Hello. Good to “see” you here.
My whole career has revolved around drugs. I have studied them, diagnosed them, identified them, written about them and won over 240 FDA approvals for drugs and related devices. I started out working as Supervisor Forensic Toxicologist at the Office of the Chief Medical Examiner, New York City. Amongst the 18,000 autopsies where I performed and supervised the toxicology evaluations, a large number of deaths were caused by inappropriate use of drugs, bad drugs or drug wars.
I co-founded 2 start ups and sold them three years later. One was focused on a process I developed - a safe way to prescribe and consume methadone which revolutionized the use of methadone and which got hundreds of thousands of people off heroin and out of a life of crime. The other was based around urinary testing for drugs - which I also discovered.
Since then I have worked for two Pharma companies helping them get FDA approvals for drugs, including serving as FDA Advisor to the NIH.
I am the founding Chairman of the USA CannabisLaboratory Standards Setting Committee and the USA Cannabis Clinical Trials Standards Setting Committee. Both of these are run under the auspices of the Foundation Of Cannabis Unified Standards (FOCUS) which is is the first and only national organization in the United States to develop accredited quality and safety based cannabis standards.
You can read more about my career and the manufacturing, engineering and consulting start ups and companies I own and run here.

I have an extensive career working in every part of the drug and medical device industry. Learn more about my achievements and find out how I can help you in the future.
I am, according to some of my clients, a “serial inventor and solver of problems” and have a number of current and pending projects that are in the process of being turned from ideas into companies. Some of these have great potential for investors wanting to benefit from the legalization of the cannabis industry. If you are interested in being updated on new developments and opportunities in this industry please send an email to sgoldner@ccubed.biz.
I run advisory and consulting companies as well as a couple of young start ups in the cannabis industry. There are details of each of the companies, what they do and a link to their websites below.
I have increasingly been invited to speak about my experiences and understanding of the drug and Pharma industries and how FDA approvals are the key to successful investments in drugs and devices including in the rapidly growing cannabis industry.
