Humans have been using plants as medicine for an estimated 60,000 years. Cannabis specifically has been used for health purposes since 2800 BC. Before the advent of modern pharmaceuticals, the only medicine available was from plants and animals. Many well-known medications were originally derived from plants, such as aspirin from willow bark and quinine from the cinchona tree. Until cannabis was effectively outlawed in 1937, it was widely prescribed by American herbalists and physicians.

Today, we are able to combine millennia of traditional wisdom with cutting-edge research to create potent plant medicine that truly works. Plus, we have the science and technology to guarantee potency, safety and efficacy.

Both then and now, humans and plants have coexisted, each relying on the other in countless ways. Plant medicine works in synergy, with a combined strength that’s greater than any individual part. In cannabis, the plant’s naturally occurring compounds – cannabinoids and terpenes – work better together than separately. This is commonly referred to as the “entourage effect.”

Plants possess many beneficial compounds. And, when carefully formulated with potent and purposeful ingredients, plant medicines deliver focused, targeted support when and where you need it most.

We use plants like lavender, ashwagandha and rhodiola rosea – along with plant-based ingredients like L-theanine and DHA – to complement full-spectrum CBD in formulas that support stress, promote sleep, relieve pain and more.

We believe in the power of plant medicine. We’ve seen the positive impact that CBD – and other botanicals – can have on a person’s quality of life. Made to work. Made for all. That’s our promise and our mission.

When we visited Lowell’s Boat Shop recently, the tour guide mentioned the nearby Powwow River and some waterfalls in Amesbury. So, our adventure last week was to find those waterfalls. They are, as advertised, right smack in the middle of Amesbury. They are not exactly the waterfalles I was expecting, but instead more like waters tumbling down a hillside. It was still an interesting walk around Amesbury and produced some interesting photos. If you go, I’d suggest parking at the Friend St public parking lot and the “falls” are just a few steps away. There’s a walking path you can follow down into town (very short distance) and follow the water’s path. If you go to Lowell’s Boat Shop, just keep going and add it to your day. Well worth the ride for each.

Free and open to the public
