The Cannabis Revolution

"If Marijuana were unknown, it's discovery would no doubt be hailed as a medical breakthrough. Scientists would praise it's potential for treating everything from pain to cancer and marvel at it's rich pharmacopoeia…”

-- The Economist

“The science is there. This isn’t anecdotal…”

Opportunity and Market Growth

• For most of the past century, investment and research in medical cannabis was virtually non-existent due to legal restrictions.

• With the gradual legalization of medical cannabis and industrial hemp at the state level, research into medical, pharmaceutical and industrial applications is expanding dramatically.

• The medical marijuana market is projected to reach $8.9 billion by 2016

• The global nutraceuticals market is projected to reach $207 billion by 2016.

“Cannabis has been used medicinally for thousands of years to relieve symptoms of pain, nausea, anorexia, muscle stiffness, bladder dysfunction, and to treat a range of sleep, pain and physiological disorders.”

Nutraceutical Sector

• Nutritional supplements or ‘functional foods’ that promise medical or health benefits.• Products range from isolated nutrients, dietary supplements and herbal remedies, to

specific diets, certain processed foods and beverages.• Extremely attractive to food and beverage companies due to comparatively high

margins.

• Hemp is a cannabis variety with minimal or no THC. Certain hemp strains naturally retain medicinally active cannabinoid components. Most importantly, the plant can be grown and processed legally in the US under existing laws.

• CTC is focused on developing non-psychoactive (“no-high”) medicinal products based on US grown hemp, allowing safe treatment with no side-effects.

• CTC is developing proprietary extraction methods for the production of pure and safe medicinal compounds, known as cannabinoids and terpenes, with a specific focus on developing products for inflammatory and auto-immune diseases.

• CTC is establishing collaborations with leading plant breeders to develop improved and proprietary hemp strains.

• CTC’s strategy is to employ rigorous biopharma processes and quality controls to manufacture safe, hemp-based products and to target the nutraceutical market which offers a short path to commercialization.

Cannabis Snapshot

• The Cannabis plant has medicinal properties, similar to conventional prescription drugs, and has been used to treat ailments and diseases throughout history.

Phytocannabinoids are the naturally occurring therapeutic components of cannabis plants (cannabis sativa)

-- these are not synthetic products• Grown in almost any climate, including indoors, over 2000

cannabis strains with differing properties exist.• Phytocannabinoids are made exclusively by the cannabis plant

and have well-documented therapeutic potential.• CBD (Cannabidiol) is an abundant and therapeutically active

phytocannabinoid from the cannabis plant.• CTC aims to harness the medicinal potential of the

phytocannabinoids and terpenes made by low-THC hemp plants, to develop safe, nutraceutical products for treatment of inflammatory and auto-immune diseases.

Natural Components

• Cannabinoids have proven effective in the treatment of a wide variety of diseases and are ideally suited for rapid commercialization.

• CTC’s value proposition is to develop and commercialize safe, hemp-based products for the prevention and treatment of inflammatory and auto-immune diseases.

Therapeutic Context

Cannabinoids have almost infinite potential for treatment of a wide range of human conditions and diseases

* Any single product could become a blockbuster by itself… …if approved by the FDA… which requires time, research, trials and significant investment.

* CTC will target the over-the-counter, nutraceutical (supplement) market thereby eliminating the lengthy and expensive FDA approval process.

• Rapid penetration of the nutraceutical (supplement) market is targeted through provision of safe, high-quality products, backed by strong research and quality control.

• The US nutritional market is >$30 billion and single products can become blockbusters (e.g. fish-oil extracts, omega 3); cannabinoid-based products could generate well over $1 billion annually before 2019, with CTC contributing >20%.
