M4MM Director & Plant Advocate ”NICOLE BUFFONG” Continues Global Mission To Inspire & Heal!

Since being diagnosed with HIV in 2017, Nicole Buffong has been on a mission to not only educate the world on the power of plant medicine, but also create spaces for progress, education, and activism for the sacred cannabis plant. Determined not to take synthetic drugs for the rest of her life, Nicole went against doctors’ recommendations & launched her own holistic healing initiative, becoming a pioneer in the green foods movement.

In September 2017, she founded the Georgia chapter of Minorities for Medical Marijuana, one of the country’s largest non-profit organizations working to bring equity and opportunity to communities hit hardest by the drug war through providing advocacy, education, and training. Ultimately, Buffong has served M4MM in a variety of capacities, including Regional Director of the Caribbean and Nevada State Director prior to accepting her current role as Western Regional Director across 8 states.

Nicole also serves on the Board of Directors for ACHEM, Association for Cannabis Health, Equity & Medicine & The Nevada Chamber of Cannabis. In 2021, she created Purple Plant Magic, a cannabis consulting agency focusing on using education to empower Cannabis users and their ally's into becoming advocates as well as custom education curriculum for brands and community programs. Buffong is also excited about expanding the legal Cannabis industry throughout the Caribbean, ensuring the region has the advocacy resources it needs. Her experience in both the patient and caretaker role has helped her immensely on her journey of building a campaign to achieve legislative goals and promote a holistic, healthy lifestyle.
