VANCOUVER, BC / ACCESSWIRE / August 28, 2019 / NHS Industries, Ltd. (“NHS Industries” or the “Company”) (CSE:NHS)(OTC:NNHHF) is pleased to announce the Company has signed a joint venture agreement with Cannabis Science, Inc. (“Cannabis Science”)(OTC: CBIS), a U.S. company specializing in the development of cannabinoid-based medicines. The group will focus on job creation, deliver and develop public and private access educational content, and research various delivery platforms for medical cannabinoid-related products and services, all based on the CBIS Economic Development Plan for Canada, (CBIS/CDN EDP).
The new Canadian-based partnership will expand Cannabis Science’s existing operations into Canada through its CDN EDP. CBIS will utilize its relationships with the Harvard International Phytomedicines and Medical Cannabis Institute (Harvard IPI) https://www.harvardipi.org as well as the Company’s collaborations with other leading institutions, to build and deliver educational content for the CDN EDP for the Canadian public.
The focus of the CDN EDP is to create jobs, research and educate the Canadian general public on the potential uses of medical cannabis to treat a variety of critical ailments and industrial uses.
“Utilizing our relationships with the Harvard IPI – as well as with other leading treatment, research, and education institutions globally – puts us in a unique position to rapidly expand our operations and implement our world-class education, job creation, and research activities worldwide,” stated Mr. Raymond C. Dabney, Cannabis Science’s President, CEO, and Co-Founder”.
Beginning with launching targeted cash flow operations in the NHS Industries’ 50,000 sq. ft. greenhouse facility in Langley, BC., Cannabis Science will work with NHS Industries to find other suitable locations for different aspects of the CDN EDP operations including Richmond, North Vancouver, and downtown Vancouver, BC.
While the CBIS CDN EDP will initially focus on positive cash flow activities in the Canadian facility, the Company is now actively looking to add various industry partners to contract, merge, and expand the operations of the CDN EDP immediately. As well, the CDN EDP will launch entrepreneurial educational programs to offer a variety of educational programs directly related to the Company’s operations while continuing to move forward with its successful industrial and medical research of cannabis and hemp in Canada.
“We expect the CBIS CDN EDP research and educational programs will help develop specific skills among the workforce in the communities where we plan to operate and produce highly-skilled personnel for the jobs we hope to create directly and indirectly. This will contribute directly to the growth of our business in Canada.” concluded, Mr. Dabney.
Cannabis Science has invested significantly in the Company’s pre-clinical research programs and experienced ground-breaking, promising results for the use of cannabinoids to treat a number of targeted indications. The Company has investigated varying doses of cannabinoids, and rigorously evaluated treatment outcomes and toxicity to generate data that will inform potential clinical trials.
