Jamie Warm is the CEO and Co-Founder of Henry’s Original. Despite the young age of the legal industry, Jamie has only had one career: growing cannabis. At Henry’s Original,  his responsibilities include setting the overall strategic vision of the company, driving retail penetration and nurturing the financial health of the company.

Jamie started his career working at Santa Barbara’s first dispensary while attending college at UCSB. Over two years he learned the process of cultivation, before opening his own dispensary and running that for over a year. In 2007, Jamie graduated with a Bachelor of Arts in philosophy from University of California Santa Barbara. After college, Jamie sold his dispensary and used every dollar he had to buy a cannabis farm in Laytonville, California, located in the heart of Mendocino County,  the wild, rugged heartland synonymous with the new cannabis green rush. That farm set down the roots of what today is known as Henry’s Original, one of the largest flower companies in California. Handcrafted in small batches, every Henry’s Original whole flower jar and pre-roll product purchase gives back to support California farming communities.
