Alexander Repetski

Alexander Repetski is an entrepreneur, media production artist and communications strategist. Years ago, he began researching cannabis as an analgesic to control his own arthritis pain.

His interest in cannabinoid therapy became increasingly important in 2012 when his daughter Gwenevere was diagnosed with intractable epilepsy. He came across cannabis while researching various areas of neuroscience in an effort to understand treatment options. After repeated failures of traditional therapies, he has successfully treated Gwenevere’s seizures with specialized cannabis cultivars, extractions and formulations. As a result of his research and media appearances he is regularly asked to speak about his experiences and findings to audiences both within the cannabis patient community and the academic world.

He enjoys hugs from his children and new ideas.
