Said James A. Mish, chief executive officer of 22nd Century, “GVB Biopharma is widely recognized for the quality and consistency of its Cannabinoid extracts and ingredients.

Our compliance infrastructure will ensure that our customers consistently receive API that meets the appropriate quality standards.”
Additionally, 22nd Century and GVB Biopharma have entered into an agreement with Cannabinoid API Solutions (CAS) and Transo-Pharm for global sales, marketing and distribution of GVB’s Cannabinoid APIs.
