Tributes To Dion Markgraaff

Across social media users’ timelines are statements that show respect, admiration, and gratitude towards Markgraaff as people mourn the passing.

A huge hole is left in the hearts of so many in the Hemp Community. If Jack Herer was the Emperor of Hemp, then Dion Markgraaff was the Prime Minister.
Dion was a tireless, lifetime advocate for the hemp plant, and his advocacy went back decades. He opened a Hemp Shop in Amsterdam in the early 1990’s, and after legalization in California in 1996, he opened the first medical marijuana dispensary in San Diego.
He knew of almost every aspect of the plant and its applications. He was instrumental in education and held the first Cannabis Village at Earth Day in San Diego’s Balboa Park in 2017, where he spread his wisdom and encouraged others with hands on learning. Callie and Friends was honored to sponsor the Art Zone at that amazing event.
Hearts in the Hemp Community are heavy, after learning of his passing in his sleep, on Sunday February 21st. He was one of kindest, friendliest and most knowledgeable people on the plant, that we have known.
We are also sending prayers to his family, as Dion’s mother, with whom he lived (who would have turned 90 on Monday, February 22 and she passed away on Saturday, the 20th, just a day before Dion).
The hemp industry won’t ever be quite the same without his vast experience, and boundless enthusiasm for the plant, and the planet.
RIP Dion Markgraaff. Gone too soon, forever in our hearts
