CanChew does not contain THC, therefore it does not contain any of the psychoactive properties which may impact the neurological balance of a patients mind, or the "high" feeling. Instead, its key active ingredient is a hemp-based, high concentrate CBD oil made available by Medical Marijuana, Inc.'s state-of-the-art extraction technology. Several ground breaking studies including those highlighted in the September 18, 2012 San Francisco Chronicle article, "Pot compound seen as tool against cancer" as well as at Project CBD, have shown that non-psychoactive CBD wellness products may provide powerful relief for pain and anxiety sufferers, but without the euphoric effects caused by THC. Please click here for more CDB studies: http://www.medicalmarijuanainc.com/index.php/research. The CBD health and wellness industry is estimated by MJNA to be a $5 billion market. According to BCC Research and Market Forecasting, the global market for pain management pharmaceuticals and devices amounted to $19.1 billion in 2008 and is expected to increase to $32.8 billion in 2013. The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) for the 5-year period is projected at 11.5%. Starting on October 15, 2012, prospective patients will be able to log into a dedicated website and answer questions on a health history survey to determine their eligibility for participation in the market trial, which will begin by November 15, 2012. Patients who qualify for the trial will receive a minimum one-month supply of the CBD chewing gum, which contains approximately 8-10 milligrams of CBD per piece and will be blister packed in packages of 8 and 32 pieces. Patients will provide specific feedback to the Company regarding usage and experience. While the company has been underway with clinical development for many months, it expects to launch human Clinical trials for this product and other CBD containing products by the end of 2013. CanChew Biotechnologies expects to launch over-the-counter retail sales of the product in early 2013. "We're very excited about this new product and the potential it offers to people suffering from pain and many other ailments. While we originally targeted product sales for October of this year, we decided this interim market launch would provide us with valuable patient feedback and put us in a better position for our full blown national and international launch in early 2013," stated Ted Caligiuri, Interim President of Medical Marijuana, Inc.
