CS MEDICA introduces monthly letter from the CEO
CS MEDICA’s (”CS MEDICA” or the ”Company”) are now introducing a monthly CEO letter with the intention to keep shareholders and other interested parties updated about the Company’s expected objectives and activities in the forthcoming month. The CEO letter will cover important events, status in development and touch upon current events within the Company’s industry and field of business.
As a first mover within medical treatment with cannabinoids, it requires huge dedication, persistence, focus and aspirations from our employees to build and maintain momentum within our field of business. To keep our shareholders updated, we are now introducing our monthly CEO letter going forward.
In CS MEDICA we are driven by making the best cannabis medical products in the world. Our goal is to become a leading company in the cannabis medical treatment industry, and we truly believe we are going to change the millions of people life’s who buy our products. With the introduction of CANNASEN® CBD product line, we are positioned at the forefront and are currently the only company delivering medical products based on cannabinoids under the pharmaceutical legislation. The competitive advantage that truly distinguishes CS MEDICA is that the Company’s product offering is positioned at the intersection of natural products, science, and cannabinoid technology, while also working under the pharmaceutical legislation (MDR). Bringing these aspirations together – is what drives us.
Our philosophy and focus on the safety and efficacy proven under the pharmaceutical legislation are now paying off. Currently, an intensified global focus is directed on cannabis products not meeting the now stricter requirements under the pharmaceutical legislation. Consequently, there is a general withdrawal of illegal cannabis products, leaving only prescription medicine and medical and cosmetic products, like ours, on the market. In the UK[1], thousands of cannabis products that do not comply with FSA(UK) requirements are now being removed from the shelves. In addition, in Hong Kong, the customs just seized cannabidiol products containing tetrahydro-cannabinol (THC) worth about $14.6 million[2].
Despite these incidents, the interest in cannabinoid medical products is increasing and BIG pharma is now breaking ground in the escalating cannabinoids industry. Most recently, the fourth acquisition within BIG Pharma was completed by INDIA’S fourth largest pharmaceutical company, Dr Reddy’s Labs, with their purchase of the German cannabis product whole seller, Nimbus Health. In December, Pfizer announced its acquisition of Arena Pharmaceutical, a medical cannabis company, for $6.7 billion. In May last year, Jazz Pharma bought GW Pharma, a maker of cannabis medications. In 2019, generic major Teva Pharma signed a distribution deal with Israeli medical marijuana company Canndoc.
