few check boxes: the products have to be
grown in America, grown with organic practices,
be non-GMO and vetted by a local Rhode
Island lab,” says Morgan. “And I think the
really cool part is that we are Rhode Islanders
dealing with Rhode Islanders. We want to be
that trusted local source so people in our
community can consume with confidence.”
The colorfully labeled JASA line includes
everything from topical applications
(including creams, lotions, massage oils,
salves, sticks and sprays) to smoke and vape
products to edibles and tinctures. But where

“It depends on what you’re coming in for,
what works best for you and what goes best
with your routine. Some people smoke because
it has the fastest onset of relief while others
stir CBD honey into their morning coffee or
take a tincture right before they go to bed,”
Resnick says. “Due to FDA regulations, or lack
thereof, we can’t just come out and say that
CBD, for a matter of a fact, helps this or fixes
this. One thing we can say, though, is there are
people who come in here on a daily basis and
they use the products for things like insomnia,
anxiety, chronic pain, inflammation and more.”
Morgan and Resnick have witnessed
firsthand how their products have affected
different individuals, from an employee who
uses CBD to ease chronic pain caused by spina
bifida to friends who rely on CBD to keep their
nausea at bay and their spirits high while
struggling through chemotherapy.
While it’s clear that both Resnick and
Morgan are knowledgeable on the subject,
they are also quick to praise the efforts of the
center’s medical liaison, Dr. Albert Marano,
a board-certified neurologist who has practiced
for more than twenty-eight years. He
