Highlights in the discussion include significant milestones achieved by the Company:
The Announcement that The Journal of Neuroscience has published the findings of Western University’s research leading to the discovery of Mentabinol®, a patented THC based formulation & L-theanine - a safer alternative, for people who are taking THC for mental ailments, long-term pain, chemotherapy side-effects or reducing anxiety or depression.
Mentabinol® could also be a viable treatment to help address and alleviate the opioid crisis.
Second Master Formulation
Mentanine®, Omega-3 + CBD, non-psychotic - crosses the Blood Brain Barrier (BBB), CBD by itself, is not effective for mental health - does not cross the Blood Brain Barrier.
Mentanine® has ~10x the efficacy of a CBD-based FDA-approved product by GW Pharma ($4B market cap)
- Looking to start clinical trials of Mentanine® as a treatment of epilepsy
- FDA-approval process expected to take 18 to 24 months
- Key difference vs other CBD products in the market - scientific formula supported by preclinical trials
- Company is looking to list on the CSE and up list in the US after a capital raise (currently on OTC Markets)
