Cannabis Science (CBIS) Issues Upbeat Report on its Subsidiary, Michigan Green Technologies (MGT), as Historic Michigan Milestone is Reached with New Hemp Legislation
COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo., Jan. 29, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Cannabis Science, Inc. (OTCQB: CBIS), a U.S. Company specializing in cannabis formulation-based drug development and related consulting, is pleased to issue an update regarding its subsidiary, Michigan Green Technologies LLC (MGT), and the positive evolution of the Michigan legal landscape.
Cannabis Science shares the mission of Michigan Green Technologies in bringing cannabis-based wellness solutions to the people of Michigan. MGT is recognized as the leading resource for Michigan legislative initiatives and management consulting in respect of cannabinoid-based drug development, nutraceuticals, food supplements, cosmeceuticals and food products.
"Michigan leaped forward with the passage into law of the state's hemp bills. Cannabis Science is pleased with the strong, professional work of its Michigan-based operations and that of its many Michigan partners. MGT represents an incredible assemblage of highly qualified individuals -- and the team continues to expand. We look forward to more legislative progress in Michigan over the next few quarters, as Michigan's and MGT's business models mature in a parallel fashion," stated Robert Kane, Director & CFO, Cannabis Science Inc.
MGT celebrated this month's milestone victory: the passage of Michigan's hemp bills. House Bills 5439 and 5440 were put into immediate effect and became Public Act 547. As the state's legislative environment continues to mature, the prospects grow for MGT's successful development and delivery of quality cannabis-based care to patients in need. Michigan's progressive, common sense approach to legislation is likely to make it a leading US state in which cannabis-based care is fully integrated into the general healthcare system, thus providing patients with effective products in a safe and regulated manner.
Other updates include the following:
- MGT continues development in preparation for projects with various of Michigan's universities to engage and invest in clinical research and educational programs;
- MGT progresses in securing a potent and talented advisory board that encompasses professionals and experts in law, medicine, law enforcement, state and federal government, and R & D;
- MGT has created a network of county governmental leaders throughout the state for the purpose of implementation of a statewide pilot program spanning all aspects of a robust hemp program, including education of key stakeholders;
- MGT is excited about the future of upcoming initiatives, such as the Michigan Medical Marihuana Act and related pending legislation, to rationalize and organize the state's cannabis program for safe, viable and effective patient care.
