United Patients Group Launches Medical Cannabis Consultancy for Businesses and Other Organizations

San Francisco, CA (PRWEB) September 01, 2015

United Patients Group, the leading medical cannabis information and education website, officially announces the expansion of their consultation services to now include entrepreneurs, domestic and foreign government officials, healthcare professionals and others seeking in-depth knowledge and insight to help effectively navigate the complex and ever-evolving medical cannabis industry.

"The United States is leading the world in building an infrastructure around the medical cannabis industry as legalization here and abroad continues to grow," commented John Malanca, founder of United Patients Group. "However, it is still incredibly murky and we've found that the work we've been doing over the past five years in this particular space has given us a tremendous depth of information, resources, and 'boots on the ground' knowledge that is of value to others."

United Patients Group consultancy services provides clients with the information and strategic guidance they require to solve problems and helps them locate reliable and reputable resources and suppliers.

A recent example includes United in Compassion New Zealand, a non-profit organization that looked to UPG to bring together experts in the medical cannabis space to better inform the Ministry of Health and other healthcare officials in a historic policy briefing that took place there last month. Further, United Patients Group's services assisted the government policymakers who were interested in learning more about the various aspects of medical cannabis so that they were better equipped to draft laws and policies regarding cannabis in their jurisdictions. UPG consulting is already accomplishing this with US governments, advocacy groups and other healthcare institutions.

It will also serve entrepreneurs working to develop and bring new cannabis-based medications to market. "It's not enough to buy a plot of land, put down your $5000 application fee and start growing medical-grade cannabis. There are a tremendous amount of variables that people just don't consider. That's where we come in," said Malanca.

The service is similar to United Patients Group's Patient and Caregiver Consultancy, which provides one-on-one guidance, support, and referrals to those who are using cannabis to treat serious medical conditions. Interest in medical cannabis continues to experience tremendous growth with the addition of more and more states, now totaling 23 plus the District of Columbia, legalizing cannabis use.

"In addition to our Caregiver Consultancy, we spend a great deal of our time assisting business-people, doctors, and policymakers who call us desperately seeking reliable advice and resources," commented Malanca. "The need is great, and our consultancy provides a valuable service."
