The recent partnership between Luminor Medical Technologies Inc. (CSE: LMT), soon to be called RISE Life Science Corp., and Constance Therapeutics takes aim at two large and growing markets: legal cannabis products and sexual health. The companies have agreed to develop and market cannabis-based sexual health products, starting this year in California.
California’s cannabis revenue is projected to reach $3.7 billion in 2018 and rise to $5.1 billion in 2019, according to BDS Analytics. These revenues are poised to continue to grow as the market matures and more dispensaries and cultivation operations come online. Meanwhile, according to Grand View Research, the U.S. sexual wellness market is projected to reach $8.8 billion by 2025, driven by the aging population and the introduction of new and innovative products.
Let’s take a look at just what these two companies have planned and why it merits attention.
Constance Therapeutics is a Force in the Cannabis Industry
Constance Therapeutics (CT) was founded by Constance Finley. Her own experience with an autoimmune disease, and the negative side effects from pharmaceuticals intended to treat the disease, led her to successfully investigate and use cannabis as an alternative treatment. As a result, she founded the company and focused on creating standardized, whole plant cannabis extracts based on the documented ‘Entourage Effect’ of the cannabis plant. In essence, the Entourage Effect means that active ingredients in cannabis, like cannabinoids and terpenes, are more effective when working in conjunction with the entire chemical profile of the plant than they are in isolation.
The company, and the founder, have enjoyed tremendous success and have earned widespread respect throughout the industry. Constance Therapeutics was the first company in California to professionalize and standardize cannabis formulations for medicinal use, and recently became the first cannabis extraction producer to be awarded a manufacturing permit in the city of San Francisco. Ms. Finley herself was recently appointed to the Scientific Advisory Board of Canna Tech, a high-level, three day event series featuring the biggest thought leaders and market disruptors in medical cannabis across the globe.
Constance Therapeutics’ commitment to quality and consistency runs through the whole operation, from sustainable farming practices, to genetic consistency, to patent-pending extraction, to third-party testing of extracts, to adherence to pharmaceutical-grade best laboratory practices.
RISE and Constance Therapeutics Partner
RISE Life Science has focused on developing botanical formulations to support adult sexual health and wellness. It has a patent-pending cannabis-based formulation that lies at the heart of the CT partnership. Under the terms of the deal, RISE will build and manage a retail sales and distribution channel for both CT and RISE products in California, as well as deploy a direct sales team to sign top-tier dispensaries. CT will leverage its new research and development and manufacturing facility in San Francisco to mass produce a line of sexual health and wellness products under license to RISE to be sold through these channels. RISE expects to have a network of at least 240 dispensaries up and selling by the end of 2018.
“Constance Therapeutics represents an evidence-based process. Her company has been focused on producing scientifically derived cannabis products for the past 10 years — everything that goes through her process is completely vetted. The botanicals that are used are not haphazard; they’ve actually been tested for efficacy and for their ability to work well with cannabis components,” said RISE Life Science CEO Anton Mattadeen.
“Constance brings a solid scientific base to the formulations that we are creating — she’s making those products better and it places us in the position where we can have constant improvement as we go through the process.”
Looking Ahead
Luminor Medical Technologies Inc. (CSE: LMT) represents a compelling investment opportunity within the burgeoning cannabis industry. After partnering with Constance Therapeutics, the company is uniquely positioned to scale into California’s market with a focus on the sexual health and wellness segment of the market.
