Cannabis Science Signs Joint Venture With Smokefree Innotec Inc. to Develop High-Tech Smoke-Free Vaporized Medical Cannabis Prod
12 August 2010 - 9:03PM
Cannabis Science (OTCBB:CBIS), a pioneering U.S. biotech company
developing pharmaceutical cannabis products announced today that it
has executed a Joint Venture Agreement
with Smokefree Innotec Inc. (Pink Sheets:SFIO). The
objective of the joint venture is to develop and market several
high-tech smoke-free vaporized medical cannabis pharmaceutical
products. Under the joint venture, Smokefree Innotec,
Inc. will provide its high-tech smoke-free vapor technology
devices, and Cannabis Science will provide all the medical cannabis
extract formulations. Both parties equally share in the revenues
derived from this Joint Venture.
Dr. Robert Melamede, President & CEO of Cannabis
Science Inc., stated, "Many patients smoke medical cannabis because
it gives them rapid relief that allows them to monitor their usage.
Smokefree Innotec's technology allows the patients even
greater convenience and dosage control than smoking, without all of
the possible health and social/legal problems associated with
smoking. Cannabis Science will provide a variety of standardized
medical marijuana formulations to be used with the
Smokefree Innotec products, so that patients can self-monitor
their dosages. Of course, these products will be of even greater
value to patients who do not like to smoke since vaporizing
minimizes the irritating and harmful effects caused by direct smoke
contacting the lungs."
Thomas Schroepfer, CEO of Smokefree, stated, "We have
entered into this joint venture with Cannabis Science to utilize
their innovative knowledge of the science of cannabis and their
laboratory research expertise. These competencies coupled with our
high-tech products open the door for substantial product
distribution channels on an international level. Our initial target
markets will be the expanding number of States that have approved
medical marijuana use according the applicable federal and state
regulations. With our international distribution
of Smokefree Innnotec products already well established,
the entry into the Medical Cannabis market represents our
commitment to significantly expand and distribute the new products
across North America, while we identify and secure a market share
of rapidly growing industries such as Medical Cannabis, Military
Retail and Government service."
The managements of both companies are grateful for the expert
guidance provided by retired Lieutenant Cornel Kevin Sullivan of
Leading Points Corporation, (www.leadingpoints.com). Leading Points
initiated the relationship between Cannabis Science and Smokefree
Innotec that resulted in this joint venture. Leading Points
Corporation, whose mission is matching industry leaders in order to
capture market share for government and military distribution of
products will continue in that capacity to further progress
possible government and military use of the products developed from
this joint venture.
