2026

Every venture so far has been about building something and seeing it through. The next is a research institute.

Its work will focus on the science behind plant-based medicine, from plant genetics and pharmaceutical-grade production to how individual patients respond to treatment.

The institute is being set up now.

Areas of focus

Plant science

Genetics, cultivation and consistency. Understanding the plant well enough to produce the same medicine every time.

Personalised medicine

How a person’s genetics shape their response to cannabinoid treatment, building on earlier work matching treatments to DNA.

Clinical evidence

Working with clinicians and universities to produce the peer-reviewed evidence the field still lacks.
