Fallen Cannabis Warriors: Dustin & Jared Marson

Such a tragic event leaves me and many here at a loss of words.

Still, we wish to help hold up their family and friends, and our community somehow.

Below are the most appropriate words I've found, those of Lao Tzu as translated by Stephen Mitchell in Tao Te Ching.

16
Empty your mind of all thoughts.
Let your heart be at peace.
Watch the turmoil of beings,
but contemplate their return.

Each separate being in the universe
returns to the common source.

Returning to the source is serenity.

If you don't realize the source,
you stumble in confusion and sorrow.
When you realize where you come from,
you naturally become tolerant,
disinterested, amused,
kindhearted as a grandmother,
dignified as a king.
Immersed in the wonder of the Tao,
you can deal with whatever life brings you,
and when death comes, you are ready.

I hope these words comfort you all as much as they've comforted me through the years.

If I may, one more appropriate verse.

23
Express yourself completely,
then keep quiet.
Be like the forces of nature:
when it blows, there is only wind;
when it rains, there is only rain;
when the clouds pass, the sun shines through.

If you open yourself to the Tao,
you are at one with the Tao
and you can embody it completely.
If you open yourself to insight,
you are at one with insight
and you can use it completely.
If you open yourself to loss,
you are at one with loss

and you can accept it completely.

Open yourself to the Tao,
then trust your natural responses;
and everything will fall into place.
 
Our hearts are saddened by this news.

Though we didn't have a chance to know Dustin and Jared in person, we've heard a lot about their work and impact on cannabis community. That's a huge loss for all of us.

We send our support to their families during this difficult time.

Rest in peace, dear warriors. Much love from Spain.
 
Our most sincere condolences to their family and friends. Losing someone is always hurtful, so we cannot just imagine how difficult must be for their people the tragic loss of two young and happy brothers.

From The Vault, we just wish they can find peace wherever they're now, so can their families too.

'Sit tibi terra levis'

Much love from Scotland.
 
It is with great sadness that we announce the death of brothers, Dustin and Jared Marson, who passed away last weekend. The details of their deaths are still unclear. All the staff at 420 Magazine are shocked and saddened by this news. Our sincere condolences go to their family, friends and all their workmates at Left Coast Wholesale & Rhizoflora.

Jared Marson - Rhizoflora

Sadly many of our members never had the pleasure of meeting or interacting with Dustin or Jared. Dustin was the Operations Manager of Left Coast Wholesale, who also owned Rhizoflora, and Jared was a Product Specialist at Rhizoflora. Together, these two companies owned several brands we promote; GeoFlora Nutrients, GeoPot, Purpinator, Terpinator, Earths Alive & Ecoworks. Dustin was the mastermind behind most of the technical cultivation questions being hurled at them daily for all of these products. When our members asked questions, he was the person answering them in the beginning, then when he got too busy his team used the account but relayed the answers from him. Dustin was a true pleasure to work with: always responsive, helpful and professional. Below you can see him doing what he loved, working on his farm.

Dustin & Sabrina Marson - Wedding in Hawaii

While I never had the pleasure of meeting Jared, I spoke with Dustin on a daily/weekly basis. He was not only a client, he was my friend. I wish to publicly thank Dustin for everything he brought to our mission. My brother, I always have been and always will be grateful to you. You helped us launch our first comparative grow, providing an abundant supply of resources and support for all of our growers around the world. You went beyond the call of duty helping me personally through a distressed grow at my friend's farm. We were in the middle of working on a project with epic proportions, I will do my best to continue without you and make it happen in your honor. I will forever miss our long, deep discussions, and I already miss you terribly. I’m sending your spirit all my love and positive healing energy through the universe.

Always bad news when we lose a soldier in the fight for legalization. God Speed brothers. Deep Condolences for their family.
 
How awful and saddening. While I didn't know Jared or Dustin personally, its always such a tragedy to lose fellow cannafamily. May they bless the heavens with wonderful heavenly cannabis :) Prayers and my heart goes out to all those who were close to Jared and Dustin, as well as their family and loved ones. Makes me sad to hear things like this happening to good folks.

IF this may help those that may be suffering from the loss..... One thing that always helps me cope with the loss of loved ones, is to let them have eternal life, through the things they shared with you... whether it was a smile, a memory, something they taught you..... share that gift they gave you, with the world and let it continue to spread and reverberate here on earth :)
 
Our thoughts and prayers are with Dustin and Jared's family and friends in this distressing time. We are so sorry for your loss. Their names and accomplishments will never be forgotten in our 420 world...
We offer our sincere and deepest condolences to you all..:green_heart:
 
Omg such young vibrant men. This is heartbreaking.

I am so sorry for your loss. Friends tend to be the family we get to choose. And my condolences go out to all who know and love these two blokes.

Tbh I don’t even know what to say. I am thinking of you. Xo
Hi
I worked with Dustin for many years and honestly he was one of the nicest kindest intelligent guys I have ever met in the hydro industry.
Unfortunately didn’t get to meet Jared but heard he was a great person.
I know me and team will miss Dustin,
Nothing but good memories of an amazing kind and gentle person.
God bless you mate.
