Marapharm Ventures Inc. (MDM.CN) (MRPHF) (2M0.F) (“Marapharm” or the “Company”) announced today that it has begun to assemble a strategic Management Advisory Board (MAB).

Our directive is to become a global industry leader in organic cannabis production. We are pursuing innovative and ground-breaking technologies to incorporate in our cultivation processes and practices. We are striving to provide the purest product with most effective medicinal benefit; the ability to maximize strain profiles while leaving the smallest environmental footprint.

We are extremely pleased to welcome the following distinguished professionals to MAB, each of whom bring their unique experience and dedication to the research, exploration and discovery of cannabis and its potential.

Dr. Paul Hornby , of Hedron Analytical Inc., is Canada’s Cannabis Expert. He has celebrated more than 30 years of experience studying herbs and supplements in human systems.

With a doctorate degree in human pathology, Dr. Hornby has conducted research projects with Inuit in the Canadian Arctic, fishermen on India’s south coast and Mangyan people in the mountains of Mindoro, Philippines . For the past eighteen years, he has focused his attention on cannabis, and for that time has attempted to demonstrate the efficacy and safety of the plant. By creating the first standardized natural product cannabis medicine in a capsule, Dr. Hornby has pioneered the way toward cannabis becoming a mainstream herbal medicine.

“I do not synthesize or highly purify any of the plant components, but study them together; their synergy (entourage), activity and mechanism of action.” Dr. Hornby has published numerous scientific and lay articles on various aspects of cannabis medicine.
