The 2021 Colorado Manufacturing Awards was a highlight event for Medically Correct. The sixth annual CMA consisted of 14 categories and 40 finalists recognizing outstanding people and businesses shaping American manufacturing. Among these categories was one for the Cannabis Company of the Year, and we’re elated to say that Medically Correct took home the gold!

When Medically Correct was founded in 2010, we knew our mission went beyond creating cannabis-infused products. It was also about serving our community the best way we could through social responsibility and always considering the needs of our consumers. We achieve both by using eco-conscious ingredients and recyclable, biodegradable packaging. Our company was even one of the first in the nation to implement third-party lab testing for all cannabis edibles. 

Appealing to various demographics means understanding how we can continuously evolve our company and products to meet their expectations. With two new brands on the way later this year and the rebranding of our incredibles line, we’re ready to give an affordable and consistent experience that’s easily accessible to new and past consumers across the nation!

A Spotlight on the Finalists and Winners of the Colorado Manufacturing Awards

This year’s Colorado Manufacturing Awards were certainly not short on quality. Each category was filled with standout companies, new and old. We especially want to congratulate the two other Cannabis Manufacturer Finalists, Stratos and Nuvue Pharma. Being nominated alongside these outstanding cannabis companies just goes to show the competition is always fierce and crawling with innovation!

Check out all that Stratos and Nuvue Pharma are doing to expedite the future of the cannabis industry:

  • The team at Stratos brings decades of pharmaceutical science experience to the cannabis industry. Their expertise allows them to create pure, consistent products which are rigorously tested five different times throughout the manufacturing process. Stratos understands a great cannabis experience begins with feelings of certainty. Through their implementation of pharmaceutical industry benchmark standards, customers know they’re getting high-quality cannabis products that offer the same effects each and every time.
  • Nuvue Pharma was founded in 2015 in Pueblo, CO by Neurologist Malik M. Hasan. The company operates their own hydroponic indoor grow and extraction lab where they conduct ongoing research and development to unlock the benefits of all 545 active molecules within the cannabis plant. Nuvue Pharma is the first recreational dispensary in Pueblo and their award-winning products make them one of Colorado’s premier dispensaries. Their menu includes several of these award-winning strains, including their very own Anubis OG and Scroopy Noopers.

But we weren’t the only ones recognized for our business savvy. Below are the rest of this year’s Consumer and Industrial Group winners from the sixth annual Colorado Manufacturing Awards. A big congrats from us at Medically Correct!:

Why Does Cannabis Need Representation Outside of the Industry?

Cannabis has come a long way in the last decade alone. Thirty-five states have a medical marijuana program and eleven states legalized recreational use. We’re even seeing some states starting to slowly move towards decriminalization. 

Understanding the important space cannabis holds in modern medicine goes beyond those of us actively working within the industry. That’s because this plant was never meant for just the quote on quote ‘stoners.’ Cannabis is a healing herb that can do more than give people the munchies. 

Support for full legalization is at an all-time high (no pun intended.) The best way to show how much good cannabis can provide is by normalizing how and why people use it. There are a number of studies measuring its validity for medical purposes, and yet we still remain at an impasse when it comes to how much research can legally be done. 

Building credibility for the cannabis industry has taken time and there’s plenty of areas needing improvement. We can accomplish this by setting quality business and product standards that help ensure consumers feel safe with their cannabis experience from sale to consumption. This mindset is what we based our entire incredibles brand around. We were even nominated for the thirteenth annual Shorty Awards Brand Redesign category! Our commitment to our patients and company message should be accurately reflected in every part of our business, all the way down to the packaging.

There’s No Stopping the Direction Medically Correct is Going

It’s an honor to receive awards for our work, but our passion for cannabis goes far beyond that. Creating a diverse industry of people and ideas is a constant motivation for our own mission at Medically Correct. By making products that are safe, accessible, and innovative, we hope to continue pushing the barrier for meeting our customer’s needs.
