The Texas House of Representatives earlier this week approved a bill to ease marijuana restrictions^[2]. At the same time, The Motley Fool reports^[3], "President Joe Biden is in favor of decriminalizing marijuana, while Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer is ready to push ahead with full legalization efforts even if Biden isn't completely on board just yet." The Motley Fool article goes on to cite data from a recent Pew Research study, "that 91% of people in the U.S. believe marijuana should be legal for either medical or recreational use, with 60% in favor of both."

PAOG management anticipates the improving cannabis legalization horizon to benefit its ongoing CBD Pharmaceutical Development Program by easing anxiety with research partners and prospective investors that stands in the way of pursuing cannabis development interests.

Last year, PAOG acquired RespRx from Kali-Extracts, Inc. (OTC Pink: KALY). RespRx is a CBD treatment under development for Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disorder (COPD) derived from a patented cannabis extraction method - U.S. Patent No. 9,199,960 entitled "METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR PROCESSING HERBACEOUS PLANT MATERIALS INCLUDING THE CANNABIS PLANT."

PAOG is working with Veristat^[4], a contract research organization (CRO), dedicated to the clinical advance of therapies and treatments through regulatory approval.
