Paul Stanford is an Entrepreneur with expertise in hemp, cannabis and medical marijuana, and business and nonprofit management. Paul founded and manages medical clinics in several states, and founded and manages national political organizations. In 1988 Paul arranged financing and bank letters of credit for import/export of cargo container shipments of hemp products to and from Asia, Europe and North America.

In 1988, Paul started Tree Free Eco Paper and arranged manufacture of hemp paper in China and Europe. Tree Free Eco Paper imported hemp paper and marketed to businesses and the public via mail order. Since 1999, Paul’s current business The Hemp and Cannabis Foundation has operated medical clinics in 12 states helping patients obtain their state’s medical marijuana permits. THCF has helped over 250,000 patients to date and growing. THCF also produces Paul’s live weekly TV show, Cannabis Common Sense. THCF Medicinal Gardens in Oregon has won many awards for their medicine’s quality.  THCF prints a newspaper, Hemp News, which has also been on-line since 1991 and is the oldest online publication still operating today.

Another one of Paul’s businesses, which was founded over 25 years ago is the Campaign for the Restoration and Regulation of hemp (CRRH). CRRH is a federally registered political committee, a 501c4 under IRS rules. CRRH is working to end adult marijuana prohibition and to restore industrial hemp to a prominent role in the world’s economy. CRRH placed Oregon’s Measure 80 to legalize hemp and cannabis on the ballot in 2012, which obtained 47% of the Oregon vote on Nov. 6, 2012, and continues the political work for global cannabis freedom.

Paul is an award winning cannabis cultivator and has given away over 200 kilos of free marijuana a year to sick and dying patients over the last 12 years.  He grows this medicine in legal medical cannabis gardens licensed by each state that he works in. Paul swept a recent Oregon Medical Cannabis Awards winning the top three places.  

One of the most noteworthy accomplishments in Paul’s distinguished career is when he got Dr. Sanjay Gupta, a neurosurgeon who hosts his own show on CNN, to do a complete 180 on medical marijuana. Paul told Anderson Cooper and Joe Johns in May 2009 that he wanted to debate Gupta. He gave Cooper and Johns electronic copies of medical documents on medical marijuana for Gupta, with linked citations to hundreds of studies, organized alphabetically by medical condition. That’s when Gupta did his 180 and said that marijuana has definite medical value.
