BioHarvest Sciences Inc. (CSE:BHSC) recently announced it has tapped DLA Piper and GOWLING WLG law firms to assist in the company’s efforts to obtain all required compliance mandates and regulatory approvals to manufacture and commercialize cannabis and hemp products in both the US and Canada.
The selection process was led by Dr. Rhona Applebaum, Ph.D., who joined BioHarvest in November 2020 as a senior consultant. In addition, Applebaum opted to expand her role by agreeing to oversee all the cannabis regulatory affairs in North America.
Lewis Retik, a partner at GOWLING WLG, said he is thrilled to team up with BioHarvest calling it a "major disruptor in the global nutraceutical and Cannabis sectors."
“Cannabis and cannabinoids represent an important vertical for BioHarvest," Ilan Sobel, CEO of BHSC, disclosed. "With our technology, we believe we can help meet the demand for high quality, consistent and sustainable medicinal and wellbeing products."
Green Hygienics Holdings Inc. (OTCQB:GRYN) has hired David Racz to serve as vice president of global sales and business development.
During his career, Racz held several senior-level positions at companies such as Pfizer (NYSE:PFE), GlaxoSmithKline plc (NYSE:GSK) and Novartis AG (NYSE:NVS).
He also worked for SmithKline Beecham, where he managed more than 4,000 employees in 20 countries throughout Asia, Latin America, Australia, and South Africa in sales, marketing, and research and development. He brings over a decade of experience in cannabis.
Realm of Caring, a cannabinoid-focused nonprofit, appointed Nicolas Schlienz, Ph.D., to serve at its newly created research director position.
In his new role, he will co-author a study on epilepsy utilizing data obtained from RoC’s innovative Observational Research Registry.
Schlienz, a clinical psychologist, led the development of the ORR - a web-based research platform with a focus on adults and adult caregivers of dependents who are or are considering
using cannabis or hemp products for therapeutic purposes - as a postdoctoral research fellow at Johns Hopkins University.
"There are numerous obstacles to exploring the therapeutic potential of cannabis due to its classification as a Schedule I controlled substance," Schlienz said Tuesday. "Research opportunities such as the ORR expand the existing scientific knowledge base to better inform clinical decision making, and also dispels the stigma surrounding medicinal cannabis use."
