Farewell to Legendary Cannabis Pioneer Bobby Tuna.
It’s with great sadness that we share the news of our dear friend and partner’s passing. Robert Platshorn, also known as “Bobby Tuna,” died this weekend at the age of 80 in his home state of Florida. Beloved by many who knew and worked with him, Bobby was a tremendous voice and pioneer of the cannabis industry.
From his adventures in the early days of cannabis innovation, to building renowned flower brand Black Tuna, and later his dedication to senior outreach and education on the Silver Tour, Bobby was a true advocate for the plant’s power and potential to help people.
One of Trulieve’s first business partners in Florida and, most recently, West Virginia, he was part of the Trulieve family. We’re grateful to have had the pleasure of working alongside such a dedicated activist and legendary personality. He will be dearly missed.
Bobby took great pride in developing and nurturing every facet of Black Tuna’s unique and proprietary genetics. His flower was his gift to those in search of deep relief and unforgettable strains. Bobby’s legacy will live on through his brand and all those who cherish it.
Rest Easy Bobby, You’ll Be Missed.
Feel free to drop condolences messages and prayers for the family and friends of the deceased as it will go a very long way at this difficult time of theirs.
