RE:RE:EQUITY.GURUOk, found it! But, Thanks Jove for this..and, of course, the folks at Equity.Guru..!!
What’s Nanotechnology got to do with weed?
Lots.
Nanosphere Health Sciences (NSHS.C) isn’t your usual pharmaceutical company.
Nanotechnology has been a staple of fiction and movies for decades, usually in some form of microscopic injection of unknowable future tech that cures everything from severed spines to cancer.
And who knows? Maybe it’ll get there someday. What it’s capable of right now is pretty damn cool, though.

The best part is that it’s a patch. No waiting an hour and a half for onset, and no needles.
But before we get any deeper into this we’ll need to define a term: bioavailability.
Basically, bioavailability is a measurement of how much Drug X reaches the intended destination.
It’s the reason why you have to wait for headache relief when you take a Tylenol. It’s a billion little Tylenol molecules all trying to survive the journey through the body’s various systems to get to the problem. If they survive the trip, most of them will end up being too big to fit into the tiny receptors and only a fraction of a fraction will get to work. This leads to decreased bioavailability.
THC has the same problem.
“THC is a big molecule. It is much larger than most receptors can handle. The thing about bioavailability is that you’ve got a particle coming at a receptor and it’s four, five or six times larger than the receptor, the receptor is only going to take what it can take, and that’s it. Now if you’re able to get that particle down to a size that’s compatible with the receptor then your bioavailability is going to go up,” said Victor Goncalves, executive vice president of NanoSphere.
Goncalves pointed out that that the delivery system is not just limited to THC. It can handle literally any molecule it’s wrapped around, and that makes the value basically endless to some companies.
Naturally, Nanosphere is looking to branch out beyond the cannabis industry. This product can be used in cosmeceuticals, nutraceuticals, pharmaceuticals, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs and even has applications in animal health, according to Goncalves.
The Nanosphere Delivery System provides:
- Significantly greater bioavailability and bioactivity
- Site-specific targeting
- Longer half-life in the body
- Minimal side effects
- Enhanced therapeutic value
- Made with all natural, biocompatible, biodegradable, non-toxic materials
This is a company with a dynamite product that the market’s only just starting to take note of. With a value at a little north of $42 million, it’s an absolute steal.
