More medical marijuana businesses are starting to open up in Nevada – and Thursday we got a look at one formed entirely by doctors.
Nevada Botanical Science is a cultivation and production facility meaning they'll grow the plants there, and make the products that will be sold at local dispensaries.
They held an informational breakfast today to discuss the uses of medical marijuana and explain their method of withdrawing cannabis oil from the plant.
The group is made up of local doctors and healthcare providers who believe that medical marijuana can be a huge help to their patients.
"Being a physician, it's very important for me to have other alternatives, especially for patients that, you know, where pharmaceuticals fail. And so this is great for the community, in the sense that now there is an alternative in the form of cannabis based medications,” says Dr. Robert Dalrymple, CEO, Nevada Botanical Science.
Nevada Botanical Science hopes to be up and running around the beginning of November.
Once they're officially open, they also plan to start offering classes on the uses of medical marijuana and the science behind why it works.a
