The Vijaya Organic Research Center (VORC) is a dedicated institution focused on advancing research, innovation, and advocacy in the field of cannabis and hemp. With a team of experts led by renowned cannabis specialist Joseph R. Pietri, VORC is at the forefront of scientific studies, policy lobbying, and product development in the cannabis industry.

Mission and Objectives

VORC’s mission is to promote sustainable, science-backed cannabis cultivation and utilization while advocating for progressive policies that recognize the medicinal, industrial, and economic potential of cannabis. The organization is actively involved in:

Scientific Research: Conducting studies on cannabis genetics, organic cultivation methods, and its medicinal properties.

Policy Advocacy: Lobbying for cannabis and hemp legalization, particularly in Nepal and other emerging markets.

Product Development: Innovating high-quality, organic cannabis-based products for health, wellness, and industrial applications.

Farmer Empowerment: Training local farmers in sustainable cannabis and hemp farming techniques to enhance their livelihoods.

Why Nepal?

Nepal holds a rich historical and cultural connection to cannabis, known locally as “Vijaya”, a plant revered in Ayurveda and spiritual traditions. VORC sees Nepal as a potential global leader in organic cannabis and hemp production, given its ideal climate, indigenous strains, and deep-rooted traditions. The center is working closely with government bodies, NGOs, and private enterprises to create a legal framework that benefits the economy, environment, and local communities.

Collaborations and Future Goals

VORC is forming partnerships with international research institutions, pharmaceutical companies, and advocacy groups to push for evidence-based cannabis policies. A key initiative includes working with VORFA (Vijaya Organic Research Farmers Association) and VORDA (Vijaya Organic Research Development Association) to lobby Nepal’s Health Ministry for full-spectrum cannabis legalization.

With its commitment to scientific excellence, sustainable agriculture, and policy change, VORC is set to play a pivotal role in shaping the future of the global cannabis industry.
