SILVER SPRING, Md.,
Feb. 18, 2015 /PRNewswire/
-- IJJ Corporation (OTC: IJJP) has entered into a partnership
agreement with American Seed & Oil Company, a subsidiary of
Algae International Group, Inc. (OTC: ALGA), to build a residential
treatment facility for U.S. Veterans with chronic Post Traumatic
Stress Disorder (PTSD). The treatment protocol will include, but
will not require smoking or vaporizing marijuana but will require
that all residents participate in an education program teaching
sustainable marijuana cultivation skills.
Plans for the facility call for construction on a 100-acre
sustainable farm concentrating primarily on hemp and marijuana
cultivation where resident patient/students will have the
opportunity to practice and hone organic and sustainable farming
skills. Plans for the facility also include establishing
partnerships with other organic and sustainable farming operations
nearby the treatment facility/school where patient/students will
have the opportunity to gain experience with crops other than hemp
and marijuana.
The PTSD residential treatment facility for U.S. Veterans was
conceived by the American Seed & Oil Company, a subsidiary of
Algae International Group, Inc. (OTC: ALGA). American Seed
& Oil Company is founded, majority owned and managed by U.S.
Veterans. American Seed & Oil Company approached IJJ
Corporation based on IJJ's recent success with the innovative
partnerships to expand marijuana farming facilities in Canada and
the Michigan Plant Technologies LLC.
"As a wartime Veteran myself, I am personally very enthusiastic
about American Seed & Oil Company's plan and I am likewise
committed to seeing the plan come to fruition," said IJJ
Corporation's Chairman and President, Clifford Pope. "Based on IJJ's experience
with the partnerships that have contributed towards the expansion
of the Canadian facilities and Michigan Plant Technologies, I am
confident IJJ is the right organization to see American Seed &
Oil Company's U.S. Veteran PTSD Residential Treatment Facility
funded and built."
"American Seed & Oil Company has had the U.S. Veteran PTSD
Residential Treatment Facility in the works for almost a year now,"
said Steven Rash, CEO of American
Seed & Oil and Algae International Group, and I am also a
Veteran. "We have identified land, recruited university
sponsorship, and engaged professional social work
expertise. When we learned of IJJ's experience with marijuana
projects in Canada and
Michigan, their project funding
strategy seemed to be the right fit."
IJJ Corporation and American Seed & Oil are not alone in
their interest regarding the potential benefits of marijuana in the
treatment of PTSD. In December of 2014, The Colorado Department of
Public Health and Environment awarded a $2
million grant to the non-profit Multidisciplinary
Association for Psychedelic Studies (MAPS) for their planned study
of marijuana for symptoms of posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD)
in 76 U.S. veterans, approved by the U.S Department of Health and
Human Services.
