About Cannabis Science, Inc.
Cannabis Science, Inc. is at the forefront of pharmaceutical grade medical
marijuana research and development. The second formulations will address the
needs of patients choosing to use concentrated cannabis extracts to treat their
ailments. Eventually, all Americans will have access to a safe and effective FDA
approved medicine regardless of which state they live in. To maintain that
marijuana is a dangerous, addictive drug with no medical value is scientifically
absurd. Cannabis medicines, with no effective lethal dose, are far safer than
aspirin, acetaminophen, and most other OTC drugs that kill thousands of
Americans every year.
The Company works with world authorities on phytocannabinoid science
targeting critical illnesses, and adheres to scientific methodologies to
develop, produce and commercialize phytocannabinoid-based pharmaceutical
products. In sum, we are dedicated to the creation of cannabis-based medicines,
both with and without psychoactive properties, to treat disease and the symptoms
of disease, as well as for general health maintenance.
