Canadian Cannabis Upcoming Legalization Expected to Transform the Legal Marijuana Industry Across North America

Palm Beach, FL – (September 26, 2018) — The rising overall excitement building in the Cannabis markets is everywhere as many are keeping a close eye on the massive global potential of the marijuana industry as legalization is just days away in Canada.  Validation of the potential seems to be apparent as it was reported by BNNBloomberg.com recently that New Age Beverages Corp., which surged as much as 45% on September 5th merely for indicating it tested a cannabis-infused beverage in Colorado at the Liolios Gateway Conference in San Francisco.  Also it was reported by Bloomberg.com this month that Coca-Cola said it’s monitoring the nascent industry and is interested in drinks infused with CBD — the non-psychoactive ingredient in marijuana that treats pain but doesn’t get you high. However Coke downplayed the speculation recently but did indicate “we are closely watching the growth of non-psychoactive CBD as an ingredient in functional wellness beverages around the world. The space is evolving quickly. No decisions have been made at this time.”  This could be a great indication of things to come all while companies are already looking to the next phase of in the booming Cannabis industry.  Active Cannabis companies today include:  MYM Nutraceuticals Inc.

InMed Pharmaceuticals Inc. (TSX:IN.TO) (OTCQX:IMLFF) has filed a Patent Cooperation Treaty (PCT) application pertaining to the company’s INM-405 program and other unique compositions as cannabinoid-based topical therapies for the treatment of pain, which is an important step in protecting the company’s intellectual and commercial property. The patent application, entitled “Methods and Composition for the Treatment of Pain with Cannabinoids” is designed to provide protection of the company’s INM-405 program in over 150 different countries including the United States and claims a priority date from Sept. 22, 2017 (PCT/CA202018/051194).  Dr. Eric Hsu, PhD, InMed’s vice-president of preclinical research and development, commented, “While there are numerous pharmaceutical products to treat both acute and chronic pain, the increase in the number of prescriptions for the opioid class of products (oxycodone, hydrocodone, morphine, methadone, fentanyl, etc.) has led to concerns as these products can be highly addictive and have damaging side effects, including death.” According to the United States Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, since 1999, the number of overdose deaths involving opioids (including prescription opioids and heroin) quadrupled, as have the number of prescriptions for opioids, yet there has been no increase in the amount of pain reported in the general population. Thus, there is a need to find alternative treatments for chronic and severe pain that are non-addictive and have limited side effects. “InMed is researching the potential of non-THC (THC is a psychoactive ingredient in cannabis) cannabinoids to treat pain using a proprietary topical formulation,” Dr. Hsu continued.
