Berner, an industry-leading cannabis entrepreneur and rapper, announced his battle with cancer via an Instagram post earlier today. The cannapreneur is the co-founder and CEO of nationwide cannabis company Cookies, which has gained massive respect from the industry while also amassing a huge cult following.
Though many CEOs stay behind-the-scenes, Berner has always be in the forefront, and truthfully at this point, the limelight. The California native has been a true pioneer in the cannabis industry, while simultaneously building a successful music career. His impact and influence on the industry has been invaluable. He extends his transparency beyond business and music, sharing with us his cancer diagnosis.

“I think what made Cookies so special and my music career so special was always being transparent and sharing my journey with you guys. So I figured instead of fighting this alone, I wanted the people who got me where I’m at today to fight with me. 3 weeks ago they founded traces of cancer in a series of blood tests. Today I went in for a procedure hoping to get off easy and found out I have a major fight ahead of me.”
He continues, “If you know me, this has always been my biggest fear, but I am content with where I’m at and what I’m facing as well as every possible outcome. The next month or so will be focused on addressing this as aggressively as possible as well as spending time with my family, finishing my album { Gotti } and planning out the next steps for Cookies.”
