Maurice Morton is Bringing "Mor" Cannabis to the Community

My name is Maurice Morton and I’m a Co-Founder of Mor-Hemp which is based in Virginia. I live in Capitol Heights, Maryland, but I spent the first half of my life living in Northeast D.C. Growing up in the DMV area definitely shaped me as an individual and a businessman.

The people in my community have always set the trends in the region. I’ve been blessed to see it happen from the late 80’s up until now and it amazes me to see how many influential and successful people call this area home. Seeing their accomplishments is a big part of why I grind so hard. I want to add my name to that list of hometown success stories.

“I’ve been a cannabis enthusiast for close to 20 years and I’ve loved to watch how it’s evolved from the ‘Reggie’ and ‘Kine Bud Hydro’ days to the quality and variety we see today. That variety is what I love most about cannabis cultivation — and the fact that it’s universal!”

I’ve been a cannabis enthusiast for close to 20 years and I’ve loved to watch how it’s evolved from the “Reggie” and “Kine Bud Hydro” days to the quality and variety we see today. That variety is what I love most about cannabis cultivation — and the fact that it’s universal! No matter your race, creed or color, everyone can come together in celebration to grow or just appreciate the greatest flower known to man.

“It’s an honor to be asked to be on such a grand stage, and I can’t wait to taste all the wonderful flavors, terps, and smell all the goodness of what we have growing right here in our area.”

I’m extremely excited about being a judge for the National Cannabis Championship. It’s an honor to be asked to be on such a grand stage, and I can’t wait to taste all the wonderful flavors, terps, and smell all the goodness of what we have growing right here in our area. 

“I can’t think of anyone with more knowledge than DC Scroger. I’ve followed him for years and watched him share his knowledge and teach people how to grow some amazing flower.”

There is so much talent in the DMV that doesn’t get recognition. I can’t think of anyone with more knowledge than DC Scroger, master grower and owner of Blue and Yellow Studios, LLC, a multimedia visual and podcasting studio. I’ve followed him for years and watched him share his knowledge and teach people how to grow some amazing flower. I wouldn’t be surprised if one of his students makes it to the competition. He’s definitely one of my cannabis heroes!
