The Province of British Columbia and several national health groups are supporting PhytoCan, a BC cannabis pharmaceutical company. On behalf of Honourable Premier Gordon Campbell, the Executive Director of BC PharmaCare Heather Davidson comments "Cannabinoids and cannabidioids offer significant avenues for medication development in a number of areas... I wish PhytoCan Pharmaceuticals success in developing products."

Eric Nash, President of PhytoCan states, "The strong endorsement PhytoCan is receiving continues to open doors for market share of our organic medical cannabis products." Bonnie Thorn, Chief Medical Officer of The Arthritis Society says, "More than 4 million Canadians live with the daily pain and disruption of arthritis. We are encouraged that PhytoCan Pharmaceuticals will be conducting extensive research into the active ingredients of cannabis, their health effects, alternative delivery methods and organic product development."

One in three Canadians will be diagnosed with cancer in their lifetime.
An estimated 50,000 Canadians have multiple sclerosis. Currently there are
more than 70,000 people living with HIV/AIDS in Canada.

Among the non-profit groups supporting PhytoCan are the Canadian Cancer
Society, the Canadian AIDS Society, the MS Society of Canada and The Arthritis Society.

Using Island Harvest certified organic medical cannabis, PhytoCan is
developing and producing a range of effective products for the rapidly
expanding plant-based pharmaceuticals market.
