IL Gov. Quinn Signs Bill Allowing Medical Cannabis for Kids

After New Age Care was acquired in January of 2019, we left the dispensary that we founded and loved to continue pursuing our deep passion for the science behind cannabis therapy and compassionate care. Our heartfelt thanks and profound gratitude to our patients, staff, friends and family who helped us build nac. The experience was cathartic for us and we are forever grateful for everyone's support. nac was created in loving memory of both of our mothers, with a goal to provide compassionate, collaborative care to Illinois medical cannabis patients. In 2018 alone, we are proud that nac’s patient financial assistance program exceeded $150,000.

As we move on to the next chapter of our lives to pursue the latest technologies and patient based studies, we've traveled to Israel - the epicenter of cannabis research. From a science standpoint, it's been incredibly exciting. We had meetings in Tel Aviv where innovations in lab testing technology are taking place, we also traveled to Jerusalem to visit Hebrew University’s Multidisciplinary Center For Cannabinoid Research. There we met with top doctors and researchers who are studying the potential benefits of specific cultivars on patients in a hospital setting. We are in awe of the research that’s taking place there - some of which is partially funded, and fully supported, by the government of Israel. We were also fortunate to visit the laboratories where it all takes place - from witnessing the latest technology in cannabinoid testing to the plant’s medicinal benefits in patients being treated for various cancers, diabetes, obesity, osteoporosis, traumatic brain injury, and other conditions. This is truly a new era in patient care. Thank you again to everyone who supported us during our time at nac, we hope our paths cross again.                                                                                          Dispensary photography by James Caulfield
