SOURCE Abattis Bioceuticals Corp.

VANCOUVER, March 5, 2013 /PRNewswire/ - Abattis Bioceuticals Corp. (the "Company" or "Abattis") (OTC PINK: ATTBF) (CNSX: FLU), announces it has signed a Letter Of Intent for a multimillion dollar supply agreement with Cromogen Biotechnologies to purchase Cannabidiol or "CBD's" for the use of creating infused products to be sold in the US Natural Health Product Market(s). Under the terms of the agreement the CBD's being supplied to Abattis are not listed as Scheduled 1 Drugs. Cannabinoids are a group of 21-carbon-containing terpenophenolic compounds produced uniquely by Cannabis sativa and Cannabis indica species. These plant-derived compounds may be referred to as phytocannabinoids. Although delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) is the primary psychoactive ingredient, other known compounds with biologic activity are cannabinol, cannabidiol (CBD), cannabichromene, cannabigerol, tetrahydrocannabivarin, and delta-8-THC. Cannabidiol, in particular, is thought to have significant analgesic and anti-inflammatory activity without the psychoactive effect (high) of delta-9-THC. Source National Cancer Institute at NIH.

Mr. Mike Withrow, Chief Executive Officer on behalf of the Company, stated, "we are very excited to become the first company to work with a specialty raw source CBD producer like Cromogen, focusing on the emerging US "CBD" infused products market.

Cromogen's ability to supply high volumes of CBD provides Abattis with a green field of opportunities in this high growth market.
