Canopy and Battelle and ebbuI've been thinking about the potential of the Battelle partnership and it was peaked when Bruce mentioned on his last Midas Letter interview that they have 12,000 employees world wide. If you go on their website, it's quite an amazing organization:

I re-read the announcement on Nov. 27 below:

I then went looking for some info on Battelle around the same time and found the article below:

In particular, I found the following from the article very interesting (underlining is mine)
Companies selling marijuana for medical purposes have faced a conundrum: Because of the federal ban on the product, there's almost no U.S. clinical research to back up largely anecdotal evidence of marijuana's benefits, such as restoring appetite for cancer patients or reducing pain and inflammation.
The Battelle/ebbu partnership with Canopy now makes great sense. If you now go to ebbu's website and read about their patents/inventions and delivery systems:

I now believe that all the ducks are in a row to be the first to get FDA approval for CBD infused drinks quickly (then there's Constellation for manufacturing/bottling/marketing/distribution). Now add ointments/topicals/oral oils, etc. to the mix.
