The Company believes it has developed defendable intellectual property around the most efficient methods for producing THC and CBD distillate at scale within a regulated market. Nextleaf owns 15 U.S. patents and has been issued over 80 patents globally.
“Nextleaf has developed patented technology that may improve upon the medicinal properties of a natural product that has been in use for thousands of years,” said Paul Pedersen, CEO of Nextleaf. “With pharmaceutical companies beginning to enter the cannabinoid space, we believe Nextleaf’s stack of intellectual property related to the production of novel psychoactive compounds will draw a lot of attention.”

Nextleaf is pleased to advise that its wholly owned subsidiary Nextleaf Labs Ltd. (“Nextleaf Labs“) has engaged CannDelta Inc. (“CannDelta“) with respect to its application for a Health Canada Controlled Drugs and Substances Dealer’s Licence (a “Dealer’s Licence“). Upon application submission and approval from Health Canada, the Dealer’s Licence is expected to allow Nextleaf Labs to conduct a variety of activities relating to psilocybin and psilocin including R&D, IP development, production of base substance materials, laboratory analysis, as well as the sale and distribution of the substances to authorized individuals, including researchers and for its use in clinical trials.

“The decision to apply for a Health Canada licence for psilocybin follows the launch of Nextleaf’s Specialty Molecules Division, which is focused on the development and commercialization of novel psychoactive compounds,” said Paul Pedersen. “The Specialty Molecules Division leverages Nextleaf’s existing IP related to the extraction and acetylation of cannabinoids. This team has built a track record of securing U.S. patents for the extraction, purification, and delivery of cannabinoids. I expect Nextleaf to mirror some of that success with the extraction of psilocybin,” said Pedersen. “There is no better person to lead Nextleaf through the Health Canada licensing process for psychedelics than Dr. Sherry Boodram.”
