Kannalife Sciences, Inc. ("KannaLife") and Biotech Inc. ("Biotech"), have entered into a 50/50 joint venture agreement through the creation of South Park Ventures, LLC ("SPV"). As part of the Joint Venture agreement, KannaLife has acquired the rights, titles and interests in Cannatol™, a phyto-medical compound, derived principally from a highly standardized, consistent and high yielding organic cannabidiol phyto stock, free from pesticide and mold contaminants in exchange for 1,000,000 shares of KannaLife Sciences, Inc. Common Stock and a capital investment in SPV.Dean Petkanas, CEO of KannaLife Sciences, Inc. stated, "We are blessed and truly fortunate to have partnered with Jason Cranford and Biotech Inc. in the creation of South Park Ventures. Jason Cranford is one of the top horticultural scientists in the United States and has proven himself time and again as one of the leading experts in the cultivation of naturopathic and botanical medicaments. Two years ago, he was awarded the prestigious Cannabis Cup, held in category for the first time and specifically to entries of cannabidiol (CBD) producing phenotypes. Jason Cranford's award winning specimen was an organically produced cannabis phenotype, hybridized over a three year period and tested with a certificate of analysis recording the highest yielding organic CBD (cannabidiol) yield known to date at over 34%. His botanical research and knowledge of plant variants will play a critical role in the establishment of reference standards for KannaLife's formulary, database and standardization processes for botanical medicaments."Jason Cranford, CEO of Biotech stated, "Partnering with KannaLife Sciences opens up a window to establishing industry standards for phyto-medical products which includes providing certification, quality control and quality assurance standards for the growing of botanicals for use as medicine. All too often, products are being sold with low qualitative standards and little to no oversight. In the field of cannabis related medicine, there is a widespread problem with contaminated crops being grown by illegal market participants and sub-standard producers. These products are largely in demand by a variety of patients across a pantheon of disease indications, most notably cancer patients. It is vitally important not to compromise chemotherapy with products containing trace elements, mold and pesticides consistently found in low grade untested and unsanitary products. Through South Park Ventures, we believe we will put forth, among other things, a gold standard from seed to sale on cannabis related medicaments."  - source



The Age of Deception is Ending In 2003, the U.S. Government as represented by the Department of Health and Human Services filed for, and was awarded a patent on cannabinoids. The reason? Because research into cannabinoids allowed pharmaceutical companies to acquire practical knowledge on one of the most powerful antioxidants and neuroprotectants known to the natural world.The U.S. Patent 6630507 was specifically initiated when researchers found that cannabinoids had specific antioxidant properties making them useful in the treatment and prophylaxis of wide variety of oxidation associated diseases, such as ischemic, age-related, inflammatory and autoimmune diseases. The cannabinoids are found to have particular application as neuroprotectants, for example in limiting neurological damage following ischemic insults, such as stroke and trauma, or in the treatment of neurodegenerative diseases, such as Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s disease and HIV dementia. Nonpsychoactive cannabinoids, such as cannabidoil, are particularly advantageous to use because they avoid toxicity that is encountered with psychoactive cannabinoids at high doses useful in the method of the present invention.Besides the top 10 health benefits below, findings published in the journal PLoS ONE, researchers have now have now discovered that marijuana-like chemicals trigger receptors on human immune cells that can directly inhibit a type of human immuno-deficiency virus (HIV) found in late-stage AIDS.Recent studies have even shown it to be an effective atypical anti-psychotic in treating schizophrenia, a disease many other studies have inconsistently found it causing.Top 10 Health Benefits of Marijuana 

1. Cancer - Cannabinoids, the active components of marijuana, inhibit tumor growth in laboratory animals and also kill cancer cells. Western governments have known this for a long time yet they continued to suppress the information so that cannabis prohibition and the profits generated by the drug industry proliferated.THC that targets cannabinoid receptors CB1 and CB2 is similar in function to endocannabinoids, which are cannabinoids that are naturally produced in the body and activate these receptors. The researchers suggest that THC or other designer agents that activate these receptors might be used in a targeted fashion to treat lung cancer.

2. Tourette’s Syndrome - Tourette’s syndrome is a neurological condition characterized by uncontrollable facial grimaces, tics, and involuntary grunts, snorts and shouts.Dr. Kirsten Mueller-Vahl of the Hanover Medical College in Germany led a team that investigated the effects of chemicals called cannabinols in 12 adult Tourette’s patients. A single dose of the cannabinol produced a significant reduction in symptoms for several hours compared to placebo, the researchers reported.

3. Seizures - Marijuana is a muscle relaxant and has “antispasmodic” qualities that have proven to be a very effective treatment for seizures. There are actually countless cases of people suffering from seizures that have only been able to function better through the use of marijuana.

4. Migraines - Since medicinal marijuana was legalized in California, doctors have reported that they have been able to treat more than 300,000 cases of migraines that conventional medicine couldn’t through marijuana.

5. Glaucoma - Marijuana’s treatment of glaucoma has been one of the best documented. There isn’t a single valid study that exists that disproves marijuana’s very powerful and popular effects on glaucoma patients.

6. Multiple Sclerosis - Marijuana’s effects on multiple sclerosis patients became better documented when former talk-show host, Montel Williams began to use pot to treat his MS. Marijuana works to stop the neurological effects and muscle spasms that come from the fatal disease.

7. ADD and ADHDA - well documented USC study done about a year ago showed that marijuana is not only a perfect alternative for Ritalin but treats the disorder without any of the negative side effects of the pharmaceutical.

8. IBS and Crohn’s - Marijuana has shown that it can help with symptoms of the chronic diseases as it stops nausea, abdominal pain, and diarrhea.

9. Alzheimer’s - Despite what you may have heard about marijuana’s effects on the brain, the Scripps Institute, in 2006, proved that the THC found in marijuana works to prevent Alzheimer’s by blocking the deposits in the brain that cause the disease.

10. Premenstrual Syndrome - Just like marijuana is used to treat IBS, it can be used to treat the cramps and discomfort that causes PMS symptoms. Using marijuana for PMS actually goes all the way back to Queen Victoria. - source
