COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo., July 8, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Cannabis Science, Inc. (OTC: CBIS), a U.S. Company specializing in cannabis formulation-based drug development and related consulting applauds the legalization of medical marijuana usage in New York State opening the opportunity to help one of the largest US populations of patients with legal medical cannabis.
As Gov. Andrew Cuomo signed the Compassionate Care Act, one of the largest marketplaces for medical marijuana has opened up to companies focused on medical grade marijuana treatments. The legalization of medical marijuana has had “overwhelming support” in state polls, State Assembly Speaker Sheldon Silver has said in a statement. Cannabis Science has been actively involved in the procurement and initiation to place treatment and scientific research for the anticipated usage in New York State. With extremely high proliferation of usage numbers coming from Colorado, a state that has legalized both recreational and medical usage, Cannabis Science is extremely excited to see a population base of almost 20 million citizens be part of regulation reform. It is anticipated that these changes will also allow copious amounts of data to be gathered to provide evidence based therapy approach administered in a manner that protects public health and safety.
On the other side of the country after almost 2 years of anticipation, the first licenses for legal sale where issued yesterday and sales are intended to begin today in the state of Washington. Recreational dispensary candidates are currently applying and 20 of the 334 authorized permits have already been approved in the first wave of applications submitted to the state government.

The Cannabis Science management board view these events as a progressive step to boost the cannabinoid science and the opportunity for the scientific innovations held by Cannabis Science to be developed in order to respond to the unmet medical needs in multiple markets.
