Cannacraft understands that true greatness walks a fine line between harm and healing, myth and medicine
At the heart of this balance lies Vijaya, the classical Ayurvedic name for cannabis, revered in ancient Indian texts like the Charaka Samhita and Sushruta Samhita for its therapeutic potential. For over 3,000 years, Vijaya has played a role in India's traditional health systems. Cannacraft brings it back into the spotlight with legality, authenticity, and respect for its cultural roots.
As the flagship initiative of Greencraft Bioscience LLP, Cannacraft Rx and Health Dispensary in Surat stands as Gujarat's first Ayurvedic dispensary dedicated solely to cannabis leaf-based medicines. Every formulation is prescribed by certified BAMS doctors and follows Schedule E(1) protocols under the NDPS Act exemption for cannabis leaves and the Bombay Prohibition Act.
To take this mission beyond clinical walls, Cannacraft introduced Beyond Hemp Functional Café, a first-of-its-kind FSSAI-compliant space in Surat. Focused on hemp seed nutrition and industrial hemp education, the café offers immersive experiences built on taste, curiosity, and learning. QR-coded educational displays help visitors explore the science, history, and nutritional value of hemp in an open and stigma-free setting.
Consultations and guidance are provided with medical discretion, ensuring each individual's journey is rooted in trust and personalized care. There is no trend-chasing, only a return to balance by blending ancient Ayurvedic healing with modern wellness sensibilities.
By linking revered texts such as Bhavaprakasha Nighantu and Sharangdhar Samhita to contemporary therapeutic relevance, Cannacraft positions Vijaya as a time-tested botanical with enduring value rather than controversy.
Gujarat is now ready for a unique healing movement in Surat with the Cannacraft dispensary and the Beyond Hemp Functional Café leading the way. With expansion through franchising, digital infrastructure, and public education, Cannacraft is shaping a future where Ayurvedic cannabis is respected, understood, and responsibly accessed.

Managing BP, vax, monitoring key to better diabetes care: Experts
Nagpur: From testing 10 lakh diabetic patients for high blood pressure to using real-time glucose monitoring machines, building rural diabetes care systems, and vaccinating adults, top medical experts laid out a people-centric roadmap for better diabetes care across the country. Speaking at the ongoing 12th Hello Diabetes Academia (HDA) in Nagpur, national faculty members shared actionable ideas that blend public health outreach with cutting-edge technology. Dr Anuj Maheshwari, president-elect of RSSDI and president of Asia Pacific Hypertension Society, said the RSSDI (Research Society for the Study of Diabetes in India) launched a national project from May 30 to test blood pressure in 10 lakh diabetic patients. "High BP and diabetes go hand in hand. But we need solid Indian data to understand the link between the two," Dr Maheshwari said. He also unveiled a three-year rural diabetes care project. In the first year, RSSDI teams will visit 1,000 villages across India (with populations up to 3,000), conduct house-to-house blood sugar testing, and identify diabetic patients. "Diabetes is not just an urban disease. In fact, the difference between rural and urban rates is now just 1%. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like American Investor Warren Buffett Recommends: 5 Books For Turning Your Life Around Blinkist: Warren Buffett's Reading List Undo But in rural India, the real danger is people don't even accept they have diabetes," he said. In year two, patients will receive glucometers and BP machines, along with guidance on how to manage their condition. In year three, they will be checked for diabetes-related complications. Dr Amit Gupta, senior faculty from IDF School of Diabetes, highlighted the growing use of continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) devices. "With CGM, you prick only once, and then your sugar levels are tracked in real-time for up to three weeks. It's very useful to effectively adjust insulin doses," he said. He added that CGM is particularly helpful for those whose sugar levels fluctuate widely. Though currently expensive, he believes prices will drop as usage increases. Dr Jyotirmay Paul, national president, Association of Physicians of India (API), stressed the need for adult vaccination awareness, especially among senior citizens. He shared that API prepared an adult vaccination schedule, similar to the one for children, and plans to submit it to the central govt, demanding its inclusion in public health programmes.

Chief Minister to inaugurate upgraded Government Pentland Hospital in Vellore later this month
Chief Minister M.K. Stalin will inaugurate the upgraded British-era Government Pentland Hospital in Vellore on June 25. The Public Works Department (PWD) is renovating the facility into a multi super-specialty hospital. PWD officials said the century-old facility had been upgraded into a seven-storey complex to meet the growing healthcare needs of residents within the Vellore Corporation limits. Principal Secretary to the Health and Family Welfare Department P. Senthil Kumar inspected the upgraded hospital in the presence of Collector V.R. Subbulaxmi on Saturday. 'The upgraded hospital has advanced equipment, especially for treating children and the elderly. Besides residents of Vellore town, people in neighbouring villages will benefit from the upgraded facility,' S. Padavettan, Assistant Engineer, PWD (Vellore), told The Hindu. Spread over 25, 779 the multi super-specialty hospital has been built at a cost of ₹150 crore. More than one dozen dilapidated buildings in the hospital complex were demolished to construct the new facility for which work was started in 2023. The new facility has at least 568 beds for in-patients. The existing hospital is run in an old building with 125 beds. The upgraded hospital has at least ten super specialties, including cardiology, neurology, nephrology, and obstetrics and gynaecology. It also has 10 surgical theatres with separate departments for plastic surgery. Separate wards for emergency and accident-related cases, cancer treatment, sedation, and x-ray rooms will also form part of the new facility. Hospital authorities said the Government Pentland Hospital was started as a clinic in 1882 before being upgraded in 1915. It was inaugurated by the then Governor of Madras Pentland. During its heyday, the hospital served a large number of people in the region including those from tribal communities, traders, and British officers and Indian soldiers who were stationed at the Vellore Fort. Over the years, the hospital was functioned as a taluk-level hospital after the Government Medical College Hospital was established on the outskirts of the town in 2005.
