The BLUNT Truth
AN OKLAHOMA PIONEER BRINGS SCIENCE, COMPASSION AND FUN
TOGETHER IN ONE DISPENSARY  by June Lane
With a new dispensary popping
up on seemingly every corner
these days, finding the RIGHT
medical marijuana products for
your issues can be daunting. On
the other hand, if you are just
dispensary shopping for all the
deals and feels, even the state
of Oklahoma won’t be able to
wipe the grin off your face when
you enter an Urban Wellness
Dispensary.
 Lawton native, Jeffrey Flowers,
owner and proprietor of U.W.D.,
with locations in Edmond,
O.K.C., and Norman, has
managed to blend the fun side
of this industry with a much
more serious medical approach,
in order to help patients get the
most benefits from All Things
Cannabis.
The first thing you will notice
upon entering his dispensary
is how much more apothecary
it appears than head shop. It›s
light, open, well-stocked, and
you are free to roam about and
explore the nice selection of
beauty and makeup products
along with CBD infused bath
and body goodies.
Flowers started studying CBD
and THC and the amazing
cancer-fighting properties they
hold when his mother was
diagnosed with pancreatic
cancer in 2012. Thankfully,
she is doing well now but the

frustration of not being able to
help her, even with the nasty
side effects from chemo, drove
him to continue studying uses
and benefits of cannabis. He is
continuing his education with
the Medical Marijuana Institute
and recently completed the
13-hour AAFP accreditation
class for medical doctors
wanting to learn more about
cannabis for their practices.
Flowers›s commitment to
continuing education is evident
in his desire to help patients that
are seeking compassionate,
alternative medical treatments
for their issues and don›t know
where to begin. His network
of cannabis research centers
that he stays in regular contact
with include the University of
Jerusalem, which has been
researching the benefits and
uses of cannabis for decades.
Flowers and his staff at U.M.D.
are eager to reach out to new
cannabis patients that would
feel more comfortable with a
tailored ‹just for their specific
issues› approach. They have an
arrangement with D.L.O. labs
in Oklahoma City for patients
to give a baseline blood test.
The test is a c/ reactive protein
count determining the level
of inflammation in your body.
Based on your blood work along
with a medical questionnaire
with your history, they can begin
to formulate a treatment plan
for you. Flowers is committed to
keeping the cost manageable
for everyone, so the total patient
cost for the test is $37.00.
HERE›S THE COOL PART:
Armed with all with all this
knowledge, U.W.D. will custom
blend a tincture including
various terpenes, CBDs and
isolates, just for you, along with
dosage instructions. They start
with small free trial samples
so you can work with them,
«tweaking terpenes»(if I were
a singer, that would have to be
my band›s name!) until you feel
happy with your medicine. They
will retest you again in six to
eight weeks with another CPR
blood test checking for reduced
inflammation. Flowers believes
so strongly that you can be
helped with this approach, he
will refund your cost if you feel
you are not. Also, if you do not
have a medical card or do not
want any psychotropic effects,
they can customize THC free or
low dosage tinctures.
Jerry Flowers is a true
Trailblazer in these early Canna
Crazy days, and his U.W.D.
dispensaries are making a name
and a niche, as innovators
empowering anyone seeking
answers along with new medical
choices.
