Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - October 5, 2017) - Canabo Medical Inc. (TSXV: CMM) (OTCQB: CAMDF) ("Canabo" or the "Company") is pleased to report that it will receive a $310,000.00 Research Grant to conduct a study on the reduction of opioids for patients prescribed medical cannabis.
The study, perhaps the largest of its kind, will involve 1,000 patients currently using opioids to manage chronic pain. It will examine whether the use of opioids among patients experiencing chronic pain increase or decrease following the prescription of medical cannabis. Opioid deaths are one of the most serious concerns facing physicians in Canada and around the world.
John Philpott, Canabo's CEO commented: "We are delighted to play a leading role in this type of research in Canada. The study's methodology has been already been approved by the Ethics Review Board at Acadia University which will greatly assist in having the study's results published in Medical Journals across Canada and around the world. We believe this is just the beginning for other such research contracts".
In addition, The Company wishes to announce that, subject to TSX Venture Exchange approval, it has granted incentive stock options to certain directors, officers, and consultants to purchase up to an aggregate of 1,000,000 common shares exercisable on or before October 4, 2022 at a price of 0.45c per share.
