A Carlisle-based medical cannabis organization said Monday it has received full approval from the Pennsylvania Department of Health to commence operations at its cultivation, production, and research facility. In a press release issued Monday, the company, Organic Remedies, said it is one of the state’s first research-based medical cannabis organizations to be deemed fully operational.
Earlier this year, the company received approval from the DOH to begin operations in its greenhouse, located at the same address. Organic Remedies said it began cultivating medical cannabis immediately thereafter, and now that the remaining portion of the facility has received operational approval, production is in full swing.
The company said Monday it is harvesting its first crop and processing has begun.
“Now that our cultivation and research facility is fully operational, we can start cultivating therapeutic cannabis strains and also conducting genetic research and development to identify strains and cannabinoids that promote positive health outcomes for individuals," said Organic Remedies CEO Mark Toigo. "Our new state-of-the-art processing laboratory will allow us to truly advance the scientific knowledge base of cannabis. It’s an exciting time."
