Embracing Cannabis Patients: Why We Focus on Medical Outcomes in Everything We Do
The prospect that cannabinoids could help a variety of illnesses and ailments has always intrigued us. Every now and then, you would hear about the possibility of medical cannabis could be the answer to illnesses like epilepsy. Then states started passing laws that made medical marijuana available through hard-fought lobbying.
There’s a reason people put up such a huge fight to getting laws passed, here in Oklahoma and elsewhere. The data doesn’t lie. Medical marijuana can change lives for the better.
The potential of cannabinoids fighting a whole slew of illnesses is inspiring. That’s why we take patients over profits approach to our growing methods. We grow organically, making sure the plants are just the plants and buds, not tainted with any other chemicals, pesticides, or other items.
In the long-term, we are targeting medical cannabis strains with the highest yields of CBD (as well as THC). If you want more information on our strains, check out our growing cultivar here.
Back to what inspires us… some key videos really enforced the notion that we could help. Here is a look at five Ted Talks that formed our opinions and sharpened our focus to become Oklahoma’s leading medical marijuana grower.
Behind the Smokescreen of Medical Cannabis – Dr. Dedi Meiri
Dr. Meiri’s talk inspired us that we could be on the leading edge of genetically targeting the compounds within medical cannabis. As more research is completed, we will be at the forefront of reaching strong concentrations of those compounds to help patients. We have just scratched the surface of this research, so there’s a long way to go.
