Karen Suber recently came into North American Cannabis Holding’s
(“USMJ”) prototype AmeriCanna Cafe located in the Dallas metroplex
asking for cannabinol known commonly as “CBD.” CBD comes from
the cannabis plant. It is a non-hallucinogenic cannabinoid
that has been shown to have a number of medicinal benefits from
treating arthritis to reducing cancer cells.
Karen had read about USMJ’s work with Puration (“PURA”) to
introduce a variety of cannabis infused consumer foods and
beverages. She was looking for something that might help her
son, Jaren Suber, diagnosed six years earlier with Pineoblastoma, a
rare pediatric brain cancer. The Suber family received news
in January this year, the Jaren’s cancer was progressing.
USMJ purchased a
City Blends Smoothie Cafe licensed
store in the Dallas Metroplex in 2015 as the foundation of a plan
to build the AmeriCanna Cafe concept restaurant. The
purchased City Blends Smoothie Cafe is where Karen came to find
CBD. Her timing could be fortuitous.
Texas is required to issue three medical cannabis licenses by
September 1, 2017 under the
Compassionate Use Act passed into law by
Governor Gregg Abbot in 2015. At the same time USMJ and PURA
have collaborated to introduce their first CBD Infused
product.
EVERx CBD Infused Bottled Water will be
officially launched Friday, March 3, 2017 at
Arnold Schwarzenegger’s Annual Arnold Sports Festival in
Columbus, Ohio.
Karen shared Jaren’s story with Troy Suddarth when she visited the
store. USMJ purchased the City Blends Cafe shop form Mr.
Suddarth and he continues to continues to work with USMJ running
the store and helping to develop the AmeriCanna Cafe concept.
She told Troy about Jaren’s
adventure at the White House visiting President Obama thanks to the
Make-A-Wish-Foundation. She shared how brave Jaren has
been and how Jaren no longer wants to pursue chemotherapy, but is
set on trying CBD. She also mentioned Jaren’s dream of
traveling to Hawaii. She sent a link to Jaren’s
GoFundMe account to raise funds for a trip to
Hawaii.
Troy was moved by Jaren’s story and jumped into action to rally
USMJ and PURA’s combined resources to do whatever could be done for
Jaren. PURA had recently entered into a business deal with
ML Capital Group (“MLCG”), a company that
happens to run luxury tours in Hawaii, and now in partnership with
PURA, is introducing cannabis luxury tours. Separately, PURA
has a joint venture agreement with a not-for-profit organization
called
Natures Comfort Meds (“NCM”).
NCM has a patented process for extracting cannabinoids form
cannabis. NCM’s extracts are being used in
trial treatments of various conditions and diseases to
include the treatment of cancer.
On Tuesday, February 28th, 2017, at USMJ’s prototype AmeriCanna
Cafe store in the Dallas Metroplex, Troy Suddarth, on behalf of
USMJ, PURA, NCM and MLCG, will present Jaren and his family with a
travel package to visit the Island of Maui in Hawaii. He and
his mom and dad will fly on
Delta Airlines and Stay at the
Grand Wailea Resort. They will be transported by
MLCG’s Platinum Tours and be invited on several
excursions around the Island. Upon their return, they will be
invited to visit one of NCM’s treatment trials for evaluation as a
candidate for CBD treatment.
