Cannabis, more commonly known as marijuana, has been used for over three thousand years to treat a number of ailments. However, its usage as an herb has been highly ridiculed and abused in modern times because of its psychoactive properties. Recent discoveries and a trend of returning to homeopathic medicines have sparked a new interest in Cannabis. For this reason, many states in the US have pushed for legislation to decriminalize and legalize cannabis for medicinal use and in some places for recreation in small amounts.

Today more than half of US states have allowed the use, cultivation, and production of cannabis and cannabis products. CBD (cannabidiol) oils, gels, concentrates, and edibles are some of the products that are growing in popularity as an alternative to the traditional method of smoking buds. CBD products can also give you the medicinal benefits of Cannabis without the ‘high’. 

With these new developments came new business opportunities to cultivate, manufacture products, retail Cannabis and its related products, and provide patients with quality strains of cannabis to soothe their illnesses such as; cancer, epilepsy, depression, multiple sclerosis, and chronic pain to name a few.
