WUNDER FOUNDER PHIL MCGARR KNOWS THE CANNABIS INDUSTRY ABOUT AS WELL AS ANYONE, AND HE BELIEVES PLANT-BASED DRINKS ARE THE FUTURE.
Phil McGarr was growing Cannabis before he’d ever even heard the term. Growing up in Palo Alto, the future cultivator, investor and business owner first became interested in the plant through his older brother. Following his sibling’s tragic death in 1989, McGarr was asked by some of his brother’s friends if he’d help them with their respective grows.
“I would help out with stuff like watering the plants,” McGarr told California Leaf during an interview in November. “Sometimes I’d even store plants on my parents’ roof.” At the age of 15, on his family’s annual summer trip to Germany, McGarr booked a detour to Amsterdam – where he successfully arranged for a large crate of hydro equipment, seeds, books and other materials to be shipped back home to a friend. From the moment that crate (somewhat miraculously) arrived safely in the U.S., McGarr’s fate as a lifelong student of Cannabis was sealed.
