It is important that science measures quality and purity.
Equally important, The Vancouver Cannabis Initiative recognizes that the empirical knowledge and expertise of farmers and practitioners over the centuries, and in this brave new world of Cannabis, is vital to the continued use of marijuana as an authentic medicinal; whose healing powers we have only begun to scientifically explore.
