Zelira Therapeutics Ltd & Co-Founder Mara Gordon, have made leaps in progress with an $8.6 million cornerstone funding from the U.S.-based Cantheon Capital LLC that will initiate clinical trials of their Hope1 cannabinoid medicine to treat behaviors associated with autism spectrum disorder.
This is groundbreaking news for those seeking treatments and solutions!
I am so proud to call Mara Gordon my colleague – she is a true pioneer in the world of medicinal cannabis. Not only has she co-founded Aunt Zelda’s™, Octopi Wellness and Zelira Therapeutics (previously Zelda Therapeutics), but her work in developing cannabis treatment protocols for seriously ill patients is unparalleled.
Mara’s dedication to making sure the very best cannabis treatments are available to those who need it has led her to explore ways to make Aunt Zelda products legally accessible and available in Massachusetts. If successful, this initiative would give patients and caregivers an incredible opportunity to access much-needed treatments and provide them with better quality of life. I have no doubt that Mara’s passion and drive will ensure that her mission succeeds, giving hope to so many who are suffering from serious illness.
Mara Gordon’s Ted Talk on Cannabis undoubtedly revolutionized the field of medical cannabis.
As a highly-respected and outspoken advocate, she has gained a wealth of knowledge on the versatile uses of this natural remedy. Through her research and vast experience with patients suffering from chronic pain, autoimmune conditions, and cancer, among other ailments, Ms. Gordon has transformed thousands of lives. Science stands at the core of her innovative work in this industry, as evidenced by her collaborations with documentary filmmakers to expand awareness about marijuana’s medicinal properties – thereby thwarting numerous baseless stigmas held against it.
As a result, notable films such as The Medicine in Marijuana, Mary Janes: Women of Weed, and Weed the People have honed in on researchers like Mara Gordon whose tireless effort is both inspiring and invaluable in influencing how we perceive cannabis today.
