The Canna Kuyas
"There are 100,000 total marijuana smokers in the U.S., and most are Negroes, Hispanics, Filipinos and entertainers...This marijuana causes white women to seek sexual relations with Negroes, entertainers, and any others."
-Testimony to US Congress supporting Marihuana Tax Act 1937-Harry Anslinger (1892-1975) Assistant Prohibition Commissioner
This is the quote that inspired Filipino American Entertainers Erick Esteban and Mitch Narito, otherwise know as "The Canna Kuyas" to cultivate conversations about cannabis.
Filipinos were specifically mentioned in demonizing and criminalizing this plant and now the Canna Kuyas can be a part of decriminalizing and de-stigmatizing this plant. In 2024 as medicinal and recreational cannabis sweep across the country join the Canna Kuyas on their journey into Cannabis Culture.
