In 2016, Wilmington, North Carolina was named the #1 city in the United States for opioid abuse. This hit hard as an estimated 40% of opioid overdose deaths involved a prescription opioid. Being an involved member of the community, it became clear to Dr. Gemelli that he needed to find a way to help solve the problem. Dr. Gemelli set out to find ways to help patients without using opioids. This led him to discover the wide array of conditions that can be treated by using CBD. But he didn't stop there. Dr. Gemelli and his partners went on to research the science of CBD and teamed up with research scientists, cannabinoid experts, and manufacturers to help formulate their own products.
