News just in re CBIS and Thailand. This was just posted at Facebook in advance of the formal press release from CBIS.
COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo., Cannabis Science, Inc. (OTC Bulletin Board: CBIS), a pioneering U.S. biotech company developing pharmaceutical cannabis products, is pleased to announce meetings with Thai Cannabis Corp. and senior government officials and advisors regarding environmental and commercial benefits of medical cannabis.
Robert Melamede, Ph.D., Cannabis Science’s CEO stated, “It was amazing to meet with enlightened government officials who recognize the health, environmental, and commercial benefits of hemp and medical cannabis. Thailand now leads the world in having created intelligent policies so that the Thai people, and others from around the world, will benefit from the health promoting properties of the cannabis plant that have been so foolishly suppressed by American led policies of fear and ignorance.”
Cannabis Science and our associates in Thailand are constructing a business relationship that will allow for clinical trials to take place in Thailand with approval of the Thai governmental. The intent is to formalize a mutually beneficial partnership that will create a medical cannabis tourism industry. Concurrently, Thailand will serve as a staging ground for Cannabis Science to test and develop our products as we move towards our ultimate goal of U.S. FDA approved cannabis-extract-based medicines. The Thai people will benefit from our collaborative effort. Income and knowledge generated by medical cannabis tourism will offset medical costs for the Thai people. It should be noted that Thailand, with a population of approximately 68 million, already has a first class medical system that draws patients from around the world. By establishing a medical cannabis tourism industry anyone from anywhere in the world will be able to benefit from the integration of medical cannabis into a modern health care system. Cancer patients will be able to stay in resorts where they will receive holistic care that will include special diets and exercise in a physically and mentally supporting, health promoting environment.
