Ryan Krelove

Ryan is a clinic manager and community advocate with Cannabis Supply Co. A patient centered clinic which provides legal access, advice and education to eligible Canadian patients.

His position requires many hats including patient support and education, relationship management, marketing, business development, operations, and strategy. Ryan is a strong believer in the cannabis movement, alternative health, patient care, education, and an inclusive market.

Over the past 15 years, Ryan has worked in many industries including financial services, security and intelligence, gaming, small business, and nonprofit. What began with financial research into the industry quickly changed when he started to understand the massive medical potential of cannabis, from what he previously knew and understood. Ryan has always been an advocate for fair access and sought opportunities to join the industry when the rules and conversations around medical cannabis began to shift. He began to deeply explore cannabis as an alternative medicine, and consuming it with increased awareness and purpose. He decided to shift completely into the cannabis industry late in 2016.

Ryan applies his knowledge and experience to contribute in changing the dialogue around cannabis consumption and regulation, and to help patients understand and navigate an entirely new and legal industry.
