Axim Biotechnologies Inc (OTCMKTS:AXIM) is a cannabinoid play in the biotech space that has been one of the top performers on the OTC in 2016. The stock has grabbed hold of the attention of traders during its advance, powering as much as 4,900% higher since mid-October in a spine-tingling explosion.
The move has been driven by the company’s advances in chewing gum delivery of THC and CBD for the treatment of pain and spasticity associated with multiple sclerosis. We have seen major moves as the company has secured both powerful funding and strong IP protection through patenting. Those are the two most important ingredients for a biotech play with good results on the way from clinical trials: you need money and IP security to make the bet pay off. So far, AXIM is on its way in all respects.
