Medical Marijuana
Medical marijuana is a thriving niche with an eclectic customer base. One thing that many cannabis users have in common, though, is an interest in eco-conscious living. Some patients choose cannabinoids as an earth-friendly, plant-based alternative to conventional medicine. These consumers often prefer plant-based bottles and other sustainable packaging for their medical products, too.
Medical marijuana in the United States
Acceptance of medical marijuana treatments has grown exponentially in the United States in recent decades. Currently, 48 US states have laws allowing some form of medical cannabinoid use. These laws range from limited, prescription-only, topical CBD products to full recreational legalization of THC-containing edibles, distillates, and flowers.
CBD products were the first cannabinoids to gain mainstream medical approval. Now research is starting to prove the health benefits of THC products, including the mild THC cannabinoid Delta-8. Innovative products including indica and sativa hybrids have opened up further options for medical marijuana patients.
Safety first
When it comes to packaging for medical marijuana products, safety comes first. Ask yourself the following questions in order to choose the safest packaging for your marijuana products:
Is the packaging child resistant, shatter-proof, and tamper-evident?
Does the packaging meet state-mandated compliance guidelines?
Is the packaging safe for the planet?
Your job as a supplier of medical marijuana is to provide secure packaging that lets patients enjoy the healing benefits of fresh, potent cannabinoid treatments worry-free.
Since many states have specific compliance guidelines for packaging marijuana products, consult your state’s laws before choosing your packaging. You can also reach out to us at Earthwise Packaging for input on your options.
