Watch · The Birth of Sativa Santa

Before Sativa Santa… there was Santa.

And Santa was stressed.

People were asking for cannabis, hemp and CBD products he didn’t understand. They weren’t stocked at the North Pole—and Santa had no idea what was legal, what was wellness, or where to begin.

So he did what overwhelmed Santas do: he started venting to an elf.

The elf listened. Then, with the kind of grin that suggested he knew far more than he had ever let on, he finally revealed his past.

“Before the North Pole, I used to be known as the…”Elf with the Top Shelf.

The journey so far

Curiosity took Santa across the country.

He went looking for answers—and found farmers, advocates, patients, legends and a movement much bigger than he expected.

Las Vegas opened his eyes to the movement.

Patients, advocates, entrepreneurs and cultural voices showed Santa how far plant wellness had traveled—and how much remained misunderstood.
