Legendary Cannabis Breeder David Watson, aka ‘Sam the Skunkman,’ Dies

Watson is also credited for developing Haze, among other popular cultivars

David Paul Watson, known in the cannabis community as “Sam the Skunkman” for his breeding expertise, including developing world-renowned cultivar Skunk #1, died on Jan. 27.

Watson and his wife of 54 years, Diana, were en route to spending a month with friend Todd McCormick, a longtime cannabis activist and fellow breeder who announced the death Tuesday morning on social media.

“His passion for cannabis and contributions to the cannabis community are legendary,” McCormick wrote. “He was my friend, my teacher and one of the nicest people I’ve ever met in my life. Please light one up and smoke one for the Skunkman because some of his work is most likely in the cannabis you’re burning today.”
