ETST and its wholly owned subsidiary, Cannabis Therapeutics, Signs Joint Venture with Smart Medicines GMP for the Development of its Cannabis Cannabinoid-Based Drugs & Nutraceuticals 

Hollywood, Feb. 14, 2017 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Earth Science Tech, Inc. (OTC PINK: ETST) ("ETST" or "the Company"), an innovative biotech company focused on hemp cannabinoid research and development, through its wholly owned subsidiary, Cannabis Therapeutics, Inc., recently signed a joint venture with Smart Medicines GMP, which will allow the companies to explore synergies in researching and developing new CBD-based nutraceuticals and pharmaceutical compounds based on Earth Science Tech’s International Application (PCT) for its Provisional Patent named “Cannabidiol Compositions Including Mixtures and Uses Thereof” which was filed on October 8th, 2015 in regards to its Cannabis Hemp CBD (Cannabidiol) Oil.

Smart Medicines is equipped with a state-of-the-art laboratory and research facilities with high tech equipment and botanical extraction units. Smart Medicines will focus heavily on the research and development tasks associated with new product development. This partnership will help position Cannabis Therapeutics to be a global leader in the cannabis industry and in cannabinoid research and development. Cannabis Therapeutics’ imminent new developments and efforts have the potential to expedite our numerous upcoming cannabis cannabinoid-based therapeutic products to help aid people with certain conditions and disorders worldwide, in the later part of 2017. We are focused on cannabinoid-based therapeutic drugs, functional foods and nutraceuticals (retail consumer markets worldwide).

Smart Medicines is run by Dr. Domenico Fuoco, who recently joined the Advisory Board of Cannabis Therapeutics, Inc. (an Earth Science Tech subsidiary). Dr. Fuoco has over 16 years of extensive experience in developing innovative solutions for the pharmaceutical and nutraceutical industries in addition to his current status as a professional formulator. Dr. Fuoco and company’s expertise are expected to be of great benefit to Earth Science tech in its new product creation. View Dr. Fuoco’s full biography below.

Smart Medicines and Earth Science Tech have close ties with CQIB (http://www.cqib.org/home.html), a biotech and life sciences incubator. They will work closely with CQIB to improve upon and further develop their patents while developing a stronger product portfolio. This relationship will further provide both companies access to top-of-the-line research and development equipment and laboratories to provide the most accurate of results.

“We are excited to be getting so heavily involved with Dr. Domenico Fuoco and his company, Smart Medicines GMP,” said CEO Michael Aube, “We are working hard to establish a new line of strong nutraceutical and other CBD-based products, and we think this joint venture will be very lucrative for all parties.”

Cannabis Therapeutics will work with Smart Medicines to invent and launch two new cannabinoid-based pharmaceutical drugs and three new advanced cannabinoid-based nutraceutical products using Earth Science Tech’s existing Cannabis CBD patent, IP, inventions, technology, and future technology.

Cannabis Therapeutics’ primary goal is to discover solutions for conditions for which there is presently no effective treatment as well as other medical disorders with the application of known and novel cannabis cannabinoid-based products. Some of the R&D that Cannabis Therapeutics will target will be treatments for the conditions and disorders of: Pain, Chronic Pain, PTSD, Breast Cancer, Brain Cancer, Anxiety, Depression, Glaucoma, Crohn’s disease, Fatty Liver Diseases, Diabetes, Parkinson' s Disease, Alzheimer's Disease, Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), and Drug Addictions among other things.

ETST has chosen to target diseases for which, the benefits of Cannabinoids and/or CBD (Cannabidiol) have already been demonstrated by different groups of researchers around the world. However, it is through ETST’s in vitro study with the University of Central Oklahoma and DV Biologics that results confirm the positive effectiveness of Earth Science Tech’s CBD (Canabidiol) on breast cancer, immune cell function, and human brain cells by acting as a neuroprotectant as shown in its International Application (PCT) for its Provisional Patent. Thus, as a result by mixing natural molecules and generic pharmaceutical drugs with Cannabinoids and/or CBD (Cannabidiol) we intend to increase the effectiveness of Cannabinoids and/or CBD (Cannabidiol) and improve the treatment of different diseases.
