Canna Stream Solutions

CSS is developing critical technologies for storing, transportation and processing of cannabis waste (physical and chemical). Most notably, they have filed a US provisional patent application in the chemical extraction and fractionation of Cannabinoids and monoterpenes from cannabis flower and biomass utilizing their solvent system that is significantly more efficient than ethanol. This gives CSS the ability to significantly manage costs of high throughput processing and extraction of cannabis and Hemp biomass.

Founders:

Doctors: Usukuma Ekuere, Krista Leicht, John Vidmar, and Behzad Ahvazi are the founders of CSS.

Dr Ekuere has a PhD in Plant Genetics and an MBA focused on Tech Commercialization. He has extensive experience working with companies at a senior management level.

“This is an industry breakthrough” said Frederick Pels, CEO of Gaia Grow Corp. “Closing the loop on value added Biomass as well as added value in the extraction process gives Gaia and Tru a significant competitive advantage with the implementation of CSS’ patent pending process.
