Cannabis Therapy Corp. Views FDA Reclassification Analysis as a Potential Win for Both Industry and Consumers

BOULDER, CO–(Marketwired – Jun 30, 2014) – Cannabis Therapy Corp. (OTCQB: CTCO) (the “Company”) a development stage company aiming to become a leader in the research, development and commercialization of safe, all-natural, THC-free cannabinoid-based medicinal therapies and supplements (Nutraceuticals), is very pleased to note recent media reports that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”), at the request of the Drug Enforcement Administration (“DEA”), is conducting an analysis on whether the U.S. should downgrade the classification of marijuana as a Schedule 1 drug.

Schedule 1 drugs are the most restrictive of the five DEA classifications and are considered substances with no medical benefit and which are highly addictive.

Written testimony provided to a congressional hearing by Douglas Throckmorton, Deputy Director for Regulatory Programs at the FDA confirm reports that the DEA has been petitioned to change marijuana’s classification and indicated the request was sent to the FDA which has responded by commencing an eight-factor analysis including drug abuse potential, pharmacological effects and risk to public health.

Cannabis Therapy Corp President & CEO Soren Mogelsvang states, “A classification downgrade makes perfect sense given the growing body of evidence to support a wide number of medicinal benefits associated with cannabis extracts and products. With twenty-two states already permitting medical marijuana and two of them, Washington and Colorado, allowing recreational use, it’s clearly the time for a reconciliation of the differences between federal and state laws. Once everyone is on the same page, we can really move ahead and build a lawful and responsible industry that can deliver health benefits and revenues in a win-win environment for both consumers and stakeholders alike.”
