This is a holiday story you probably haven’t seen before.
After Ryan Day publicly told his story of struggling to get and grow legal marijuana to treat his son’s severe epilepsy, some pot entrepreneurs responded with generosity.
Two leaders in Seattle’s medical marijuana industry, Alex Cooley and Ryan Kunkel, reached out to the Day family — and are expanding their charity to others in need during the holiday season.
Cooley, who runs a fully permitted growing operation in Seattle, visited Day’s Thurston County house to advise him on how to grow rare strains of pot that are low in psychoactive chemicals but high in cannabidiol, or CBD, which is believed to have therapeutic qualities.
