GRASS ROOTS: MEDICAL MARIJUANA (PT.2)
In 2013, the federal government introduced stricter regulations and established a framework for companies to apply for licences to cultivate medical cannabis. It was during this time that ABIDE was incorporated, and we were granted one of the first 20 Health Canada “letters to build.”
Although we faced challenges including setbacks and denials when applying for a new location, these moments prompted us to reflect on our mission. We recognized that medical cannabis is more than just THC. It’s true therapeutic potential lies in the synergy of the whole plant: major and minor cannabinoids, including THC and CBD, working together with terpenes to create a full-spectrum benefit.
This understanding inspired us to explore full-spectrum products more deeply, a direction that became instrumental in shaping our future. It guided the launch of our first ABIDE product, an outdoor-grown, balanced blend of THC and CBD crafted to deliver the holistic benefits of the entire plant.
