FL Medical Marijuana PATIENT and Advocate
Empowering your loved ones to pursue the safest, most naturally derived treatments to enable their health and well-being.
Natural Relief
The most consistent and pure products available means knowing exactly what you’re getting in our products. Our plants are grown in the largest cannabis greenhouse in the state of Florida with no harmful chemicals or harmful ingredients.
We provide you with the safest, most consistent ingredients, cultivated by hand and blended specifically for medical benefits. Time after time you get superior quality and the most effective natural relief available.
Industry Leading Purity
We lead the industry with 90%+ pure cannabis oil. That’s because we take refinement further than other medical cannabis companies in order to produce the most pure, unadulterated cannabis oil possible. While others extract and refine at a basic level, leaving unwanted waxes and plant-matter, we strip away all the unwanted elements. What we’re left with is beautifully refined, purified golden-hued cannabis oil, unlike any in the industry.
CONSISTENTLY BETTER
Effect-Driven Products Instead of Strains
Strain names have long been the only way to roughly communicate the general effects of cannabis varieties, however recent studies show that each individual strain’s genetics actually varies quite widely from greenhouse to greenhouse, harvest-to-harvest, and even plant-to-plant based upon the individual micro-climate.
We’ve joined a growing number of medical cannabis companies that are choosing to produce a more consistent product that doesn’t rely solely upon strains, but instead goes deeper and combines the pure THC and CBD cannabinoids and targeted terpenes into precise ratios to ensure our products deliver consistent effects and medical benefits in each and every dose, so that you’ll never have to worry.
