patients.
Ken was born on May 7, 1958, in the farming town of Martinez, CA. He attended Ignacio High School, where he played baseball, basketball, and soccer. He suffered an accident on July 7, 1976, when he was involved in a motorcycle crash, which resulted in paralysis from the neck down. After years of heavy medication and rehab facilities, a group of Vietnam war veterans he met had turned him on to medical marijuana, to which he credits his rapid improvement. After discovering medical marijuana his partial recovery allowed him to leave the rehab facility and attend Cal State Hayward Upon completion he began operating two hair salons in the cities of Davis and Concord, CA.
In 1993 Ken met a lady who was passing out medical marijuana brownies.[citation needed] Her act of kindness inspired him to pursue medical marijuana cultivation and activism. After working with Dennis Peron and many of the other original activists at the time, Ken decided to open his first Medical Marijuana Collective in Concord, California. Along the way he encountered many legal challenges, including raids. Ken took his original “Grand Daddy Purp” strain[citation needed] and crossed it back into itself, creating Ken's Grand Daddy Purp. It is now listed in the Urban Dictionary as “Ken’s Grand Daddy Purp”.
His clinics are in Richmond, Vallejo, San Jose, Los Angeles, Santa Rosa and South Lake Tahoe.
