INVESTMENT OPPORTUNITY HIGHLIGHTS
| 1) | Based on the preclinical trial results, the Company believes that Mentanine® has several advantages compared to other CBD products. For example, the Mentanine® formula, manufacturing process and drug delivery significantly increases the efficacy of the CBD, thus requiring a lower amount of CBD for medication purposes, eliminating negative side effects associated with high CBD consumption. |
| 2) | The synergistic effect of the formula, which allows the drug to cross the Blood Brain Barrier, will provide the opportunity for Mentanine® to treat numerous mental health issues. It can also be used as a direct alternative to THC products. |
| 3) | In June 2018, Epidiolex was approved by the US FDA as the only CBD product approved by the FDA. As a result, GW Pharma generated in excess of $290 Million in revenue. |
| 4) | Under the Pharmaceutical regulatory pathway (pursued by GW Pharma), CanaQuest is focusing on obtaining approval for two scientifically developed products to deal with mental health while eliminating significant negative sides effects as compared to other CBD and THC products on the market today. Mentanine®Rx - CBD based formulation, and Mentabinol® Rx – THC based formulation. Based on pre-clinical trials results CanaQuest products have a clear path for obtaining regulatory approvals. |
| 5) | ADC Biomedical (CanaQuest’s subsidiary) will be selling medical cannabis and cannabinoid products to patients in Canada under its licence with Health Canada. Hemp-Omega (omega3 and hemp isolate) formulation will be sold to US consumers under the US Farm Bill. |
