Cannabis Science (CBIS) Readies To Launch New Products In California With Apothocary Genetics
COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo., Dec. 5, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Cannabis Science, Inc. (CBIS), a U.S. company specializing in global cannabis formulation-based drug development and consulting, is in the final stages of its preparations to launch new products throughout the California market, including extracts, oils, tinctures, tablets, and creams.
All that's left now is to finish work on the packaging and the labeling, and that should only take a matter of days," said Mr. Raymond C. Dabney, Director, President & CEO and Co-Founder of Cannabis Science Inc. "The products and the formulation are there. We're ready to launch in California and we're excited, as I'm sure many self-medicating patients are."
The California launch was made possible by a renegotiation of the Cannabis Science agreement with Apothecary Genetics Investments LLC. The new agreement enabled Cannabis Science to purchase and license two northern California production farms with a combined total of 51 acres. The purchase included all related equipment for cannabis cultivation and production for the state's substantial medical cannabis market and gives Apothecary Genetics the right to sell Cannabis Science formulations throughout the State of California.
"Apothecary Genetics is state licensed and regulated, and now with our new licensing agreement we can proceed with the commercialization of our medical cannabis formulations throughout the State," said Mr. Dabney.
Mr. Dabney said the company will provide more information about the release of its products and where they will be available in the coming days.
