Keber’s the foremost proponent and executioner of mass produced, commercially ready marijuana products like edibles, drinkables, and everything else that’ll get you high without a bong rip.

The Colorado entrepreneur has Ph.D. scientists, biochemists, and professionally trained chefs working round the clock to bring you—yes, you, good stoner—some of the most potent, easily consumable THC products this world has seen in a minute. 

He has investors. He has major money men behind him. And he’s destined to turn the mass production of homemade edibles, some of which can be as potent as 75-85 percent THC, into a booming business—once, you know, it becomes legal.
