Upon obtaining a Controlled Substance License Northern Vine will study the chemistry, pharmacology, therapeutic uses, toxicology of Cannabis and its constituents of synthetic and endogenous compounds that interact with cannabinoid receptors and of any compounds that target other components of the endocannabinoid system. A portion of these funds will be used to further Abattis' patent pending IP (announced November 13 2013) described as; Nutritional supplements that increase nitric oxide tissue levels, with a goal to include the applicable compounds present in cannabis and increase the effectiveness of the company's novel technology.
