When will the transitional period for cannabis wear o? Its evolutionary track

from pre-medical, grey market medical, state regulated medical, country wide

medical, state regulated recreational to country wide legalization suggests that

this global commodities inertia will keep it barreling down the road. Whether

delving deeper into all of the compounds found within this “molecular tree

house”, creating new efficiencies in all of the pre and post-harvest processes or

inventing better, more consumer friendly delivery mechanisms, something

new always seems to be around the corner.

Growsmith’s founder Shamol Vyas has been a part of these capricious markets

since the “good ole days” and has watched, failed, succeeded and, most

importantly, learned from this opportunity called cannabis.

It’s because of him and his teams acumen that Green Leaf Farms International

chose Growsmith to create the foundations for the first medical program in

Argentina. Horace Greely once said, “Go west young man, go west”; maybe

with a premonition of the of last three decades illicit cannabis’s proliferation on

our west coast, but it was founded on the principle of adventuring to and

fortune. If Mr. Greely was alive today and was basing adventure on regulated

cannabis’s geographical appropriateness, his phrasing would read, “Go south

young man, go way south!” So we did.
