Dr. Mitra said “I am drawn to Novel’s model of bringing together the best of standard and novel therapies. Having treated patients with a full range of conditions that could benefit from medicinal cannabis, including pain, anxiety, sleep, neurological and obviously cancer-related symptoms I have seen firsthand the benefits this approach can provide.
