Dr. Eyal Ballan, Chief scientist of Cannabics Pharmaceuticals stated, "Our mission is to find the right balance between efficacy on the one hand and the elimination of undesired psychoactive effects on other."

The study is taking place in Israel, it is fully registered with the US NIH under "Cannabics Capsules as Treatment to Improve Cancer Related CACS in Advanced Cancer Patients", Identifier NCT02359123, and may be found at https://clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/show/NCT02359123

"The majority of our cancer trial patients have no previous experience with Cannabis, hence this recalibration of the THC level may be more amenable. We believe there is a significant potential medical market for our 5mg THC capsule in countries that have now instituted medical cannabis regulations," said Itamar Borochov, CEO of Cannabics Pharmaceuticals Inc.
