Patch to kick Cannabis habit being researched

The American federal government has awarded a Kentucky pharmaceutical company more than $2 million in stimulus dollars to develop a patch that will ease the withdrawal symptoms of cannabis. (from the Courier Journal)

AllTranz Inc. of Lexington will use the grant to create a patch that combats marijuana addiction and withdrawal — part of a larger body of research that has included $1.7 million in money from Kentucky investors, said Clint Dederick, the company’s President and CEO.
