Who
We Are And What
We Offer...
A
Natural Health Alternative...
The concept of using Cannabis
Sativa for
healthy nutritional purposes will be a new one for a large
number of those reading this material. Although legal now
in Canada for over 7 years, Cannabis
Sativa in any form for human consumption
has only been clearly legal under U.S. Federal Law since the
Fall of 2004.
Given that the only information provided
to the public with respect to Cannabis for the past seventy
years has been negative rather than health related, we wish
to take some time to fully explain the concept to you.
A summary introduction is presented
on these pages. For indepth information we urge to call
(902) 865-6761 or email.
We are fully up on this body of knowledge and love to share!

On this page, we will discuss the Canadian
Producer of the Med Marijuana™
product line, the company history, the research & development
that went into the products, the actual products themselves
and the status of products presently in the development pipeline.

Product History & Development
The cultivation, processing and internal
use of Cannabis had been prohibited in Canada from 1923 to
1998 with the exception of doing so under federal permit for
reseach purposes. The Canadian public had lobbied for years
to have low-THC Cannabis
generally legalized once again to re-instate what had once
been a thriving industry.
In 1998 the Canadian Federal Government
introduced regulations allowing for the cultivation, processing
and distribution of low-THC
Cannabis. The laws were modified with the
rationale that industrial products would be produced from
the many square miles of prairies in the western provinces
that were expected to be put into agricultural production
through this legislation. It was expected that once again,
Canada would produce fiber for rope, clothing and textiles-
that the oil squeezed from the seeds as a by-product of the
fiber crop would be utilized for paint thinners, lacquers,
cosmetics and other varied industrial applications..
With the breaking news of this legislation
came a ray of insight for the founders of MED
MARIJUANA™. They had studied the healthy
benefits of the Cannabis
Sativa L. plant for many years and had
hoped that at some point in their lives that they would have
the opportunity to present those benefits to the public, legally,
as a Natural Health Alternative.
Research into approved seed strains
which would qualify for legal status while concurrently providing
the sought after healthy properties, was undertaken. Most
approved strains were for those purposes previously mentioned-
production of various types of fiber and industrial oils but
a few, research had shown, would provide the sought after
health properties. Their seed was selected.
Growth environment is critical to maximize
the health potential of Cannabis
Sativa oils. The crop must be planted in an
area with the correct soil structure, climate and season length.
It was determined that the finest agricultural land in Canada,
in the Province of Ontario, was ideal for these purposes.
This is where MED MARIJUANA™
is grown. Interestingly, less than 5% of the legal Cannabis
crops grown in the country are planted in this Province due
to the high costs associated with the utilization of the finest
agricultural land Canada has to offer. The bulk of domestic
Cannabis is produced on huge tracts of the prairie Provinces,
amidst the canola and wheat that is sown in such abundance
there.
Seed cultivars and cultivation area
determined, the founders moved on to research and develop
optimum processing and delivery system technique. Preliminary
testing results of selected oils were up to initial expectations
and in 2001 the first SoftGel
products were ready for shipment from a crop harvested that
September.
The success of the SoftGel
product was so overwhelming that research into other health
related Cannabis products was immediately carried forward
leading to a 2003 market introduction of MEDI-PAWS™
for total veterinary nutitional health. Research was ongoing
into a Cannabis weight gain product for those suffering wasting
diseases, an epidermal application for troublesome skin conditions
and an equine product. Those products are now undergoing final
testing and will be sequentially launched during 2005 and
2006.
MED MARIJUANA™

to assist so many. The company is committed to ongoing research
efforts to bring the finest Cannabis
Health Products possible to the public as
