Audacious
- How can bold ideas transform the industry?
– Those who are bold enough to think and act differently can transform ANY industry. Even in this highly competitive arena, there is still a sea of “sameness” as it relates to customer targeting, product design and advertising. Bold companies will veer off this highly traveled path and find a way to cultivate brand loyalty with hyper-focused targeting.
- What makes MD FARMA bold and audacious?
– When compared to the masses in the retail hemp and CBD industry, MD FARMA is disruptive because we play to our strengths. Our company was founded by two former pharma executives who place a very high premium on quality, education and a focus on licensed healthcare providers.
Collaborative
As part of our mission, education is just as important as quality.
- In a crowded market, why is it important to collaborate with like-minded businesses vs compete?
– As forecasts have shown, the hemp-derived CBD market is enormous and rapidly growing, so there is a tremendous amount of potential for companies who truly have a passion for quality and safety.
- Why is the collaboration with Radicle ACES important to MD FARMA?
– As part of our mission, education is just as important as quality. MD FARMA believes in bringing high quality products to licensed healthcare providers as well as our educational platform.

Evidence-based

– Radicle ACES is taking an important step in bridging the gap between consumers of hemp-derived CBD and the data and education that this space so desperately needs.
Transparent

– MD FARMA takes transparency incredibly serious. We 3rd party test along the entire supply chain including final reports for patients found on our QR codes on each product bottle. - How does Radicle ACES allow MD FARMA to strengthen the trust and credibility with their customers?

Purpose-driven

– Radicle ACES bolters credibility by taking a scientific approach to capturing data across a variety of patient demographics, to which, enables patients to find more trust in quality CBD products.
