Baton Rouge, La. – Southern
University is currently in the process of finalizing its contract with
Lafayette based Advanced Biomedics, LLC as the University’s medical marijuana cultivation
and production facility operator.
Southern announced the selection of
its medical marijuana cultivator in September, but was unable to finalize the
contract due to protest.
Under the proposed agreement, the
Southern University Ag Center will receive more than $6 million guaranteed over
5 years. Advanced Biomedics, LLC will
also support research initiatives through the Southern University Ag Center’s
Southern Institute of Medicinal Plants (SIMP), which will conduct research on
additional plants and their potential for therapeutic effects and medical uses
on human health.
No
taxpayer dollars will be spent on the program.
