CBI$ NEWS!!! Cannabis Science (CBIS) Applauds Unprecedented United States Federal Government Approval of University Study of Medical Cannabis for Veterans Suffering from PTSD
COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo., March 19, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Cannabis Science, Inc. (nasdaq otc:CBIS), a U.S. Company specializing in cannabis formulation-based drug development and related consulting, applauds federal government approval of a University of Arizona study of efficacy of medical cannabis in treating post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Cannabis Science sees this approval by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services as a watershed moment for federal authorization of medical cannabis research.
"As a premier medical cannabis pharmaceutical company, we welcome the federal government support of a significant patient study of the effectiveness of treating PTSD with medical cannabis. While admittedly a first step, it is a substantial one that moves federal policy in the direction of permitting important patient-based research that we at CBIS believe will show the clear medical value of cannabis for many diseases and conditions," said Dorothy H. Bray, Ph.D., Director & CEO of Cannabis Science, Inc.
