More Cannabis Science Brand Extracts Successful Cancer Treatments Confirmed As Self Medicating Squamous Cell Carcinoma Patient Reports Continued Shrinking of Cancer Tumor

January 3, 2012

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Cannabis Science, Inc. (OTCBB:CBIS.OB - News) a pioneering U.S. biotech company developing pharmaceutical cannabis (marijuana) products. The Company is very pleased to report the continuing successful progress by patient who has been topically self-administering Cannabis Science extracts for Squamous Cell Carcinoma Cancer. Cannabis Science is in a unique position to evaluate the effectiveness of different formulations by working closely with physicians and patients in medical marijuana states where patients can determine the effectiveness of various cannabis-based formulations.

For example, as previously announced, this patient has photo-documented dramatic shrinkage and subsequent disappearance in the cancer tumor. We will release documentation to the public once treatment is completed and has been properly confirmed by clinical biopsy.

Cannabis Science is focused on establishing clinically confirmed data that will lead to standardized products under the Cannabis Science label, thus confirming the numerous anecdotal reports confirming the anti-cancer properties of whole cannabis and cannabinoid extracts.

Cannabis Science is committed to making cannabis-based medicines available to the public as rapidly as possible. The Company is taking multiple approaches to accomplishing this aim in the United States. The science of cannabinoids has exploded over the past decade, laying the scientific foundation for the many medicinal uses of this unique plant. Cannabinoids are a class of biologically active compounds produced by all vertebrates (endocannabinoids) the Cannabis plant (phytocannabinoids), and more recently patentable synthetic compounds produced by chemists. Today’s modern peer-reviewed science supports the many historical uses that were discovered over thousands of years of medicinal use by herbalists.

Cannabis Science, in conjunction with several Colorado-licensed dispensaries and physicians, consults with a number of cancer patients who were seeking to inform themselves of the current peer-reviewed scientific literature, regarding modern and historical use of cannabis preparations for treating cancers so that they can make informed decisions regarding their self-directed, self administered cancer treatment.

The first two Cannabis Science Brand Formulations, Cannabis Science CT-1 and Cannabis Science MT-1 are now available at both Cannabis Therapeutics and Marisol Therapeutics exclusively for Colorado State licensed medical marijuana patients.

Cannabis Science MT-1: Produced by Marisol Therapeutics: A family-owned shop, Marisol Therapeutics was founded to assist medical marijuana patients in obtaining medical marijuana in Colorado.

They recommend medical marijuana from their own experience with unrelenting and previously untreatable pain. “We understand, we care, we want you to heal.” Marisal Therapeutics has produced a custom blend of but is derived from their proprietary strains that were developed over 30 years by a Native American Vietnam veteran in order to address his medical needs. Cannabis Science CT-1 has been analyzed and shown to be free of insecticides and molds. The product is produced in soil under organic roof conditions.
