Suzanne:
What is next in terms of your research? In what direction are you looking once your PhD is completed this year?
Pritesh:
I am considering several options at the moment. I will continue to do research but from a slightly different perspective. I am personally interested in the plant cannabinoids as they may hold tremendous therapeutic benefit and represent an untapped source of potentially novel medications. I will stay on as consultant for Quantum 9, Inc. which is one of few companies out there that are legitimately interested in helping patients in the long run. Personally, I envision operating a company with a research facility in the state of Kentucky which will be heavily focused on the development of medications from plant cannabinoid extractions and perform laboratory testing for cannabis samples once this bill is passed.

Like AltMed, Vida Cannabis has assembled its own team to produce pharmaceutical-grade marijuana.
One of the key members of the Vida Cannabis team is Pritesh Kumar, a doctorate degree holder who also has a master’s in pharmacology.
Kumar has published research on the body’s endo-cannabinoid system, which has been shown to regulate a broad spectrum of physiological conditions, from regulating appetite to experiencing pain.
His published work and more that is planned are aimed at helping Vida Cannabis build credibility in the medical community, Wilson said.
