ABOUT BERNER
Business entrepreneur and Billboard charting rapper Gilbert Milam Jr. aka Berner sits atop COOKIES, a cannabis and clothing brand with over 30 retail outlets in eight states and two countries. Raised by working-class parents in the San Francisco Bay Area of California, Berner works hard and smart! Drawing on his younger days working as a budtender in a legal medical cannabis shop, Berner knew he had something unique to offer the cannabis world, especially since so few people of color legally own any parts of the 15 billion-dollar industry they’ve otherwise participated in for decades. In the later 2000’s, he partnered with Bay Area breeder and cultivator Jai “Jigga” Chang to create COOKIES, a strain of medical marijuana they formerly marketed as “Girl Scout Cookies.” The cannabis strain, paired with a streetwear clothing line of the same name, gave birth to a company and an entire cannabis enterprise. All made from scratch. In 2011, Berner was signed to Wiz Khalifa’s label, Taylor Gang Records. Forty albums — 10 charting on Billboard — and countless collaborations with the likes of Snoop Dogg, Chris Brown, Jacka, Cam’ron, and others, have served to amplify his music and his “budding” business.

ABOUT COOKIES
COOKIES, founded in 2008 by Berner and his partner Jai, a Bay Area breeder and cultivator, is more than a premiere cannabis company; it is an authentic lifestyle brand with passionate fans all over the world. The company went mainstream in 2011 and has grown its business through a combination of globally recognized premium genetics, popular culture resonance, and social media influence. COOKIES is constantly engaged in new breeding projects to launch differentiated brands and has quickly built a grassroots cult following while remaining loyal to its brand promise: authenticity and innovative genetics.

Today, COOKIES is one of the most well-respected and top-selling cannabis brands in California and has brand awareness throughout the world. The company and its product are recognized globally and offer a collection of over 150 proprietary cannabis varieties and product lines including indoor and sungrown flower, pre-rolls, gel caps, vape carts, CBD flower and medicinal mushrooms. COOKIES' seed-to-sale business allows for complete quality control at every step — from cultivation and production to the customer’s retail experience. With a deep commitment to restorative justice and progressive drug policy, COOKIES actively works to enrich communities disproportionately impacted by the “War on Drugs” through advocacy work and social equity initiatives.
