Finding A New Life in Cannabis: Danny Murr-Sloat

One thing about covering cannabis is that you will hear some fantastic stories about how the plant helped someone find a new life. 

Danny Murr-Sloat has one of those types of stories. 

Dealing with a list of health problems, from chronic stomach pains to discovering he had thoracic outlet syndrome and a non-cancerous brain tumor, Danny found himself dependent on pills. 

By 2009, he was on 19 different prescription medications and falling deeper into depression. At the urging of his father, he got his first medical cannabis card in December of that year. After this plant-based treatment, Danny's life began to change rapidly. 

By mid-2010, he had lost 70 pounds and weaned himself off of pain medications completely. 

His newfound love for cannabis would eventually develop into a love for growing cannabis. 

By 2024, Danny had amassed 14 years of experience across the U.S. and Canada, developing his own proprietary genetics and consulting with some of the largest cultivations in the industry. 

We spoke with Danny about his transition from pills to the plant, what he would want to be remembered for, his work with AlpinStash Genetics, and more.
