For medical cannabis, purity, quality, and consistency are paramount. Our Georgia production facility is where we handle every step—from growing to packaging—using state-of-the-art equipment and processes. This meticulous approach ensures that we provide the highest quality medical cannabis available in the state.

The Cannabis Flower

The quality of a product hinges on the source material, and for cannabis, that source is the flower itself. Optimal conditions, careful cultivation, and proper handling are crucial in growing the highest quality cannabis. By prioritizing these factors, we can consistently deliver superior products that maximize the relief you seek.

Our meticulous extraction and manufacturing processes greatly impact the quality of our products. With our advanced closed loop extraction system and Thin Film Distillation, we produce exceptionally clean oil, nearly odorless and tasteless. This high level of purity enhances ease of ingestion and metabolism for patients.

Further ensuring our quality, we conduct our own rigorous testing to guarantee that all our products are free from contaminants or impurities.

Medical cannabis is backed by extensive scientific research, highlighting the diverse therapeutic potential of its cannabinoids. As one of the few U.S. cannabis companies with a schedule 1 DEA license for research, we proudly collaborate with universities and healthcare systems to advance the science of medical cannabis.

The History of Medical Cannabis

The historical use of cannabis for medicinal purposes spans thousands of years across various cultures. However, restrictions and bans arose in the 20th century due to concerns about abuse. In the 1970s, research resumed, leading to the legalization of medical cannabis in countries like the Netherlands and Canada. California was the first U.S. state to legalize it in 1996, followed by many others.

Today, medical cannabis treats a wide range of conditions, including those recognized by Georgia state law. Ongoing research suggests cannabinoids hold therapeutic potential. Despite challenges, medical cannabis enjoys increasing acceptance from patients, healthcare providers, and policymakers worldwide.
