With regards to the successful tests of its innovative delivery formulation aimed at Multiple Myeloma therapy.

This breakthrough formulation will allow the delivery of very high doses of CBD and THC with exceptional bioavailability.
Dr. Stanley Hirsch, the Chairman of OWCP said: “This is an important milestone in our pre-clinical development of cannabis-based therapies for Multiple Myeloma.
