BEFORE THE COMING OF THE ANTI-MEDICAL CANNABIS LAWS
Due to its geography, New York State played a major role in the History of Medical Cannabis. In addition to having numerous 19th Century pharmaceutical manufacturers within it borders. Due to its port, it also was a major hub for spice and medical herbal Import/Export houses, which dotted the city of New York’s warehouses.
Below is but a (very) partial listing of Drug Manufacturers/ Medical Herbal houses, which at one time were able to provide a variety of Medical Cannabis medicines. NOTE: This is only a very partial listing.
