Alibi Cannabis
Marianne Cursetjee
As a cancer survivor inspired by how cannabis improved her health while undergoing chemotherapy and radiation, Marianne bought property in Oregon and started a cannabis farm. Alibi grows craft cannabis rooted in quality. Always hand crafted and hand trimmed. Alibi is grown with decades of passion, experience and attention to detail while producing unique strains and amazing products.
Alibi celebrates true excellence with art, science and a bit of magic. Imagine sometimes life’s stresses wrap you up like a cocoon. A little Alibi and you can be somewhere else, somewhere beautiful, somewhere you can burst free and be the best version of you.
Inspired by West Coast cannabis culture, we are now expanding across the United States. Whatever adventure you are up to, when you need an Alibi, look no further!

What Our Members Say
CIAO provided us greater opportunities to have a voice with regulatory authorities that oversee our industry. We have seen progressive and positive change year over year since joining.
The CIAO has helped connect me with other businesses and license types and allowed me to give input on specific legislation to improve our day to day business
Our membership with CIAO is critical for connecting with industry peers and staying on top of ever-changing laws and regulations. Just as important, as a small independent operator, CIAO has given us a platform for our voice to be heard.
The Cannabis Industry Alliance of Oregon (CIAO) is the driving force for operators in the state’s cannabis industry. Their leadership is exceptional, consistently keeping the organization active and focused on real improvements through lobbying and rule-making processes. In my experience, CIAO is the most engaged and impactful cannabis professional organization I’ve encountered, demonstrating a strong commitment to advancing the industry in Oregon
The cannabis industry has experienced increasingly choppy waters over the last few years. Having a determined and steady hand at the helm to keep the ship sailing in the right direction is essential. CIAO is that steady hand. Without CIAO we would all still be suffering the negative impacts of Aspergillus testing requirements, lower consumer purchase limits, painfully redundant processing and packaging rules, and most likely, increased retail sales taxes. All of which have negative financial impacts on every licensee. Luckily, CAIO is here to keep us collectively engaged in constructive progress. If you’re not a member, you’re not really in the game, you’re just sitting in the sidelines. Get in the game!
