Welcome to an emerging post-prohibition world, where cannabis is legal around the globe and consumers are using cannabis in everyday living. Hemp fibers and seeds are used for construction and food, while the compounds that are extracted from cannabis - the cannabinoids - are used as medicine. The industry is growing at a rapid pace, driven by consumer demand which has ignited an unprecedented body of research, innovation and technology. The post-prohibition society is here, ready to intensify.

Don’t believe it? Well, get ready for the Stoned Age, where past arguments against the use of the plant are no longer effective. Prohibitionists insist that cannabis use is dangerous and deadly, and pharmaceutical corporations spend a lot of money to ensure cannabis never comes to market, as it will quickly put them out of business. Yet almost every one of the 45,000 published studies does not support the arguments that cannabis is dangerous and deadly; in fact, almost all cannabis studies indicate that cannabis works very well as a medicine when it is treated as such. Here’s an idea - how about we practice evidence-based medicine and help our patient population achieve wellness in mind, body and spirit? That’s what we expect in the Stoned Age, the Era of Wellness.
