Big Pharma names have already entered the space with Pfizer and Merck actually owning cannabis IP in addition the more entrepreneurial companies such as GW Pharmaceuticals that have made recent notable splashes in the market place.

What each JV Partner Brings To the Party

Kali recently announced a letter of intent to acquire NCM Biotech, the developer and owner of a patented cannabis extraction process - U.S. Patent No. 9,199,960 entitled “METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR PROCESSING HERBACEOUS PLANT MATERIALS INCLUDING THE CANNABIS PLANT.”  Kali and NCM anticipate closing the acquisition this month.  NCM’s proprietary extracts have already been involved in a number of medical trials.  In that regard, NCM brings an impressive medical advisory team that includes John N. Gaitanis, MD., Director of Child Neurology at Tufts Medical Center/Floating Hospital for Children;  Lloyd R. Saberski, M.D., Associate Professor of Anesthesiology and Chronic Pain Management, Yale University, and John McMichael, Ph.D., President & CEO Beech Tree Labs.

 PURA has previously licensed the NCM Biotech patent for use in specific     commercial applications. PURA brings its commercial experience to the planned   pharmaceutical JV. PURA also brings its network and experience in the Sports   Nutrition market, an excellent go to market for pharmaceuticals and wellness   products.

 

 

Nouveau has recently acquired a cannabis cultivation operation from Puration. In the JV, Nouveau would be tasked with developing a proprietary pharmaceutical grade hemp cultivar.  The acquired cannabis cultivation has already initiated efforts toward developing a proprietary, pharmaceutical grade hemp cultivar.

Research Partners

The JV partners have already engaged in discussions with a university and separately, a pharmaceutical firm, about forming a partnership for the development of specific cannabis therapeutic treatments.  The JV will expand its reach beyond these first two potential partners until it strikes the appropriate research partnerships.

Funding

No research takes place without adequate funding.  Each JV partner is contributing and at the same time working together to secure third party financing.  At this time the company has two financing strategies. One is centered around private financing and one around an independent listing of the JV. The ultimate path will depend on the nature of the investor.

Representatives of the three companies plan to meet next week in Dallas, Texas at Puration’s headquarters.  Look for more news on the JV following next week’s meetings.
