Cannabinoid Research and Development (CRD), a joint venture between United Cannabis, Bubbleman, and Johnny B to establish legal cannabis operations in Jamaica. Goals include preserving original Jamaican landrace strains, building extraction labs, and developing cannabinoid medicines.
// From the Episode
Bubbleman announces the CRD partnership in Episode 002, reading the official press release about the 50% ownership partnership with United Cannabis. He describes his role as building the extraction lab and explains that CRD aims to restore degraded Jamaican landrace strains after 50 years of uncontrolled cultivation. Tony Verzura and Ernie Blackman of River Rock are the United Cannabis partners. The project is publicly traded, so Bubbleman is careful about insider trading implications.
