Cannabis Science Inc. (OTCBB: CBIS), an emerging pharmaceutical cannabis company is pleased to announce that the company has signed an agreement with Leading Points Corporation to represent its products, services and initiatives to various government and military agencies. Founded in 2004, Leading Points draws on its founder's 20 years of service as an active duty commissioned officer to establish and secure mutually beneficial relationships between its clients and the military and government markets. Leading Points relies on the advice and judgment of its Board of Advisors to insure that only reputable and reliable products and services are presented to government agencies for consideration.
Leading Points Corporation, Founder and President, Retired Lieutenant Colonel Kevin Sullivan, confirms, “We are in the process of rolling out a phased strategy that initially calls for Leading Points Corporation to work with key decision makers in the 14 U.S. States where the legislatures have approved the use of whole cannabis, the natural product, for medicinal use. Next, we will represent the company in respect to a number of federal initiatives and to insure that they are positioned to support the development of any federal programs through clinical studies, education and treatment. Our primary task is to raise awareness and educate state and federal agencies about Cannabis Science and how remarkably effective medicinal cannabis has proven to be in terms of chronic pain management for Veterans, as well as those suffering from PTSD and other severe medical conditions.”
Dr. Robert Melamede, Cannabis Science Inc. President and CEO, commented, “We are looking forward to working Leading Points to use our recently acquired CAGE Code for governmental contracts. Leading Points understands the tremendous potential for Cannabis Science’s extract-based medicines to help relieve the suffering of people, especially our military personnel. We will carry out clinical trials to demonstrate that the physical (chronic pain) and emotional conditions (PTSD) of those in need can be improved with our formulations. Those who have fought for freedom and have sacrificed so much to protect the freedoms that are the basis of our country have, more than anyone else, earned the right to the benefits provided by this plant. Cannabis has been used for thousands of years because of its unique ability to enhance the health promoting properties of the human endocannabinoid system. We believe that we are on the forefront of the medical cannabis revolution.”
