Puget Technologies (OTCBB: PUGE) is pleased to inform shareholders and the general public that its new subsidiary, Cannabis Biotech, is launching the development research of three new projects. Headed up by prominent international medical marijuana authority Kenneth Morrow, Cannabis Biotech's research will focus on the growing number of patients who desire the benefits of medical marijuana but do not want the harmful effects or stigma of smoking it.

President and CEO of Puget Technologies Ron Leyland said, "These research projects will showcase our value and our commitment to the industry." He added, "We look forward to expanding the body of empirical data supporting the legitimacy of cannabis as an important tool in easing suffering and reducing symptoms associated with many serious ailments."

According to a recent Pew Research report, for the first time in more than 40 years a majority of Americans favor legalization of marijuana use. Currently 20 U.S. states and the District of Columbia have enacted laws to legalize the use of medical marijuana.

CNN Chief Medical Correspondent Dr. Sanjay Gupta recently made global headlines when he changed his mind about cannabis, saying science backs the use of medical marijuana. According to an article based on Gupta's recent documentary, "WEED," there are several medical conditions for which patients can use cannabis - cancer, glaucoma, HIV/AIDS, muscle spasms, seizures, severe pain, severe nausea, dramatic weight loss and muscle atrophy.
