Looking Forward to New Therapies

Our home state of Pennsylvania has become the first state to permit medical marijuana research, and Ashton Tweed is excited for local medical schools to begin studies that are long overdue in the life sciences industry. For example, The Lambert Center for the Study of Medicinal Cannabis and Hemp at Thomas Jefferson University’s mission is:

“to advance the scientific basis, research efforts, educational opportunities, positive social impact opportunities, and patient experience associated with the clinical use of cannabis-derived medicinal therapies.”

The potential that these new therapies hold is enormous, and Ashton Tweed has been an advocate in this space since the beginning, both in the U.S. and abroad.

In fiscal year 2015, the NIH supported 281 projects totaling over $111 million on cannabinoid research. With the recent progress and expansion of this movement, these numbers have and will continue to grow.

Involved in this movement and familiar with the current climate, Ashton Tweed is prepared to navigate the complex federal and state laws your company is guided by in order to lead your business to success. We are committed to supporting companies working towards the following established applications of medical marijuana and new uses that continue to emerge:

• Nausea & Vomiting
• Pain
• Neurological Problems
• Mental Health & Wellbeing
