46 Reasons why Cannabis Technologies (CAN) will Succeed
1) INVESTING
in biotech can be extremely challenging. There is always a chance that someone will come out with a better product. Typically, it takes a decade or more to approval, followed by commercialization. It usuallycosts tens of millions, to billions of dollars per drug. This can be highly dilutive to a small startup.
2) What if one company had a proprietary cookie cutter system targeting a dozen diseases quicker, cheaper and more effective? I am not sure what Cannabis Technologies will be called in a year from now. I think it will have a new name... perhaps GW Pharmaceuticals or Eli Lily? Or Novartis?
3) Dr. Hossain was chiefly responsible for a $157 million deal with Novartis a decade ago. There was also a $376 million deal with Teva in 2012 based on one of his discoveries. More on that later.
4) Dr. Tarek Mansour (Pfizer) was responsible for multiple FDA approved drugs, where the MARKET value exceeded $1 billion. (Zeffix, Troxatyl, Bosulif, Neratinib and PFE384)
5) The big question is...how many therapy product launches, and strategic partnerships will it take before Big Pharma catches on?
6) The amplitude of possibilities dictates that Cannabis Technologies will one day be a dominant player in the prescription cannabinoid medicine market.
7) Many people now know there are at least 85 different cannabinoids isolated from cannabis exhibiting various effects that could prove therapeutic.
8) They also know that cannabidiol (CBD) alone has shown therapeutic benefits to at least 16 diseases.
9) CAN will take advantage of Strain differences to develop drugs for specific diseases, including:
Glaucoma, Inflammation/Pain/ARTHRITIS, Huntington's, Epilepsy,DIABETES, Obesity, Cancer & Angiogenesis
10) CAN's proprietary Cannabinoid Drug Design Platform ("CDP") allows COMPUTER SCIENCE, statistics, mathematics and engineering to study biological data and processes from the cannabis plant which can be targeted to develop therapies for specific diseases and conditions.
11) What will CAN's CDP be worth to a company that wants to compete with GWPH...or a better question..what would it be worth to GWPH?
12) The main active ingredients in this are the cannabinoids THC and CBD, but other pharmacologically active cannabinoids are also present and are being investigated.
13) This Platform Technology, combined with CAN's world renowned scientific team, will enable the company to discover therapies based on proven genomics and unique chemical fingerprints that specific cellular processes leave behind.
14) They will do this both quickly and effectively, with very little MONEY, by outsourcing patented products that are ready for clinical trials and allow a company like Novartis (for example) to absorb all the costs through to commercialization. CAN will retain a fair and reasonable interest that may generate substantial revenue.
Track Record
Dr. Hossain's successful FINANCIAL deals based on his drug discoveries over the last 15 years include:
15) 2004: Xenon, Novartis Enter $157M Deal For Obesity Compounds
16) 2006: Xenon and Takeda Announce $75M Agreement To Develop and Commercialize XEN401 for Pain
17) 2006: Xenon Enters Into Anemia Collaboration With Roche ($7 Million for Equity, and $44 Million From Research FUNDING)
18) 2012: Teva inks $376M deal on Xenon pain program
19) 2009: YM Biosciences Collaboration with the National Research Council of Canada’s Biotechnology Research Institute (NRC-BRI) yieldedNOVEL anticancer antibodies that may be safer than similar drugs sold by Genentech/Roche. (another partnership resulted in the production of new breast CANCER DRUG candidates.)
20) 2009: NRC-BRI granted Alethia Biotherapeutics exclusive, worldwide diagnostic rights to a peptide that specifically binds to tumor-associated clusterin in cancer patients.
Who should CAN target?
21) GW Pharmaceuticals has one the broadest clinical pipelines of any company in the marijuana industry...so will CAN.
22) Even though GW may be suffering the typical challenges that all biopharma companies have to endure, with costs far outstripping revenues, they had no problem raising $169.8 million last month.
23) Over 30 years ago, two young men made their way to Vancouver from Seattle to raise MONEY for their software company, and were unfortunately turned down. Their names were Bill Gates and Paul Allen. Very few understood what they had.
24) I think CAN is in the same position today, however, that is changing with Chris Parry writing one of the first articles. Cancer survivor and canabis acdvocate Cheryl Shuman recently endorsed Cannabis Technologies as well.
25) If the billionaire activists want Marijuana to be legalized they most likely would want to facilitate the fast tracking of several revolutionary therapies that will indeed improve the lives of the millions of sufferers around the world.
26) George Soros has spent at least $80 million on the legalization effort since 1994.
27) The late Peter B. Lewis, channeled more than $40 million to influence local debates.
28) The two billionaires’ FUNDING has been unmatched by anyone.
29) Other wealthy activists include: Google billionaire Paul Buchheit, Facebook forefathers Sean Parker and Dustin Moskovitz, and Men’s Wearhouse founder George Zimmer.
30) As of March 31, GWPH had 75 Institutional Holders (sooner or later, they will know about CAN)
31) Analyst Firms Making GWPH Recommendations: BANK of America, Cowen, Piper Jaffray, Leerink Swann, and Morgan Stanley.

Craig Schneider
One of Craig's first companies that he worked for was Ultra Petroleum. The STOCKdropped from .95 to .45 before blasting through the stratosphere to a stunning pre split price of close to $200. Put another way, the MARKET cap rose from around $3 million to close to $3 Billion!
Loyal investors were rewarded once again in 2006, as he was the cofounder of Magnum Uranium, which was taken over by Energy Fuels in 2009. Shareholders were once again exposed to another potential 1000% gain by 2011.
