Former Red Sox outfielder Shane Victorino’ life after baseball looks a lot different than some of his peers.
Recently Shane announced a partnership agreement between his Hawaii cannabis business and a California-based hemp business,
Victorino’s company, Legacy Ventures Hawaii, has partnered with Arcadia Biosciences on Tuesday to grow, extract and sell hemp products beginning later this year.
A resident of Maui, Shane spoke about the importance of the deal for Hawaii.
“We believe hemp has the potential to transform Hawaii’s economy — and the lives of its farmers and local communities — by creating an entirely new agricultural segment based on bringing innovation, scientific integrity and investment to the islands.”
Shane joins a list of fellow retired athletes who have turned to cannabis as a second career.
