Medical Marijuana, Inc. Major Investment Company Axim® Biotechnologies Files New U.S. Provisional Patent for Cannabis Gum as a Treatment for Migraine Symptoms – Yahoo Finance

NEW YORK, May 14, 2019 /PRNewswire/ — Medical Marijuana, Inc. (MJNA), the first-ever publicly traded cannabis company in the United States, today announced that the Company’s major investment company AXIM® Biotechnologies, Inc. (AXIM) (“AXIM”), a world leader in cannabinoid research and development, has filed a provisional patent application with the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO). The provisional patent application is for a patent on a chewing gum composition comprising cannabinoids and parthenolide (feverfew extract) for treatment of symptoms of migraines.

“As a company of firsts, Medical Marijuana, Inc. is proud to support AXIM as it files this patent application for the first-ever cannabis-based gum formulated to treat the symptoms of migraines,” said Medical Marijuana, Inc. CEO Dr. Stuart Titus. “Studies have estimated that migraines affect roughly 38 million people in the U.S. and the market currently lacks an effective natural treatment option for those people.”

AXIM plans to formulate a chewing gum under this invention that contains feverfew extract, cannabidiol (CBD) and/or cannabigerol (CBG) for treatment of symptoms that often accompany migraines, such as headache, pain, nausea, and light sensitivity. Feverfew has been proven to relieve and prevent symptoms of migraines.

The new formulation will be delivered through AXIM’s proprietary sustained-release chewing gum delivery technology to release active ingredients in a controlled manner into the oral cavity.

“AXIM is best known for its patent on chewing gum containing cannabinoids and our flagship CBD chewing gum product, CanChew+,” said AXIM CEO John W. Huemoeller II. “With this patent application and AXIM’s current cannabis chewing gum products currently in development, we plan to bring a variety of treatment options to the market.”

According to Grand View Research, Inc., the global migraine treatment market size is expected to reach $7.8 billion by 2025.
