TBP website - I have a question...
I was reading the website today and I have a question regarding a point on the investors page.
Under "Why invest" they have the following points: Why Invest Tetra is the only company in North America that is working with prescription drug regulators (i.e., Health Canada and FDA) to conduct rigorous clinical trials by bringing pharmaceutical science to the world of medicinal cannabis. As cannabis is a known entity for treating chronic pain, Tetra is able to bypass the long and extensive Phase II clinical trials with Health Canada and have expediency with the FDA. One of the emerging trend in the opioid market is smokable medical marijuana which Tetra plans to bring its lead product PPP001 a smokable, natural medical marijuana to market for the treatment of chronic pain in cancer patients. While other global Pharmaceuticals have secured approval for cannabis derivatives, nobody has proven to regulators that smokable cannabis has any medical benefits. As the opioid epidemic affects millions in North America and continues to grow, there is an increasing demand for an alternative to opioids such as cannabis based drugs that will replace the toxic side effect profile of opioids. Tetra plans to develop a superior quality cannabinoid drug product through a scientific process which will create intellectual property which the company can protect via patents. In addition, Tetra plans on filing the IP for a device with a built-in mechanism for reducing drug abuse.
All good points, but I'm not quite sure what the last one refers to. Does it refer to the structure of the inhalation device for PP0001 (to prevent abuse/overdose) or something else altogether? Anyone know?
