Canna Pura Vida:
A Story of Healing and Hope
Canna Pura Vida was born from the journey of its founder, Tom McCullen. A cancer survivor, Tom’s life took an unexpected turn when he discovered the healing power of cannabis during his battle with the disease. While undergoing treatments that took a toll on both his body and spirit, it was cannabis that brought him and his family the relief and strength they needed to endure the tough times. 18 years ago Tom moved from the U.S. to Costa Rica to continue his healing journey. He attributes his victory over cancer to this remarkable plant, this beautiful country, and through that experience, he found his life's mission: to help others explore safer, natural alternatives to healing.
Canna Pura Vida is not only focused on providing high-quality, natural remedies, but also on creating a lasting, positive impact in Costa Rica. Tom envisions working closely with the President of Costa Rica and government officials to implement safe and sustainable cannabis practices that will improve the quality of life for the country’s people. Through education, he hopes to break down the stigma surrounding cannabis and offer families a natural path to healing, much like the one that saved his own life.
At its core, Canna Pura Vida is about more than just cannabis—it’s about hope, healing, and creating a brighter, healthier future for all. Tom’s mission is to help patients and their families find peace and relief through natural ways, while uplifting communities through education and responsible practices. With a heart full of gratitude and a vision for the future, Tom McCullen and Canna Pura Vida are committed to transforming lives.
