MMJ International Holdings (搜索) has completed development of pharmaceutical-grade soft-gel cannabinoid capsules that meet FDA requirements for clinical trials, positioning the company to advance medical cannabis research immediately.

President Trump's Executive Order directing the expansion of medical marijuana research has positioned MMJ International Holdings (搜索) as one of the few U.S. companies immediately ready to advance pharmaceutical-grade cannabinoid development under federal oversight. The December 18, 2025 White House announcement, titled "President Donald J. Trump Is Increasing Medical Marijuana and Cannabidiol Research," coincides with MMJ's completion of FDA-ready pharmaceutical soft-gel cannabinoid capsules.
Regulatory Framework Transformation
The Executive Order directs the Attorney General to expedite marijuana's rescheduling to Schedule III while instructing the Department of Health and Human Services to modernize research standards. According to the White House Fact Sheet, the current regulatory framework leaves six million registered patients and 30,000 practitioners without standardized prescribing guidance due to the absence of FDA-approved cannabinoid medicines.
The Order acknowledges that marijuana has "currently accepted medical use" and identifies the lack of FDA approval as a primary barrier to patient care. This regulatory shift prioritizes FDA-approved drug development, standardized reproducible final dose forms, controlled non-smoked delivery systems, and rigorous safety and efficacy trials.
Pharmaceutical Development Readiness
MMJ International Holdings (搜索) has spent nearly a decade developing pharmaceutical-grade cannabinoid medicines under federal law, positioning itself to meet the new regulatory priorities. The company has manufactured final dose form soft-gel capsules containing standardized, plant-derived cannabinoid active pharmaceutical ingredients that meet pharmaceutical GMP standards.
The company's development program includes validated batch-to-batch reproducibility consistent with FDA pharmaceutical requirements, completed formulation stability and quality testing required for clinical trial material, and prepared FDA IND-ready clinical trial supply awaiting Agency authorization.
Clinical Trial Infrastructure
MMJ operates within the federal regulatory framework through FDA-reviewed IND programs, Orphan Drug Designation for Huntington's Disease (搜索), and DEA-licensed laboratory operations. The company's soft-gel capsules are designed specifically for FDA-regulated clinical trials, addressing the type of standardized medicine contemplated by the Executive Order.
"Today's Executive Order confirms what patients and scientists have long known: cannabis medicine must be studied as medicine," said Duane Boise, President & CEO of MMJ International Holdings (搜索). "MMJ has already completed development of a final dose form, validated, reproducible cannabinoid soft-gel capsule suitable for FDA-regulated clinical trials. The science is ready. The medicine is ready. We now await final FDA authorization to move forward and provide a lifeline to patients suffering from Huntington's Disease (搜索) and Multiple Sclerosis (搜索)."
Market Impact and Patient Access
The regulatory transformation addresses a significant gap in medical cannabis access, with the White House recognizing that current state-legal retail products do not provide the standardized guidance needed for medical practice. MMJ's pharmaceutical development program directly targets this deficiency by focusing on drug-grade formulations rather than retail cannabis products.
Through its subsidiaries MMJ BioPharma Cultivation (搜索) and MMJ BioPharma Labs (搜索), the company advances standardized final dose form soft-gel capsule formulations targeting serious neurological and medical conditions, positioning itself to serve patients requiring precise dosing and consistent therapeutic outcomes.
