"Among companies seeking to produce clinical data to validate medical marijuana claims, Veritas Pharma (CSE: VRT) (OTC: VRTHF) (FRT: 2VP) has carved its own niche with a multi-front approach to identifying the potential of its cannabis products for ameliorating a variety of maladies, including pain, nausea, epilepsy and PTSD.

"Veritas Pharma's overarching objective is to develop and commercialize the most effective cannabis strains, backed by clinical data, thereby solving the critical need for real science to support claims surrounding medical cannabis. This approach, in combination with the company's strategic alliances, are expected to address the medical community's concerns over the complexities of cannabis potency, efficacy, quality and content in the nearly 800 cannabis strains currently known in the world.

"One such alliance is the recently established agreement between Veritas' 80 percent owned research arm, Cannevert Therapeutics Ltd. ("CTL"), and the Fundacion de Investigacion ("FDI"), a well-known center for pharmaceutical investigatory projects in Puerto Rico. CTL's partnership with FDI provides the structure and resources needed to conduct the first human study of CTL-X, its lead cannabis strain targeting pain. As Veritas CEO Lui Franciosi explained, the agreement is aligned with the company's quest to perform clinical trials to prove the efficacy of the designated lead cannabis strains and to market the clinically effective cultivars as prescription medicines in a fast-track protocol."
