Parke Davis Bottle Upjohn Bottle


PARKE DAVIS 1894 PRICE AND PRODUCT CATALOG

It would be next to impossible to list all Medical Cannabis activities that originated in Michigan.   And with such heavy hitters as Nelson baker, Frederick Stearns, as well as UpJohn, the task truly would be impossible.   Thus it may be best to limit ourselves to solely one company and solely to one catalog year within that company.   All of the following below were all taken from the 1894 “Descriptive Catalogue of the Laboratory Products of PARKE DAVIS & COMPANY (1894)” price and product catalog.   Which shows just how many medical uses Medical Cannabis was being put to use for before the coming of the Reefer Madness Era.

WARNING:   Remember the year here is 1894, thus NO-WAY should anyone use this as a form of medical advised - - - not stuff coming from the year 1894 anyway.   However, with that said it should be noted just how many medical uses Medical Cannabis was being put to use for back then.
