Vitality Biopharma (OTCQB:VBIO) announced the creation of proprietary glycosides of TCH. The main psychoactive chemical found in cannabis.
As quoted in the press release:

These compounds are being developed as pharmaceuticals that enable site-specific targeting of the THC in various tissues of the body, where it can exert therapeutic effects for treatment of pain and inflammation. In December, Vitality obtained DEA approval for its research and development facilities located in California, and it has now completed preclinical pharmacokinetics studies with its proprietary THC glycosides to analyze their bioavailability. The Company has confirmed that large concentrations can be delivered orally without significant transit of THC to the brain, enabling their formulation within pharmaceuticals where drug psychoactivity will be reduced or eliminated.
“This new drug opens up novel opportunities for treatment of pain and inflammation,” said Dr. Brandon Zipp, Director of R&D at Vitality. “We can now exploit the cannabinoid receptor system without systemic THC that compromises cognitive function.” Robert Brooke, CEO of Vitality, adds that, “It is THC without the high and could be a game changer, especially for treatment of indications like Crohn’s disease and for use in children.”
