Steve Kubby: Cannabis medicines could save millions of lives

Millions of people die each year from diseases that could be largely prevented or minimized by cannabinoid medicines.

 

The science is irrefutable. We now have thousands of peer-reviewed, scientific studies that have emerged and clearly show how cannabinoids can be used to treat, reverse and even prevent many of our worst diseases.

 

What’s worse, we are only now beginning to understand how just deadly conventional prescription drugs actually are. For example, one brave pioneer, Dr. Barbara Starfield of the Johns Hopkins School of Hygiene and Public Health, wrote an article for the July 26, 2000 issue of the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA), volume 284, no. 4. She entitled her article, “Doctors and Their Drugs Could be the Number One Cause of Death in America, Causing Almost 500,000 Deaths Every Year.”

 

Watching people die needlessly is not an option, so my friends and I have formed a publicly traded company to research, develop and license new cannabinoid medicines that are safe, effective and far less expensive than the dangerous, toxic and synthetic pharmaceuticals in current use.

 

Unlike most publicly traded companies, we have a mission that goes beyond our bottom line. That mission is to force governments to license cannabinoid medicines NOW, so we can start saving lives and helping to improve the quality of life for millions of suffering patients.

 

Right now, we have or are developing cannabinoid lozenges and creams that can provide effective, safe and inexpensive treatments for a long list of diseases, including diseases that we are told are untreatable. Our lozenge is not like anything you’ve ever seen before. The onset is in as little as 9 minutes and tests in Canada have shown it to be clearly superior to any other oral delivery systems. There is no excuse for any further delay in getting these lifesaving, non-smokable, lozenges and creams into the hands of patients who so desperately need relief.
