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...

 Japanese researchers have crafted a bio-gel bandage that doesn’t just cover a wound—it halts bleeding and seals it in under 15 seconds, even when the skin is wet or saturated with blood. It’s not a plaster; it’s a liquid film made from advanced hydrogel formulas that bond rapidly to tissue, offering both sealant and barrier when time is everything.   This isn’t fluff science. The gel’s roots are in clean chemistry: a low-adhesion, low-swelling alginate hydrogel derived from seaweed, blended with calcium carbonate and carbonated water. It supports healing while preventing the wound from expanding—a common issue with conventional treatments.  In essence, stitches may soon become an afterthought. This bio-gel is swift, gentle on wounds, and fundamentally designed to transform first-response care.
