Thomas founded his eponymous firm in 1994. Besides investing in the cannabis space, Thomas has proven successful in other niches, including spirits — as the owner of Cheurlin Champagnes — and sports as co-founder of the Raptors.

With One World Pharma, the former Detroit Piston is looking to the automotive industry.

“We want to be a catalyst to change, to helping the massive automotive industry transform itself, and the planet, through the replacement of petroleum based plastics with wonderful sustainable hemp derivatives,” Thomas said Wednesday.

The company intends to utilize its Colombian operations in growing large scale hemp.

One World Pharma further noted its partnership with Colombia’s FEDECORE, which provides seed-to-sale assistance to qualified local populations in the country, would boost its cultivation capacities to over one million acres.

“I firmly believe that those who embrace hemp technology and endorse its introduction will find themselves on the favorable side of a greener future,” added Thomas.
