Our Services
About Armintia
Armintia is a federally certified company specializing in cannabinoid research, development, and education. At Armintia, we are acutely aware of the negative narratives surrounding the cannabinoid industry. However, with cannabis now legal in 38 states, 3 territories, and the District of Columbia, the landscape is rapidly evolving.
We are proud to hold the distinction of being the first company with federal registration, small business status, SWAM certification, and veteran-owned certification, making us your trusted partner in cannabinoid education.
In collaboration with Old Dominion University, Roanoke College, and Economic Development Virginia Beach, our mission is to conduct cutting-edge, peer-reviewed research. Through strategic consulting and educational initiatives, we provide healthcare providers, policymakers, and community leaders with the knowledge needed to make informed decisions in the cannabinoid space.
Join us in Virginia as we address industry gaps, offering expert guidance and insights to foster a more connected and knowledgeable future.
A message from our CEO
My name is LaTonya Warren, and I am the CEO and Founder of Armintia, LLC, a federally certified, SWaM-certified, and Veteran-owned cannabinoid research, development, and education company. The name Armintia honors my amazing grandmother, Armintia Watson, a dynamic woman and holistic cannabis healer whose wisdom and spirit continue to inspire this work.
At Armintia, we are committed to advancing cannabis education and opportunity. We proudly partner with Roanoke College, the first and only college in Virginia to offer a bachelor’s degree in cannabis studies, to provide the required training course for individuals preparing to work in dispensaries.
I hold a Master’s degree in Chemistry and currently serve as Lab Director at Green Alliance Labs, a state-accredited cannabis testing facility. I am also honored to serve on the Cannabis Advisory Taskforce Board, appointed by Mayor Dyer of Virginia Beach, and as Research and Education Chair for the Cannabis Small Business Association (CSBA).
This work is deeply personal to me, blending science, advocacy, and education to create pathways for others in an industry that is still growing and defining itself, just as my grandmother once did, with compassion, knowledge, and vision.

At Armintia, our success is built not only on innovation and education, but also on strong financial stewardship. Our Director of Finance plays a vital role in ensuring that every dollar is managed with precision, transparency, and a deep sense of responsibility toward our mission.
