Cannabis Transdermal Patches Function


Ali Shekarchian is an established presence in the Beverly Hills real estate community who has also developed a successful track record in the cannabis industry. As one of the leaders of Project Cannabis, Ali Shekarchian built up four dispensaries that were ultimately sold to Columbia Care Dispensary.

Among the next-generation products sold at Project Cannabis locations are Mary’s Medicinals transdermal patches. The 2x2 inch squares contain cannabis extract, terpenes, and eucalyptus, and are designed to discretely adhere to any venous region of the body, such as the top of the foot or the inner wrist. Worn continuously from eight to 12 hours, the patches deliver systemic relief, without the psychoactive effects of smoked or vaped cannabis.

The main benefit of a patch compared to cannabis oils is convenience, as cannabinoids are gradually released into the bloodstream. This avoids having to apply THC oils several times a day. Reasons for using transdermal patches range from improved sleep to pain relief and treating anxiety.

SCI - The Acquisition Experts

A resident of Beverly Hills, California and businessman, Ali Shekarchian, has extensive experience in real estate development. For a season, Ali Shekarchian was president of Southern California Investors (SCI), a firm with expertise in renovating distressed properties for investment.

One of SCI’s strengths is its team of agents that specializes in finding and acquiring properties for development and investment. The company has years of experience in using the trustee sale auction markets to purchase foreclosed properties, trustee sales, short sales, and direct acquisitions of real estate-owned assets. Some of its more recent projects include the Temecula Office Center, Gateway Business Park, Zevo Drive Industrial Center, and Pasadena Industrial Park.

Because of the nature of the sale, trustee sales have to be done quickly, which can make some buyers uncomfortable or unable to purchase. However, SCI’s quick and complex proprietary system can quickly identify, track, underwrite, and acquire properties at significant discounts.

This software tracks multiple properties throughout the day and performs reviews that accomplish a few activities. Some of the information that the company provides clients includes multiple automated valuation models estimates, title checks, aerial statistics, rehab and transition costs, and full property valuation.

Other services the company provides involves an agent visiting the site to perform a field review to score factors related to the property resale value. The company only makes purchases where they have complete market knowledge of the property.
