"We have been enthusiastically reviewing investment firms that have expressed interest in our business model that have similar humanitarian interests and dedication to the industry, and we didn't have to look far. We think we certainly found the right group, with the right mindset, and the right track record. We expect to formally announce the Firm once preparations are complete for a formal presentation directly after the Global Health Catalyst (GHC) Summit @ Harvard Medical School," stated Mr. Raymond C. Dabney, President & CEO, Co-Founder, Cannabis Science Inc.
"As a direct result of our CRA with Dana Farber we have experienced a considerable increase in the number of expanded research collaborations requests targeting several ailments from Universities, Foundations, Corporations, and Private Investors. These groups seem to have one thing in common: they are all looking to get involved with our research programs with Dana Farber and beyond. They are looking to target one or more critical ailments of interest to their group or just invest in a study based on their previous life experiences. This is exactly what we were hoping for, expansion through partnerships and acquisitions.
"We have also experienced a very large number of self-medicating patients looking for cannabinoid information or actual new cannabinoid medication they can purchase for their specific condition. This is truly profound, what is happening right now, all around us; once again we are certainly making history with all those working with us, especially Dana Farber. We are certainly blessed and our goal is to pass on our knowledge, medications, and resources to the millions of patients worldwide seeking natural alterative medications for their conditions. The anticipated 25 Million in new funding will certainly allow us to meet this demand while we fast tracking our formal FDA initiatives through Dana Farber and really begin to make a noticeable difference," stated Mr. Raymond C. Dabney, President & CEO, Co-Founder, Cannabis Science Inc.
