Rav Mlait, president and CEO states: "We are seeing a significant ramp up in the use of Cannabidiol (CBD) for a wide range of health ailments. CBD is a non-psychoactive natural compound that has been shown in scientific and clinical studies to possess beneficial properties in the treatment of various conditions, including epilepsy, seizures, arthritis, diabetes, MS, PTSD, skin cancer and other neurological disorders. Recent headlines from several U.S. states, where advocates are demanding that laws be changed to allow easier access to CBD for the treatment of epileptic seizures, are capturing the attention of researchers, legislators and investors worldwide. Several U.S. states have recently introduced or passed bills to legalize the use of CBD in the treatment of epilepsy and other debilitating conditions. We see several potential business opportunities related to the research and development of CBD. Expert researchers like Andrew Davies have been on the front line of CBD development for many years."
