GrowBLOX enters Florida Medical Marijuana Market through new subsidiary, GB Sciences

Jul 16 2014

GrowBLOX Sciences, Inc. (OTCQB: GBLX) a medical marijuana research and development company, is pleased to announce it has entered the Florida Medical Marijuana Market through its new subsidiary, GB Sciences Florida, LLC. With nearly 20 million residents, Florida is poised to be the biggest medical marijuana market outside of California. The National Cannabis Industry Association estimates medical marijuana will be a $785 million industry in Florida with multiple economic opportunities. In November, Florida voters will decide if they should allow widespread sale and use of medical cannabis by saying "yay" or "nay" on The Florida Right to Medical Marijuana Initiative, commonly known as Amendment 2. Early polls show that voters are likely to approve the ballot as all expectations are for a landslide approval. If and when Florida approves the bill, it will become the first state in the Southeast to do so.

Furthermore, GrowBLOX Sciences recognizes Florida's high standards for quality in medical marijuana cultivation as a perfect match for their GrowBLOX™ cultivation technology. GrowBLOX CEO, Craig Ellins, said, "In an effort to safeguard Florida's medical marijuana patients, Florida's legislators have crafted some of the country's most stringent quality standards when it comes to the safety and efficacy of the medical marijuana grown in their state. They want medical solutions, and that's exactly what our GrowBLOX™ does, it makes medicine."

The GrowBLOX™ cultivation chamber is uniquely designed to produce medical marijuana with consistent potency from harvest to harvest. Medical marijuana grown in our GrowBLOX™ is also completely shielded from harmful pesticides, insecticides, and other pollutants. This provides medical marijuana patients with peace of mind knowing that they are receiving the same quality and quantity of active compounds within our medicinal marijuana with each use. Mr. Ellins made this comparison, "Think of when you buy a bottle of over the counter medication. Whether you buy that medication in New York or Texas, you know that you are getting the exact same medication no matter where or when you buy it. That is the idea behind the GrowBLOX™ cultivation system. Plants grown through other grow conditions will have harvest to harvest inconsistencies. We want our customers to know that they are getting the same medicine each and every time."
