Cannabis Prohibition is Over as 1906 Becomes Legally Available Across the Country


Direct-to-consumer platform to provide easy online access to the brand’s innovative, fast-acting cannabis pills across the country

NEW YORK, Oct. 26, 2023 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — 1906, recognized as the most innovative cannabis brand with the best-selling cannabis pill nationwide, has unveiled its direct-to-consumer website. This platform enables consumers across the country to purchase 1906’s microdose products online, shipped directly to their doorstep. The brand’s unique 1906 Drops merge the benefits of low-dose cannabis with potent plant medicines, offering solutions tailored to enhance experiences such as energy, arousal, relaxation and focus.

“As we witness the changing tides of cannabis prohibition, it’s imperative to provide easy and legal access to quality products,” expressed Peter Barsoom, co-founder and CEO of 1906. “While the federal legalization of cannabis remains a topic of debate, we believe in granting people immediate access to safe cannabis. Our online platform ensures millions can access our products seamlessly. Just as e-commerce has transformed numerous industries, the future of cannabis lies in online accessibility—especially crucial for people who can’t access a legal dispensary. The ability to buy online could be the catalyst for many to try cannabis, and our platform guarantees a secure experience from a reliable brand. This is revolutionary for our sector.”

Through the 2018 Farm Bill, which maintains that the THC content of a product must be below 0.3% by weight, 1906’s new DTC products contain 2mg of hemp-derived Delta 9 THC. The company’s distinct cannabis products—patented, fast-acting, pharmaceutical-grade pills—harmoniously blend low doses of THC, CBD, and other medicinal plants to produce functional effects suitable for daily use. As America’s leading fast-acting edible, 1906 leverages both science and nature, presenting an authentic alternative to traditional pharmaceuticals, empowering users to manage their health and wellness proactively. These supplements are entirely vegan, free from calories, sugar, gluten, and allergens. The Drops are designed for a range of experiences, including:

  • GO: An energy surge without the usual coffee or energy drink side effects 
  • GENIUS: Enhancing cognitive capabilities and focus 
  • BLISS: Uplifting mood and cultivating a positive mindset
  • LOVE: Increasing feelings of intimacy and desire 
  • CHILL: Promoting relaxation and decreasing symptoms of anxiety 
  • BOOST: Delivering a pure “high” or amplifying the effects of other experiences

By purchasing online, customers will also have access to a new subscription offering, which will enable monthly deliveries of 1906 experiences at a 10% discount.

For a deeper insight into 1906’s offerings, visit 1906.shop.

ABOUT 1906
1906 is the leading cannabis brand in the country, offering the #1 fast-acting edible and the #1 cannabis pill in the market. The company creates groundbreaking, functional formulations of cannabis and plant medicines, delivering five unique experiences that promote energy, arousal, relaxation, cognitive focus and a happy mood. 1906 supports medicinal cannabis research and invests a percentage of its revenue in clinical trials and educating healthcare practitioners. The company also invests in corporate social responsibility, specifically targeting employment opportunities for those formerly incarcerated individuals who have paid the heaviest price for a century of cannabis prohibition.

Coping With Ghosting provides hope, healing, and understanding for anyone who has been ghosted. What is ghosting? Imagine sharing a connection with someone: a dating match, significant other, friend, family member, or even a business partner – but one day – they disappear out of thin air. Texts, calls, and emails go unanswered. You know this person is still alive, yet they have vanished from your life; they have “ghosted” you. Each episode is dedicated to helping people who have been affected by somebody’s disappearing act. It explores ghosting, relationships, abandonment, grief, self-care, closure, and more.

Memorial Healthcare System Facilities Earn Teaching Hospital Designation from Florida Agency


“We were able to secure these designations after only five years as a graduate medical education (GME) program, solidifying our standing as a major academic medical center,” said Dr. Saima Chaudhry, Memorial Healthcare System‘s chief academic officer. “It also makes our program more attractive to residents, fellows, and teaching faculty as we maintain our commitment to train South Florida’s next generation of physicians and specialists.”

Memorial’s GME program, which uses its hospitals for on-the-job, physician training that supplements classroom instruction, includes 15 accredited programs (11 residencies and four fellowships). Many of these areas of study are ones the State of Florida has determined will likely have a shortage of specialists in the years to come.

Statutory teaching hospital designation also potentially qualifies academic centers for additional state funding for programs.

South Florida-based Memorial Healthcare System (http://www.mhs.net) is a national leader in quality care and patient, physician, and employee satisfaction. Its commitment to deeper caring and smarter health prioritizes a person-centered approach that has delivered safe, positive outcomes for 70 years.

Featuring multi-disciplinary collaboration, research, innovation, and transparency within its many facilities, Memorial is focused on removing barriers, increasing access, and providing equitable care throughout the region. It employs a staff of more than 16,000 and operates six hospitals, numerous primary, urgent, and 24/7 care facilities, medical office buildings, a health specialty center, and nursing home.

$9M Investment in Blockchain-backed Healthcare Data Company, Rymedi


Rymedi, a blockchain-backed healthcare data transfer and workflow automation platform that is announcing they’ve secured an investment of $9M with Whitestar Capital, RW3 Ventures, and other angel investors. I thought you might be interested to know more about this. With patent-pending blockchain technology, Rymedi is quickly expanding to help shape the future of healthcare data infrastructures for better patient care on a global scale. The platform meets healthcare compliance standards worldwide, and its level of interoperability and ability to securely are unmatched. They are already serving over 1 million patients in over 1,200 locations across the US, Africa, and Australia and are rapidly increasing their reach with this investment.

GREENVILLE, S.C. , Oct. 26, 2023 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — Rymedi, a healthcare data exchange platform with advanced blockchain security, has announced a Series A totaling $9 million with plans to expand the reach of their platform.

The round was co-led by RW3 Ventures and White Star Capital with participation from Blockchange Ventures, Avalanche’s Blizzard Fund, and strategic angel investors from the healthcare industry. Rymedi, which serves over 1 million patients in over 1,200 locations across the US, Africa, and Australia, will use the financing to increase data security and healthcare record accessibility for patients while reducing data entry errors and costs for healthcare data infrastructures on a global scale.

“We are always searching for great teams that are using blockchain technology to solve real-world problems with the potential to address global markets,” said Pete Najarian, Managing Partner of RW3 Ventures. “The Rymedi team and product suite fit that thesis perfectly, and we are delighted to be on this journey with them. While healthcare data management has remained inefficient and expensive, we believe Rymedi’s blockchain-based solution is having a meaningful impact on cost, connectivity, security, and user experience.”

The Rymedi platform, which currently supports Clemson University and many other large organizations throughout the world, removes the friction of a manual, paper filled operation to quickly connect with customers and patients and scale lab processes with higher testing throughput and lower total cost of ownership.

“Our decentralized data platform is diminishing roadblocks that healthcare systems have faced for far too long,” said David Stefanich, CEO and Founder of Rymedi. “Data entry errors and healthcare compliance issues slow the development of life-saving research, patient care, and occupational health processes. We are improving the overall healthcare experience with this technology and are proud to make a larger global impact as we scale our services with this round of funding.”

In the areas of occupational health, clinical trials, and laboratory information management systems, it automates data transfer with flexible interoperability, streamlines data entry with real-time results, and meets global regulatory compliance standards with unrivaled security. This is all made possible by Rymedi’s innovative blockchain-based backend, which is uniquely suited to facilitate data access across multiple parties and platforms.

“The current infrastructure for healthcare data exists across multiple disparate systems like EHRs and LIMs and has resulted in massive and inefficient data silos. For healthcare companies, this portends both higher costs and lost revenue, and for consumers, a suboptimal care experience,” said Sep Alavi, General Partner of White Star Capital. “Couple this with increasing demands from consumers for value-based care, and you can start to visualize the scale of the opportunity for disruption. Rymedi’s innovative solution serves as the connectivity layer between all of these silos and is consistent with our thesis that the design space for programmable & decentralized blockchain backends is massive.”

ABOUT RYMEDI

Founded in 2018, Rymedi is revolutionizing data transfer and security on a global scale. The Rymedi blockchain platform meets multijurisdictional compliance so that data is securely transferred while meeting healthcare compliance standards worldwide. With over 1 million lives on the platform in over 1,200 locations in the US, Africa, and Australia, it is utilized for occupational health, laboratories, diagnostic devices, and clinical trials. The ease and efficiency of this robust platform increases revenue and efficiency and reduces cost for various healthcare infrastructures while protecting vital healthcare information with unmatched security.
