onnecticut-based CT Pharma,
one of the four original
companies to receive medical
cannabis cultivation licenses in the
state, made headlines in 2019, when
it became the first state-licensed
operator approved by the U.S. Food and
Drug Administration to grow cannabis
to be used in an FDA-approved study.
Until then, the cannabis flower and oil
used in FDA-approved studies had been
grown at the University of Mississippi
(the sole federally approved grower
in the United States until recently),
produced synthetically or imported.

approved study), that's what makes
it unique, " said Rino Ferrarese,
CT Pharma's president as well as
executive vice president of the north
region for Illinois-based Verano
By Omar Sacirbey
Holdings. A Chicago-based multistate
operator, Verano acquired CT Pharma
in late 2021.
When interviewed by MJBizMagazine
in early 2020, Ferrarese predicted
that the study would result in an
FDA-approved tablet that would be
on the market by 2025. The COVID-19
pandemic greatly delayed the study,
but researchers finished the first
phase and are now recruiting subjects
for the second.

Pharma could have an FDA-approved
