Earnest Blackmon, Chief Executive Officer of United Cannabis, commented on the announcement, “We decided to establish this facility in the face of growing demand for Colorado-grown hemp products. Farmers are dedicating their resources to optimizing grows to yield high quality plants, but many do not have the expertise or equipment on-site to process the plants, and are therefore left to sell their harvest at commodity pricing.”
Blackmon went on to say, “By applying the technologies and GMP protocols we have developed through our previous medical cannabis experience, our Facility will enable them to extract the highest quality phytocannabinoids, terpenes, terpenoids, and flavonoids from their harvest. We will provide Colorado hemp farmers with the resources necessary to generate real value added, and in turn, higher margins, by creating finished products suitable for research or distribution in the State of Colorado.”
