Patenting Cannabis Strands – The Next Level in the Cannabis Space, by Corix Bioscience, Inc. ($AHIT)

One of the major growth areas of the cannabis market is Cannabidiol (CBD). CBDs are the non-psychoactive part of the cannabis plant. In other words, CBDs do not get you high. Instead, CBDs are seen as a medical and health application that can treat a wide range of illnesses and ailments. CBD growth is forecast to continue to skyrock through 2020.

According to The Hemp Business Journal, the CBD market will be worth $2.1 billion in 2020, an increase of 700%, over 2016. Some experts say that forecast is not bullish enough. According to Greenwave Advisors’ Matt Karnes, the CBD market could be worth $3 billion by 2021, citing greater legality and application to use CBDs across the United States.

It appears there may be some logic behind Mr. Karnes’s beefed up outlook on the CBD markets. There are 22 U.S. States that allow cannabis in one form or another. If predictions are correct, then an additional six states are positioned to similarly legalize marijuana in 2017. This is great for THC and CBD producers, but with major scrutiny still on THC, CBD will continue to capitalize and become the go-to for medical marijuana.

As more companies utilize CBDs in their pharmaceuticals and treatments, the Cannabidiol market is set to be a major benefactor. After all, it is the CBDs that provide the vast majority of the medicinal qualities in cannabis.

One company well positioned to be among the top contenders in the organic and pharmaceutical-grade CBD market is Corix Bioscience, Inc. (OTCQB: AHIT).

Overview: Corix Bioscience, Inc. (OTCQB: AHIT)
Corix Bioscience, Inc. (OTCQB: AHIT) is in the developing stages of becoming potentially the largest producer of certified organic CBD oil within the United States. The company plans to use a fully integrated business model that covers seed-to-shelf, which includes planting, cultivation, harvesting, processing, and commercialization.

Corix Bioscience, Inc. (OTCQB: AHIT) currently has lease agreements on 200 acres of industrial hemp cultivation fields and plans to have around 400 acres leased by the end of 2017. The company also maintains a series of greenhouses to help expand cloning and proprietary strain development. Greenhouses are able to grow year-round, if environmental controls are in place.

Corix Bioscience, Inc. (OTCQB: AHIT) is currently undergoing a complete transformation from its old entity, American Housing Income Trust, Inc. In a Schedule 14C filing in May 2017, Corix Bioscience, Inc. (OTCQB: AHIT) announced a name change and conversion from a Maryland to a Wyoming corporation.

Tissue Culture and Deep Genetics to Develop New Strains
Being that a vast majority of the company’s cultivation fields are outdoor, there will be an offseason just there is for all other outdoor cannabis growers. However, that won’t stop Corix Bioscience, Inc. (OTCQB: AHIT)…

The company plans to develop unique, proprietary, and patent-able cannabis strains using tissue culture and deep genetics.

Tissue Culture Facility Construction Plans
On June 5, 2017, Corix Bioscience, Inc. (OTCQB: AHIT) announced it has signed a contract with Segra International, Inc. to build a state-of-the-art tissue culture facility in Nevada. The new facility will allow the company to begin making adjustments to cannabis seed cells and ultimately, its DNA. The goal is to create strains with greater production, stability, and higher yield.

These newly developed strains is what will be patented.
In addition to the 44,000 square foot tissue culture facility, the company is working on an attached 180,000 square foot greenhouse. Management says this would be enough to produce over 1 million industrial hemp seedlings, which will then be moved to the standard greenhouse in order to “harden” for a month. Then the plant is moved to the cultivation fields for full growing.
