The UK's first cannabis billionaire is preparing to launch a new business venture and give back to his home city Nottingham. Maximillian White grew up in Radford and was once the youngest pub landlord in the nation, but over the years he has gone from being a pub landlord, to working in the music industry and creating the internationally known Blanco Beach Club, to working in app development before moving into the medical marijuana industry.
He continued: "After the death of my brother it was quite difficult to focus on business and trying to be motivated, so I had to get a new challenge which was a little bit different to take on. I want to take out the crime around the black sales of marijuana, so the youngsters of different areas, even Nottingham, are not growing up with criminal records for cannabis.
To join the cannabis trade legally and get all of the relevant licensing and equipment it can take years and "tens if not hundreds of millions" so Maximillian hopes that through Dr Green he can offer people a way to join the industry for a lot less and to sell cannabis responsibly and ethically rather than going on the wrong side of the law.
"The regulator has given us the opportunity to build a platform that we can prove to them works." He explained that they are "pioneering something here that could change the entire industry" and one day it could help regulators stop illegally grown weed from entering the legal market. Regarding the profits he will eventually make from the business, Maximillian said: "I do want to give a big chunk of private sales to Nottingham, especially to underprivileged areas." He explained that they want to find charities in the area to support and would like organisations interested to contact him.
