Nextleaf Solutions Ltd (CSE: OILS) (OTC: OILFF) (FSE:L0MA) said Monday it has signed an agreement to acquire intellectual property of water-soluble cannabinoid formulations.
The technology relies on Health Canada approved food grade emulsifiers, the company said. These water-soluble cannabinoids are known for fast onset and being shelf stable.
"This nanotechnology increases onset time from over 90 minutes to less than 10 minutes when consuming cannabinoids in a beverage. We believe this represents a quantum leap for the industry, as fast onset is a pre-requisite for mass market acceptance of THC and CBD infused drinks," said Paul Pedersen, CEO of Nextleaf Solutions.
The Future Of Nextleaf
Ryan Ko, Chief Technology Officer of Nextleaf Solutions also commented on the intellectual property.
"This is a cannabis specific innovation built on proven and validated food and beverage technology.The technology and formulation allow for versatile application into hot or cold liquids, semi-solid, or solid mediums. Homogeneity is crucial for a reliable consumer experience so that every bite or sip delivers a consistent amount of cannabinoids," he said.
