Are you serious? What a tasteless thing to say. Who worries about if prices are going up after a cannabis hero dies

Great tribute
Franko and I spent a fair amount of time together in 05-06 he paid me a huge compliment on my pink kush entry in the 06 High life cup saying it was some of the best MJ he had ever smoked well if nothing else he inspired me to give him every gram I had on me .
I had a few Bumps with the Greenhouse crew since that time that were totally out of my control although had I listened to Arjun & Franco about the company I was keeping They called me to a special meeting and I did not listen to them I would have been in a far better spot today .
So many people have said bad things about these Guys who from my position were like brothers all I can say is that they are great people I can't imagine the loss Arjun is going through and send my heart filled sincere love and good vibes to Frank's Family and the entire Greenhouse organization , The entire Cannabis movement has suffered a profound loss in Franco .
Most Sincerely

Unconfirmed reports of him passing away from an aggressive case of malaria. He was shooting an episode of strain hunters with Viceland.
Still gutted!
From Greenhouse website:
Franco is an icon and helped change so many people’s lives. He will be deeply missed as a brother, father, son, friend and so much more. On his last trip to Africa he contracted Cerebral Malaria and passed away quietly after a short but severe illness. His work and passion for the cannabis plant helped change the world's view and his legacy will live on for generations to come.
After 150 flights in 2016 he still decided to travel to Congo again despite incredibly dangerous political meltdown that was happening at the time he was there. The saddest part of this story is that Franco objective was to assist locals in developing a medicinal landrace oil specifically for treating malaria! A disease whose prevention is so hopelessly underfunded because it primarily affects the poor.

He died shortly after contracting Malaria, in the Congo.
Malaria is the 3rd leading cause of death in the Congo.
I presume, he failed to get himself vaccinated before the trip.
42 !! wow.. he looked so healthy.

Here is the Congo Strain Hunters video. They probably waited to release out of respect for Franco.
