The renowned Jamaican scientist Dr. Henry Lowe, a leader in THC studies for medical purposes, is running the company with the University of West Indies and the University of Technology jointly funding the facility.

Lowe says the plant extract can be used to treat psychosis and severe pain, as well as mid-life crises in men.
