The Doctors will establish evidence of cannabis-based medical efficacy, and create Intellectual Property (IP) on medically efficient cannabinoid-based products
Exploring the medical applications of cannabinoids, the Doctors will focus on IP claims, protecting products and their application, pre-clinical exploratory, proof of principal, and the safety data required for Institutional Review Board (IRB) and FDA approval of human (Phase I, II, III) studies on the use of medicinal marijuana.
