Cannabis Science Applauds Extending Legalization of Nevada Medical Cannabis Program and Continued Growth of the U.S. Industry; Examines Opportunities Presented by the Opening of the Nevada Market
COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo., April 4, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Cannabis Science, Inc. (CBIS), a U.S. Company specializing in cannabis formulation-based drug development and related consulting is proud to announce plans to enter the State of Nevada where new law expands medical cannabis opportunities to research, grows, and dispensaries. As the Company has created a partnership in Michigan to advance state cannabis law and pursue state-wide initiatives in Michigan, Cannabis Science intends to bring its know how and resources to Nevada, the state of Cannabis Science's Incorporation.
The new law marks another milestone in the progression in the legalization process of the medical cannabis industry in the United States -- one that is aimed at ways of managing multiple ailments for patients. In addition, the new law is expected to contribute to the creation of new sources of revenue and employment opportunities within the state. Cannabis Science is well positioned to bring novel patient-based initiatives to Nevada.
"Nevada is another key state in which we, as Nevada incorporate company, can deliver cannabis-based products and medical care to patients. As Nevada legislation continues to develop, our Michigan state-based experience puts Cannabis Science in an advantageous position to develop new opportunities in Nevada," stated Dr. Dorothy Bray, Director and CEO of Cannabis Science, Inc.
Nevada originally introduced their medical cannabis program on a patient level in 2001. The new law, effective as of April 1, 2014, allows for the buying, selling, and testing of cannabis as regulated, and the taxation of cannabis revenues. Licenses for these types of businesses will be issued, and patients can expect doors to open around January 1, 2015.
