MESQUITE, NV / ACCESSWIRE / November 9, 2015 / Cannabis Sativa Inc. (OTCQB: CBDS) announced today that on behalf of its wholly owned subsidiary, Hi Brands International, Inc. ("HBI"), a Nevada corporation, the Company has entered into a Memorandum of Understanding with Antoine Creek Farms ("ACF"), a Washington limited liability company. The companies are working towards a definitive agreement in connection with the approval, sale, branding and packaging of specific topical ointments for use and sale by ACF in the Washington state recreational marijuana market.
Hi Brands International's proprietary "hi" Recover and "hi" Releaf formulations, developed by Cannabis Sativa Inc. subsidiary Wild Earth Naturals, will be used for the venture. The "hi" Recover formulation will be a CBD infused topical balm containing 50 milligrams of CBD. The "hi" Releaf topical ointment will contain 50mg of CBD and 50mg of THC, and "hi" Releaf Plus topical ointment will contain 50mg CBD and 100mg THC. The infusion process will be done by Antoine Creek Farms at their licensed Washington facilities.
CBDs or "cannabidiol" are generally considered to give marijuana users specific medical effects. THC or "Tetrahydrocannabinol" is the part of the plant that helps people have the feeling of euphoria or "high." Although the science is still out, most scientists seem to coalesce around the idea that THC in small amounts is what activates or allows the CBDs to do its job.
Timothy McCormack, the CEO of Antoine Creek Farms commented, "At Antoine Creek Farms we are looking to the horizon of legal marijuana markets; part of that means forecasting and developing market demands and needs. We, along with Cannabis Sativa, Inc., believe one underserved part of this emerging market is topical ointments and even cosmetics. We are excited to help move the industry from basement laboratories to high-tech, cutting edge formulations and will sooth the word as we know it!" McCormack goes on to excitedly note, "the cosmetics industry is projected to generate 62.46 billion in U.S. dollars in 2016. Being able to add small amounts of THC and larger amounts of CBD to these skin care products represents a paradigm shift towards effective homeopathic solutions to skincare and rejuvenation."
