Could the future of medical marijuana be smoke-free? As the market for medicinal cannabis booms across the U.S., Neutra Corp. (OTCBB: NTRR), a provider of all-natural health solutions, is exploring the potential of vaporizers, sprays, edibles, and other smokeless delivery methods to enable marijuana users to enjoy the benefits without the potential side effect of lung damage.
“The dangers of smoking are well-known, and there is an enormous market developing for efficient, reliable smokeless delivery of medical marijuana”
While many studies have shown that smoking medicinal herb is far less dangerous than smoking cigarettes, some dangers persist. Marijuana smoke contains carcinogens, substances known to cause cancer. Marijuana smoke can also act as an irritant to lung tissue, which can lead to coughing and an increased production of mucus, preventing the lungs from clearing infectious agents and increasing the possibility of lung infections.
In addition to these health risks, smoking is prohibited in most public spaces today. Luckily, there are potential solutions to these issues for medical marijuana users.
"The dangers of smoking are well-known, and there is an enormous market developing for efficient, reliable smokeless delivery of medical marijuana," said NTRR CEO Cindy Morrissey. "Vaporizers, in particular, have seen a huge rise in popularity, but big improvements in cost, efficiency and portability remain to be developed. By developing the iPod of vaporizers—combining design with portability and ease of use—NTRR could potentially capture a huge slice of the fast-growing marijuana technology sector," she continued.
With new North American markets opening up for cannabinoid-related products and services every year, NTRR is seeking out new innovations and potential partners capable of maximizing its position in $1.7 billion U.S. medical marijuana industry. The company is dedicated to commercializing innovative, all-natural products to compete in the fast-growing medical marijuana sector alongside Cannabis Science Inc. (PINK: CBIS), Medical Marijuana Inc. (PINK: MJNA), HEMP Inc. (PINK: HEMP) and Growlife Inc. (PINK: PHOT).
