NOTE FROM TED: This talk only represents the speaker’s personal views and experiences around cannabis. While cannabis is an emerging field of study, its associated health effects remain inconclusive and unsupported by current scientific evidence. TEDx events are independently organized by volunteers.

A serial entrepreneurial leader in the global cannabis industry, Rico Lamitte in his TEDx Talk “The Man Behind The Mask: 3 Times Cannabis Saved My Life”, shares his personal journey from a traumatic childhood, college athletics and opioid addiction to rehabilitation through authenticity and entrepreneurship rooted in plant medicine.
Rico was a co-founder of National Diversity and Inclusion Cannabis Alliance (NDICA). He actively assists several nationwide social impact organizations with their own community initiatives in the same vein.
Rico also helps companies on both sides of the cannabis industry (plant-touching and ancillary) with their marketing and sales efforts through his consultative outfit, The Suave Life, LLC, traveling everywhere the green waves of opportunity take him.
Along the way, he has hosted, emceed, and produced events of all sizes for celebrities, professional athletes, and investors looking to get into the green lane; effectively becoming the hub for all interested parties both in and outside of big cannabis, CBD, and hemp industries.
His multi-location monthly wellness series, CBD Sundays, has rapidly become a regional hotspot for active, health & wellness-minded individuals, combining the three pillars of wellness, nourishment, and community. The CBD Sundays platform is active in multiple states with a philosophy built upon mirroring and celebrating each location’s unique demographic footprint and educating attendees on the benefits of plant medicine, alternative healing, and living a more balanced life.
