Nirvana Life completes Medsmart acquisition

Mr. Bruce Clark reports

NIRVANA LIFE SCIENCES INC. ANNOUNCES ACQUISITION OF LICENSED DISTRIBUTOR OF A PATENTED, WHO APPROVED, HERBAL TREATMENT FOR OPIATE ADDICTION

Nirvana Life Sciences Inc. has completed its acquisition of Medsmart Dispensary Inc., the distributor of a leading addictions focused herbal treatment.

Nirvana Life Sciences Inc. has completed its acquisition of Medsmart Dispensary Inc., the exclusive North American licensee for "SOSA", a patented herbal medicine designed to detoxify the human body.

SOSA is a patented, WHO-approved, herbal treatment for opiate addiction that has been administered to more than 30 million patients in Asia. SOSA is registered with the health authorities in China, Indonesia, Thailand, Vietnam, and Cambodia and has been used to treat opiate addictions safely and effectively in these countries for over twenty years. A report from the WHO concluded that SOSA can be used "safely and effectively for heroin and other opiates addiction treatment, detoxification and acute heroin withdrawal symptoms". "In addition, the side effects are minimal and tolerable". SOSA has been proven to be effective at breaking the cycle of addiction to opioids and other opiate-based addictive drugs.

Medsmart holds the exclusive license to distribute SOSA for North America with the right to extend the license to territories including Europe, Oceana, and the balance of the Americas. Nirvana has acquired Medsmart in exchange for 5 million shares of Nirvana valued at $0.10 per share.

The US Council of Economic Advisors estimate the cost of the Opioids Crisis to the US economy at more than $500 billion annually, which equates to almost 4% of GDP. In 2021, more that 75,000 Americans died of drug overdose, with around two-thirds of those deaths linked to opioids. The impact can be measured financially, with massive health care and insurance costs as well as the significant costs of law enforcement. To fully address the crisis, it has been estimated that it will require a large investment of as much as $100 billion. For many years, the pharmaceutical industry has promoted the use of highly addictive pain medications for the management of chronic pain. While these medications have been effective for pain relief, the highly addictive nature of the medications has created a problem with no practical solution.

Nirvana CEO Bruce Clark stated: "It is a rare opportunity to acquire the rights to a therapy that has such a significant track record of success." "The Nirvana project was formed with the belief that our innovations can make a difference to people affected by the opioid crisis. The addition of the SOSA product to our program brings the prospect of success much closer." "This acquisition adds a market ready product to our development portfolio and move our revenue generating projection ahead by more than three years."
