Our Mission: A Vision for a New Pharmacopeia

A Vision for a New Pharmacopeia

Throughout human history, plants have not only served as sources of basic nutrients but have also been utilised for their medicinal properties, helping to treat, prevent, and alleviate symptoms of numerous common diseases and ailments. As science has progressed, our ability to identify and harness the active compounds responsible for these benefits has transformed plant-based medicine into a multi-billion dollar industry.

However, many of these potent compounds and the plants that produce them have been restricted or made illegal due to their potency and psychotropic effects. Cannabis Sativa is perhaps the most well-known of these restricted plants. The unfortunate consequence of its prohibition was the exclusion of a wide range of highly beneficial compounds from human consumption, simply because of their association with the psychoactive THC.

Among the many cannabinoids present in Cannabis, cannabidiol, or CBD, has garnered significant interest from both the pharmaceutical industry and health professionals. With the legalisation of Cannabis and its derivatives in many countries and U.S. states, we are now able to re-explore its potential and reap the benefits it offers for human health and nutrition.

 

Why Dr. Watson got into CBD & Hemp

Dr. Watson Cannabis was founded by a team of passionate individuals who truly believe in the power of cannabis to improve the quality of life for people from all walks of life. Our mission is to harness the full potential of this remarkable plant to enhance general wellness and everyday living.

Cannabis Sativa L. is the parent plant of both marijuana and hemp. While marijuana contains higher levels of THC, known for its recreational use, hemp is a variant of the plant that contains less than 0.3% THC. This low THC content makes hemp non-psychoactive, yet it is still a rich source of CBD—a cannabinoid with profound benefits for human health.

Though hemp has been used for thousands of years, it has often been overshadowed by the stigma associated with its psychoactive cousin, marijuana. We are dispelling this stigma and showcasing the incredible versatility and potential of hemp. Our products are a testament to the safe, effective, and beneficial properties of CBD and other cannabinoids, offering a natural way to support well-being without the "high."
