Lexaria’s technology, DehydraTECH(TM), will completely disrupt and improve the consumption and delivery of oral nicotine, CBD and cannabis,” Senior Advisor Gregg Smith stated in the news release. “Lexaria’s recognition of the recent FDA recognition of certain oral delivery forms of nicotine as ‘less harmful’ to human health than combustible smoking will be a driving force of changing consumer preferences. I expect Lexaria’s technology to play a significant role in that future and I am pleased to advise the management team at Lexaria in defining our leadership strategies.”
