"Hi, today I’d like to you a little bit about what’s called vertical integration. It sounds like a big word, it is . But, here in massachusetts one of the features of the law about medical marijuana is this concept of vertical integration. And basically what this means is that the people who are running each of the independent registered medical marijuana dispensaries is responsible for their products from beginning to end. So, they plant the marijuana, they grow the marijuana, they cure it, and then they sell it. And in addition, if there are derivative products like hashes and oils or edibles or other what they're calling “MIPS”, Marijuana infused products, all of those things are done by the same company. so its seed to patient. Now, i think that’s kind of important, and here’s why. it comes down to quality control. The whole goal here is getting you the right medicine, and medicine you can trust to make you better, as well as not to make you sick. When one company is responsible for the process from beginning to end, they have their entire reputation on the line at each step of the process and I think that means a lot of me as your physician and it should mean a lot to you as the patient."
