  Marta Sampaio

  Marketing and Communication

  I was born in Porto in 1987. I graduated in Portuguese and Lusophone Studies from the University of Minho in 2008.
  In the same University I did two Post-graduations, one in Cultural Studies and another in Theory of Literature, in the Cinema Branch.
  In 2011 I joined the team of MEDIAsounds, a company dedicated to communication and cultural production, a project that I continue to embrace these days. I like to travel because it allows me direct contact and study of different cultures.
  I am an activist in relation to Hemp due to the diverse potentialities of the plant that despite having a direct cultural relationship with Portuguese history was manipulated worldwide by large corporations. It is a kind of damn plant, allocated to various stigmas based on disinformation precisely because of the multidisciplinary potential of uses of this natural resource for medicinal and industrial purposes, far beyond the controversial recreational use.

  Born the 4th of September of 1974, Hugo went through the Portuguese revolution in the warmth and confort of the womb.  Years later, after graduating in Communication Design he freelanced his way to the business world. He believes graphic design is a great tool both for education and inspiration, so from the start he always tried to gravitate towards social and ecological causes, companies or events. He has developed  work for environmental causes,  movie documentaries,  book covers, and more.

  He always prefers to remain as anonymous as possible.

  Eddy

  CannaSkate Coordinator

  My name is Eduardo, I was born in Johannesburg, South Africa in 1983 and I have been skating since the 1990s under the influence of the movie "Kids".
  In 2010 I opened a small shop in the city of Maia called Clandestina, a brand that until today is active and progressing. In 2014 I founded the North Skate Association which  held several events in the city of Porto and created the first space covered for the practice of the modality. Cannabis has played a key role during these years. Besides being a creative stimulus for the design of our products, it has also served as a relaxing and treatment for various types of pain.
  Nowadays, medical cannabis companies have been betting progressively on professional skaters precisely because of the positive and curative effects they have been presenting, attracting interest from other practitioners.

  Gustavo "Mesk"

  My name is Gustavo, I was born in Porto in 1985 and I am currently a freelance illustrator, graduated in Digital Arts and Multimedia by ESAD de Matosinhos in 2008. I adopted the stage name "Mesk" in 2004 and since then I have been claiming space on city walls for where I spend with unique pieces of my own, using the technique of aerosol / graffiti painting. "Mesk" comes from mescaline because I relate the vivid colors and fluid forms present in my work to the effects associated with ingestion of the psychotropic in question. I support the use of hemp in a wide range of industrial sectors, both for its incredible versatility in terms of raw materials and the proven medicinal benefits of its derivatives. As a recreational substance, I have to say that a natural muscle consciousness raising / relaxing plant being banned reflects the path the Society is taking in this hopefully short cycle of resource destruction and nature reserves.
