"For Lexaria Bioscience Corp. (OTCQB: LXRP), the company has several notches in its belt that could stimulate its potential as an attractive acquisition target. Lexaria is a revenue-generating biosciences company focused on improving the delivery of bioactive compounds through gourmet foods. The primary differentiator between Lexaria's products and others on the market is the company's patented delivery technology for non-psychoactive cannabinoids.

"In addition to being cost effective, the company's DehydraTECH™ proprietary technology has been proven in both the laboratory and market to enhance the performance of beneficial compounds in ingestible products in what regards smell, taste, action duration and bio-availability and absorption. This allows for lower overall dosing and higher efficacy, a plus for cannabis suppliers and consumers alike.

"The technology works with all ingested forms of cannabinoids, making Lexaria an enabler rather than a competitor, and allowing the company to develop partnerships with various biotech companies for cannabinoid research and development."
