It shocks me how concerned society is today about pesticides and additives in the foods we eat, but how little we care about the additives in pharmaceutical drugs. Colorado is known among other states as a state with plenty of organic and natural stores, farmer’s markets and options for those who want to eliminate additives from their diet. While many are turning to natural vitamins and herbs to boost metabolism and ensure their bodies receive ample nutrients, we are still ignoring the amount of processed drugs we consume for pain.

Instead of manipulating the symptoms of your illness, medical marijuana can completely get rid of the pain of a dulling sickness like cancer, AIDS or other chronic diseases. Medical marijuana is an all-natural medicine, free of additives, colors and preservatives. For those who find themselves at the local natural food store, peering down the drug aisle at

As states continue to decriminalize the use of marijuana, and medical marijuana becomes a more and more prominent alternative to traditional medication, the MMJ industry in the U.S. continues to grow at rapid rates.  As in other, more mainstream industries, MMJ businesses are turning to the internet and creating e-commerce websites, using social media, online advertising and other online assets to generate new leads by engaging and attracting new medical marijuana patients and pot users online customers.

Benefits of Medical Marijuana to the Colorado Economy Since it’s also legal for Colorado residents to grown the Medical marijuana, legalization of the drug has brought plenty of economical benefits to Colorado residents. With hundreds of medical marijuana stores, jobs have been created that would have either not existed, or been illegal in prior years (in the case that those same people sold marijuana illegally). On top of job openings for those qualified or licensed to sell medical marijuana, jobs were also created for residents who grow the herb to sell to the dealers.
