The YAK Extract Capsules have proven to be very popular, because it gives the patient a perfectly measured dose of cannabis medication. It is a discrete way to medicate, when you're on the go or just don't feel like sweet snacks.

Each YAK edible product has specific levels of active medical cannabis flowers, depending on the patient dosage requirements.

YAK edibles is expanding its in-state distribution through dispensaries and making the YAK edible product line available to patients throughout California.

ABOUT THE "REGULATE, CONTROL AND TAX CANNABIS ACT OF 2010

YAK edibles supports the "The Regulate, Control and Tax Cannabis Act of 2010"

This California bill would control and tax cannabis in California and could generate $1.4 Billion in revenue per year in taxes. These funds could go towards jobs, public safety, healthcare, parks, roads, transportation and more. Controlling and taxing cannabis would save the state over $200 million that would have been spent on arrests, prosecutions, and prison for non-violent cannabis consumers, according to estimates by NORML (National Organization for the Reform of Marijuana Laws.) Furthermore this could generate an additional $12 -18 billion a year for California economy from spin-off industries like coffeehouses and tourism. More importantly, controlling and taxing cannabis will weaken the Mexican drug cartels, and enable police to focus on violent criminals, and replace dangerous street matter with safe, regulated cannabis sales outlets, putting street dealers and drug cartels out of business.
