Innovative Financing

'WHERE VENTURE CAPITAL, INVESTMENT BANKERS, INSTITUTIONAL INVESTORS HAVE FAILED THE FUNDING NEEDS OF THE CANNABIS RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT SECTOR THIS IS AN INNOVATIVE NOVEL SOLUTION.' stated Duane Boise the company's CEO

GCP's parent company is Global Cannabis Holdings, a tokenized portfolio of 38+ cannabis companies one of which is MMJ. This is a much more efficient channel for attracting capital other than issuing shares, crypto tokens are issued.

MMJ has submitted several Investigational New Drug Applications with the FDA and has been awarded Orphan Drug Designation from the FDA for Huntington's disease. Additionally, MMJ anticipates it will receive Fast Track Designation from the FDA for its clinical trials. GCP's expertise in cannabis production, and relationships with pharma partners in South America, combined with MMJ's focus on pharmaceutical development, creates a partnership poised to make a significant impact in the medical and pharmaceutical industries.

'We are excited to partner with GCP to bring breakthrough treatment options to patients in need,' said Duane Boise, CEO of MMJ.
