The problem: 

Until now, there were only two ways to get cannabis into the body — smoke it or eat it. Both options have negative side effects, aren’t convenient, and are inconsistent.

Solution: 

We developed the first and only line of cannabis topicals using a pharmaceutical technology that can deliver cannabis through the skin

First application:

Our first product line targets chronic pain and sports injuries using CBD, which is non-psychoactive.

1 in 3 people in the United States suffer from chronic pain.

We decided to start with these applications because we saw an overwhelming need to develop a natural, effective alternative to pain killers with negative side effects, like opioids. 

We’ve tested our products with elite athletes, coaches, and people who have had chronic pain for decades. 

Here’s is a sample of what they’ve had to say:

• “I’ve had knee pain every year that I was in the NBA – 16 years – but after using your CBD lotion, I don’t even need to ice my knee or take any painkillers anymore. I’ve given some to my [retired NBA] friends and they’re all asking me when they can buy the cream.” – Former NBA player (retired 2016)
• “My achilles flares up, especially when I train and your CBD product helps me recover faster so I can keep training.” – Ironman triathlete and training coach for over 125 current and former NBA players
• “I’ve had chronic neck pain for over 20 years and I’ve tried everything. My doctor wants me to try steroid injections into my neck next. But after your trying your lotion, I’m going to need a steady supply because it’s the only thing that has ever worked. Seriously, when can I get some more.” – In home trial participant, 38-year old woman, reporter 
• “After a half day of work, I have debilitating wrist and elbow pain. I’ve had it since a car accident and physical therapy didn’t help. I don’t like taking painkillers. After using your lotion, I felt immediate relief and it lasted for hours. I’ve been using it for a few days and now I don’t have to interrupt my schedule because of pain.” - In home trial participant, 44-year old woman, lawyer 
• “I often have trouble concentrating because of the pain in my back. After applying your cream, even an hour later, I didn't even notice the pain in my back. I felt like I could focus again on my normal tasks. The cream smells really nice and a little goes a long way. I know that for me, this was something that helps me get through the hard part of my day because of my back. It helps me power through the day.” – In home trial participant, 29 year old woman, Pilates teacher 

The shortest duration of relief was 90 minutes. Some people had their pain go away completely after continued use. Every single trial user felt some type of pain relief.

How it works: 

• The top layer of the skin, called the stratum corneum, is designed to protect the body by keeping harmful substances out. 

• The topicals designed by RMR Laboratories work by creating an intercellular pathway directly through the skin. The pharmaceutical technology has been shown to deliver active ingredients up to 25 millimeters below the skin in a non-toxic, non-traumatic way.

Market:

2016 was a watershed year for the cannabis industry.

Cannabis products are now legal medically in 29 states and more than 60% of the population believes it should be legal everywhere.

The industry is being driven by the health and wellness sector which will be worth $25B by 2022 with tens of millions of consumers entering the market. 

Number of people in the United States affected by:

• Chronic Pain: 110M
• Migraines: 76M
• Insomnia: 60M
• Anxiety: 40M
• Arthritis: 40M
• Depression: 16M

Product Development:

We are ready to begin production on our products to address sports injuries and chronic pain.

Future roadmap:

We are poised to meet the needs of the tens of millions of people who will be turning to cannabis to treat their health ailments.

Our skin-penetrating technology provides a platform to quickly and efficiently address new health applications as well as build depth within current product lines.

We have only begun to scratch the surface on the therapeutic effects of different delivery systems and cannabis strains. In addition to topicals, we have future plans to expand into additional health and wellness product categories. 

Competition:

RMR Laboratories has a unique position in the marketplace. 

There are no topicals that contain our proprietary transdermal chemistry to deliver the pain-relieving properties of cannabis through the skin.

Our topicals address the source of the muscle or joint inflammation rather than try to mask the pain like existing pain relief creams do. NSAIDS can cause unwanted side effects like stomach irritation. Finally, unlike opioids, our pain relieving topicals have a localized effect, are not psychoactive (in the case of CBD), and are convenient to use because they do not impair motor function. 

What's next:

Our plans are to launch our topical products to address chronic pain and sports injuries in 1Q2018.

Our first three markets for product launch will be in Colorado, Oregon, and California. We are currently finalizing pre-orders from these three markets for $2.2M in revenue in the first half of 2018.

Our exclusive partnership with Advanced Nutrients for production and distribution expands our reach into every major market for medical and recreational cannabis, both in the US and internationally. 

Our operating model allows us to scale quickly and efficiently. We centralize our research and production in California and ship the formula base without cannabis actives to each market where the end products are produced.  

Use of proceeds: 

The proceeds from the campaign will be used on three priorities: 

1. Production: Build up raw material inventory to begin production of our products ready to commercialize. 
2. R&D: Scale research and development, including headcount, to address additional health and wellness applications identified in our product roadmap. 
3. Marketing: Finalize product branding. Increase market research and user testing to determine product effectiveness and positioning. 

Meet the CEO

Mike Lui

I believe in the power of high expectations on the performance of people and teams. I believe that everyone has a ceiling that they cannot see, but if they continue to strive and persevere, that high ceiling may come into view. That's why I believe in the power of the work we are doing at RMR Laboratories. If we can develop products to reduce people's pain in a meaningful way without paralyzing addictions or side effects, then we've given them a chance to set and strive for those high expectations.

Thank you for taking some time to learn about the work we are doing at RMR. I'm proud of the progress the team has made in such a short period of time. Our first flagship CBD formulation has garnered tremendous response from our trial participants and I can't wait to make it available to all those that experience chronic pain. 

But we're just getting started, and I'm just as excited about the rest of our roadmap. We finally have the ability to use clinically valid transdermal technology to steer the healing properties of cannabis to where we need it. That to me is game-changing. 

I hope you'll join us.
