Our Story
THE CLICK-BAIT VERSION IS, A SWAT GUY STARTED A CANNABIS COMPANY! THE REALITY THOUGH, IS A LITTLE MORE COMPLICATED. I AM A FORMER POLICE OFFICER, WHO SPENT a CAREER IN THE MIDDLE OF THE WAR ON DRUGS AT THE HEIGHT OF THE HEROIN EPIDEMIC. THOUGH I HAVE A UNIQUE PERSPECTIVE, GIVEN MY BACKGROUND, I AM UNIFIED IN THE SINGULAR BELIEF THAT THE WAR ON DRUGS IS A FAILURE.
AS A COUNTRY WE HAVE SUFFERED TOGETHER, BOTH CIVILIAN AND POLICE. WE HAVE BLED, LOST LOVED ONES AND HAVE SEEN GENERATIONS AFFECTED. ALOHA TYMEMACHINE was COOKED UP TO BREAK OUT OF THE GAME AND START MAKING A DIFFERENCE. WHEN APPROACHING THE CANNABIS SPACE, the GOAL WAS TO SIMPLY PROVIDE PATIENTS WITH THE BEST. A\T APPAREL PROVIDED A VEHICLE FOR CHANGE THAT COMBINES THE FINEST STREETWEAR WITH A NEW TAKE ON 90'S RETRO.
THE POINT IS, ALOHA IS ALIGNING WITH SOCIAL SERVICES ORGANIZATIONS AND CHARITIES THAT SUPPORT BOTH SIDES AFFECTED BY THE WAR ON DRUGS. ALOHA PRODUCTS WILL SUPPORT A MISSION OF CREATING NETWORKS OF CHANGE TO ENSURE POSITIVE COMMUNITY IMPACT. HELP SUPPORT THE LEGALIZATION OF CANNABIS AND CREATE MEANINGFUL CHANGES IN YOUR COMMUNITIES! JOIN US AND LIVE THE ALOHA LIFE... FAMILY, COMMUNITY AND LOVE.
