Ieso is a U.S. medical marijuana cultivation company based in Illinois with expertise in commercial agriculture, pharmaceutical protocol, and the medical and healthcare industries. Its goal is to help doctors heal patients through its premier product, Solacine, the first American brand to ensure consistency in cannabinoid levels and dose control to accommodate a wide range of needs and conditions.

As part of its commitment to environmental conservation, Ieso cultivates medical cannabis in greenhouses, as opposed to an indoor facility. Energy experts estimate that current domestic indoor cannabis production uses $6 billion in electricity—or enough to power 2 million average homes—and results in the emission of 15 million metric tons of CO2 annually, the equivalent of the output of seven power plants. By using sunshine to cultivate medical marijuana, Ieso will reduce this by an estimated 75 percent during the summer months.

In addition to 23,000 square feet of greenhouses, Ieso's headquarters, located on 10 acres at Southern Illinois Airport in Murphysboro, includes a state-of-the-art research lab and a secure facility in which all product will be carefully processed and packaged. No medicine leaves the center without being thoroughly tested for mold and other toxins, and CBD and THC ratios are clearly labeled on each package so patients know exactly what they are putting into their bodies. All Solacine (a combination of “solar” and “medicine”) packaging takes place at the cultivation center; is carefully supervised by a licensed pharmacist; is color-coded for easy strain identification; and comes in child-resistant containers, including the vaporizer.
