The Team

Donald opened Vaped City in 2013, located in Scotia, and, with much success, he was able to open another location in Albany. He noticed a demand for CBD as a holistic approach, causing him to expand his market and pursue the next step in his career as an entrepreneur. He has attended many CBD expositions and conventions, enhancing his knowledge in CBD and in purchasing the best third party tested manufactured products.

Renata received her Master of Science in Health and Wellness in spring of 2019 from American College of Healthcare Sciences. During the course of her Master program, CBD became a huge focus of interest as a therapeutic modality in holistic healing. She has done a considerable amount of research on CBD and takes it daily, herself. She is the manager and on-call health practitioner at Upstate CBD creating complementary and alternative regimens for chronic illness. She also just became trained labor and birth doula.

Cannabis has a spectrum of uses that can accommodate most people. Dae'Jah has worked as a CNA and has seen the benefits of what cannabis can do for the senior community. She hopes one day cannabis will be offered in rehabilitation facilities and nursing homes to help with chronic pain and anxiety for those that prefer a natural solution apposed to some of the conventional medications that are provided. Nursing is in her future and Upstate CBD will expand her knowledge on CBD and help apply it to future endeavors.
