John Berfelo: Cannabis Pioneer, Educator, and Industry Leader

With over three decades of hands-on experience in the cannabis industry, John Berfelo is a true OG (Original Grower), trailblazer, and visionary. John's journey began in 1988 in Poco, British Columbia, where he first learned the craft of growing cannabis from a close friend. By 1991, he transitioned to indoor cultivation, pioneering innovative growing techniques that continue to shape the industry today. His expertise spans from the cultivation of cannabis to the development of revolutionary indoor farming methods for crops like cucumbers, peppers, and tomatoes. His dedication to sustainable and forward-thinking agricultural practices is reflected in his #1 best-selling book, "LEDs: The Keys to Your Growing Future," which serves as a guide to future-proofing the cultivation industry for unconventional spaces.

As the CEO of multiple companies, including The I Green Planet Store Ltd. and Medtainer Canada, John has spent his career leading others to success, focusing on personal growth, leadership, and the future of cannabis. His business ventures emphasize both environmental sustainability and technological innovation. His Medtainer product—a one-of-a-kind, medical-grade storage container with a built-in grinder—has gained global recognition for revolutionizing cannabis packaging.

John’s influence extends far beyond cultivation. He was the subject of the first published study on natural cannabis .
