New York, NY, April 23, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- via NEWMEDIAWIRE -- Tauriga Sciences, Inc. (OTCQB: TAUG) (“Tauriga” or the “Company”), a revenue generating Company that operates through the development, distribution, and licensing of proprietary products as well as the evaluation of potential acquisition opportunities and equity investments, today announced that it has obtained a Legal Analysis/Confirmation Letter (the “Analysis Letter”) from a preeminent CBD Sector (the “Sector”) law firm (the “Law Firm”). The Analysis Letter confirms that Tauriga’s overall business model as well as the specific formulation of Tauri-Gum™, is adherent to the prevailing U.S. federal rules & regulations that govern the Sector. Most recently, the U.S. Federal Government updated its position on Hemp cultivation and utilization within the “2018 Farm Bill” also known as “Agriculture Improvement Act of 2018,” signed into law by President Donald J. Trump on December 20, 2018.
To protect the interests of its shareholders as well as the integrity of its CBD Infused chewing gum product line (“Tauri-Gum™”), the Company initiated the process of obtaining this Analysis Letter, during early-mid January 2019. The Company retained a preeminent CBD sector law firm to insure the highest quality legal work and analysis of the complex and fluid U.S. legal landscape.
Tauriga’s Legal Analysis Letter is Dated: March 24, 2019
Please See Below Excerpt (Paragraph # 2, Page # 13, of Legal Analysis Letter):
“Notwithstanding the above-referenced ambiguities, given the analysis above of both 2018 Farm Bill and 2014 Farm Bill . . . Thus, to the extent Tauriga uses Hemp, or derivatives therefrom, cultivated in accordance with such a Regulatory scheme . . . Tauriga’s business plan and business model appears entitled to the protections afforded under the 2018 Farm Bill, the 2014 Farm Bill, the Spending Bill, and as confirmed by the Amicus Brief.”
The Company has previously stated its belief that its Tauri-Gum™ product line may represent a high quality/low risk opportunity for potential customers to enter the CBD space. Additionally, Tauriga has committed to its shareholders, that at all times, it will remain in compliance with both U.S. Federal and individual State rules and regulations (“statutes”) that govern the CBD sector.
