J Lenaburg was born in Southern California but has lived in Utah nearly his whole life. Though he was raised in the Sugarhouse neighborhood of Salt Lake City, he has lived all around the Wasatch Front and considers himself a native Utahn. He has been an advocate for plant medicine for many years, and believes using plants as medicine returns us to our evolutionary track of what it is to be human. In his spare time, he serves on the Board of Directors for Element 11, a local non-profit supporting art and creativity in our community.
