Leah Samura

Leah Samura is a Dorchester native who created a wellness adult cannabis lifestyle for herself through a holistic relationship with the plant. A long-time cannabis advocate, she has introduced cannabis to many people who might not otherwise feel comfortable trying or purchasing cannabis products themselves, including an older generation of women in her own community. Additionally, Leah introduced her husband, an Iraq veteran who suffered from pain from his military service, to the pain relief that cannabis can offer. Together, they created a sex positive cannibas product, Purient Bedroom Cannabis.

In addition to leading Purient and Yamba Boutique, Leah is also the President of Cannabis By Default Inc., a cannabis consulting company that focuses on real pathways to employment and ownership for people who have been disproportionately harmed by the grotesque enforcement policies of cannabis prohibition. As someone who has witnessed such policies first-hand, Leah is committed not only to ending the misguided war on people caused by cannabis prohibition, but to being a mentor and guiding light for those who look to the cannabis industry as a means to create pathways to economic freedom. Leah is currently contributing to a groundbreaking cannabis training campus in Boston, which will include a greenhouse for cultivation, manufacturing facilities and both medical and adult use retail.

As a strong advocate for women, Leah believes that women can be, should be, and deserve to be leaders in the cannabis community.
