About the Author

Internationally known as a connoisseur breeder and expert cultivator, Soma’s renown has blossomed to include writing and photography of the cannabis plant among his many skills. Articles by Soma can now be found in specialty pot-focused magazines around the world.

Soma’s dedication to the cannabis plant and earth positive lifestyle are reflected in his decades of work with the plant, his decision to expatriate to Amsterdam, and his longstanding vegetarianism. According to Soma, "The times we all find ourselves in are about solutions, ones that truly work. And so I write and take pictures about cannabis to increase public awareness. The future is all about lifestyle change and for me cannabis has much to do with an improvement in the sources we as humans use to sustain our modern lifestyle."

Soma's varieties are considered legendary and the "New York City Diesel" strain he developed has been a big winner among the most reputable harvest festivals of Europe. Several of his strains are featured in The Big Book of Buds series, which highlights the best pot varieties on the planet. He has also been awarded the highly competitive Cannabis Cup in Amsterdam.
