EXCLUSIVE: DEA-Licensed Cannabis Co. Maridose To Launch Series A Funding Round At Upcoming Benzinga Conference

Maridose LLC, a company recognized for its contributions to the field of legalized medical cannabis research and product development, and one of the select few companies to have been granted a license by the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) to legally produce cannabis for research purposes, will be launching its Series A funding round at the upcoming Benzinga Cannabis Capital Conference, set to take place on April 16 - 17, 2024, at the Diplomat Beach Resort in Hollywood, Florida,

This development marks a significant shift in the landscape of cannabis research in the United States, which has been tightly regulated since 1968, with the University of Mississippi being the sole producer of legal cannabis for research. Maridose’s entry into this space signifies the end of this monopoly and the beginning of new opportunities for commercial product development and private investment in cannabis research.

Leading the scientific charge at Maridose is Prof. Lumír Ondřej Hanuš, a renowned figure in cannabis research known for isolating Anandamide, the first known endocannabinoid. His partnership with the late Dr. Raphael Mechoulam, known for discovering THC, has produced significant advancements in the understanding of cannabis and its potential therapeutic benefits. “Our DEA license provides a federally legal pathway for Maridose to partner with research organizations and companies,” Richard Shain, founder of Maridose, told Benzinga. He added, “We are excited that Prof. Hanuš’s immense knowledge is now available to researchers working with Maridose,” highlighting the potential impact on patient care both in the U.S. and globally.
