Vancouver, British Columbia–(Newsfile Corp. – May 14, 2018) – PreveCeutical Medical Inc. (CSE: PREV) (OTCQB: PRVCF) (FSE: 18H) (the « Company » or « PreveCeutical »), announces the arrival of the second shipment of dried cannabis materials at the Pharmacy Australia Centre of Excellence (« PACE ») at the University of Queensland (« UQ »). The shipment came from PreveCeutical’s partner, a Canadian licensed producer.
The cannabis materials will be used for PreveCeutical’s soluble gel (« Sol-gel ») drug delivery research program (the « Program »). The program involves testing of an array of cannabis strains for the development and commercialisation of cannabinoid-based Sol-gels.
