Ultra Health, a local medical cannabis dispensary along with various cannabis manufacturers, presented a donation in support of The University of New Mexico’s Medical Cannabis Research Fund (MCRF) that will enable additional Veterans to enroll in a study involving post traumatic brain syndrome.
The dispensary, Ultra Health, recently conducted the fundraising drive to solicit donations for UNM’s MCRF. Ultra Health created 10 gift baskets filled with various medical cannabis products from manufacturers including Aromaland, Bhang, Mountain Top Extracts, Panaxia, Seebinger Hemp and Ultra Health. The gift baskets, valued at $300 each, were presented to different raffle ticket winners from various Ultra Health dispensary locations across New Mexico. Overall, $2,000 was raised for the MCRF, which will allow researchers to double a current study involving Veterans and PTSD.

“We’re trying to support cannabis research because this is a miracle drug. It helps in so many ways,” said Susan Billy, director of operations for Ultra Health. “We may not be able to cure patients, but we’re definitely going to improve their quality of life."
