Medical Marijuana
American Cannabis Company Inc was founded by Corey Hollister and Ellis Smith who formerly owned a company by the name of, The Village Green Society in Boulder Colorado. The two were among the first people to cultivate medical marijuana on a commercial scale using a technique known as True Living Organics. Through this technique they produced pharmaceutical grade cannabis products for the patient market in the state of Colorado. American Cannabis Company Inc is made up of two vertically combined businesses, American Cannabis Consulting and The Trade Winds Inc. The two companies provide a solution for their customers and clients and it is this that has gained the company national recognition. This company provides the industry with specific advice and offers consulting services. The company also manufactures products and provides them to clients. The company is accessing new growth opportunities and one unique thing about it is that it procurers licenses for its clients in several states which its services are offered.
When we examine American cannabis company inc from an operations point of view, we are interested in the general overseeing, designing, controlling the process of production and the overall running of the business. A good operation management plan ensures the company is effective in terms of the production process, manufacturing and the supply of goods and services to the targeted population. The main service offered by American Cannabis Company Inc is to provide industry specific advisory services and operations products for those willing to venture into commercial cultivation of marijuana. To make these services effective, ACC has come up with business plan designed to help people with the aim of pursuing cultivation operation, medicinal or recreational dispensary and the manufacture of the infused products. They select the site, design it and develop operations practices for deployment of products. Additionally, the company has a team of experts who help their clients obtain licenses for their business operations. It is also the duty of ACC to ensure the company it helps obtains a license remains compliant in the process of its growth. Compliant in terms of safety standards, security plan and a program for training staff members. To ensure this the company has designed an auditing plan. They carry out compliance audits for the companies whom they offer consulting services.
Medical marijuana has been legalized in 23 out of 52 states in the United States for qualifying patients under state law. The use of medical marijuana though remains illegal under federal law. Even though these laws exist, their operations are interrupted by frequent arrest and interference from federal law enforcement. This prohibition has frustrated research within the United States to uncover and provide the best and effective use for marijuana as a medicine. Medical marijuana is known for the relief of pain and nausea, spasticity, movement disorders and glaucoma. Research has also revealed that marijuana can protect the body from malignant tumors For this research, the questions I would expect to answer are: Is the use of medical marijuana beneficial and if yes up to what extent? Is the use of medical marijuana associated with side effects?
The sources I would use are American Cannabis Company Inc and NORML foundation websites which give detailed information of marijuana laws in each state. This topic interests me because of the potential it creates. If legalized in the 52 states medical marijuana would be great source for employment creation and generation of revenue. It would boost levels of income especially for the youth who are underpaid.
In conclusion, the legalization of marijuana is a major milestone in the medical sector. Its contributions cannot be underrated.
