Clemens Fischer a Pharma that made billions making cannabis pain killer

Image
Clemens Fischer has never smoked pot in his life, but he believes his new experimental drug could reap billions in sales—and change millions of lives.   Clemens Fischer T here is nothing sexy  about the next big thing in weed. Vertanical, the Munich-based pharmaceutical company, is developing a cannabinoid-based extract to treat chronic pain it hopes will soon become an approved medicine, first in the European Union and eventually in the United States. The drug, currently called Ver-01, is not for stoners—each dose is low enough to avoid getting most patients high, the company says, but it packs enough low levels of cannabinoids (including THC) to relieve pain. And if it is approved, it won’t be found at a cannabis dispensary either. Instead, Clemens Fischer, the 50-year-old medical doctor who is the   founder of Vertanical, hopes it will become the first cannabis-based painkiller prescribed by physicians and covered by insurance. “I usually end up with the boring th...

Norway's Electric Ship  Norway Creates World’s First Autonomous Electric Cargo Ship Norway has launched the world’s first fully autonomous electric cargo ship. The vessel, named Yara Birkeland, runs entirely on battery power, with no human crew onboard. It navigates using AI, GPS, radar, and lidar, avoiding other vessels and obstacles at sea. It can carry over 100 containers while producing zero emissions. Charging stations at port allow it to recharge between trips. The ship is expected to replace thousands of truck journeys annually, cutting both traffic congestion and carbon emissions. Norway, a leader in green shipping, plans to expand autonomous electric fleets across its coastlines. Other nations are closely monitoring the project as a model for sustainable cargo transport.
