"MEDICAL CANNABIS HAS ENORMOUS POTENTIAL TO SUPPORT PATIENTS<br />

AND PHYSICIANS LOOKING FOR ALTERNATE TREATMENT OPTIONS."<br />

are an excellent alternative for these patients,” says Engel. “These extracts<br />

offer patients and physicians more precise control over dosage as well as a<br />

convenient alternative to smoking or vaporizing. Extracts are also critically<br />

important for the future of research investigating medical cannabis as a therapy<br />

for specific conditions. We currently offer both THC and CBD drops, which are<br />

oil-based products.”<br />

Engel believes medical cannabis has enormous potential to support patients<br />

and physicians looking for alternate treatment options. To better understand<br />

the possibilities, Tilray is funding clinical research to advance the scientific<br />

understanding of the safety and efficacy of cannabis as a therapeutic treatment<br />

option for patients with various conditions, and is working on several clinical<br />

trials in Australia, Canada and Spain. In <strong>2016</strong> and 2017, the company also plans<br />

to open additional production facilities in Australia, the EU and the US.<br />
