Time-Release Capsules Make Medical Marijuana More Approachable

Colorado-based Wana Brands got its start making edible marijuana products. When using pot became more and more socially acceptable across the US, the company recognized that there was a large percentage of the population that would be interested in trying the drug, but not smoking it. The company's edibles make marijuana less intimidating for non-smokers and appeal to a wider range of customers. Medical Marijuana 
With medical marijuana gaining legalization in several states across the US, Wana Brands looked to create a new product that would similarly make medical marijuana use more approachable for those who had little or no exposure to the drug. To fill that gap, = the company has developed an extended release pill that delivers doses of the drug to a patient's system over the course of 12 hours. Each capsule contains two measured doses; one that takes effect soon after ingestion and another that activates several hours later. Making Pot More Medical The capsules, Wana owner John Whitman says, are a good way for the medical marijuana industry to change its image and be considered as a serious treatment option. Many people are skeptical about marijuana use for treating diseases because most of the delivery methods appear recreational. Eating a pot brownie to cope with muscle spasms or smoking a joint to deal with anxiety can make potential patients skeptical about the drug's benefits. However, time release capsules make marijuana treatments more comparable to being prescribed a traditional medicine. Many believe that products like this one and could help propel the medical marijuana market into more states.
