How would you describe your company?
Kind Medicine is a diverse group of people dedicated to providing the most powerful medical cannabis products possible. We believe this is done best by minimal processing, responsible testing and respecting the whole plant properties. Our company follows the ideals that prosperity comes from giving back to our community and environment. Kind is not just in our name, it is how we practice our business. We are believers in organically grown cannabis as daily medicine to enhance everyone’s life. That products in this industry should be fueled by love of cannabis and not just dollars.
What do you offer consumers/clients that others don’t?
Kind Medicine developers have backgrounds in science and herbal medicine. Our research has shown that single source cannabinoids combined with their original terpenes and alkaloids is the most effective way to medicate. We offer whole plant, full spectrum cannabinoid organic products. We use the top two labs in California, SC Labs and Steep Hill, to double test every batch. This ensures that our ingestibles are safe and consistent for dosing. We are free from allergens, chemicals, concentrates, CO2 extracts and preservatives. Our method of oil infusion combines traditional and innovative techniques to guarantee all terpenes and alkaloids, not just cannabinoids, are present in the final product. Unlike many other companies, our manufacturing process is done entirely in house. Starting with carefully selected organically grown cannabis, we have the ability to control quality at all levels of production. We welcome feedback and questions. Kind Medicine offers patients a loyal long term relationship with our products.
How and why did your company start up?
Nine years ago, our founder, an artist and herbalist, found that the dispensaries in her area only sold topicals with a petroleum jelly base. She wanted something more natural and created the formula for a cannabis/herbal salve. After sharing it with other patients, she had so many requests for more that a product line was started, Kind Rub. Soon after Kind Caps and Kind Drops were created. Kind Medicine became the company who provides convenient, whole plant, naturally terpene rich products to the market. The amazing feedback we receive from patients pushes us to continue expanding our company. Years later, we have collected hundreds of personal stories that inspire us to keep going. The industry has a need for this type of product. The consumers agree.
With the changing landscape of MMJ and recreational cannabis, what do you see as the biggest challenges to your progress as a company? Any advantages?
The biggest challenge will be ensuring that there is an existing medical side to marijuana use. Patients deserve the right to products properly dosed to relieve pain, suffering and to heal the body. Kind Medicine is committed to being a leader in whole plant medicine. In time, with greater understanding of cannabis through recreational use, we believe consumers will demand the healthier and more natural options available.
What are the goals and vision moving forward, for your company?
Kind Medicine is focused on expanding to new markets including recreation. We plan on continuing to be a leader in organically grown whole plant products. We believe this is beneficial to all. In five years, we see Kind Medicine being available in all legal states both for medical and recreational use.
What words of advice would you offer anyone seeking to enter the world of cannabis business?
Have patience and be flexible as the laws continue to change. It helps to love cannabis as the road can be frustrating. Those who will survive long term will be those who are proactive about compliance.
What do you hope to accomplish in the cannabis industry?
Kind Medicine wants to be an example of how to prosper and thrive in this industry, while giving back to the community, enhancing the quality of life for all.
