Inc (HUGE:CSE) (OTCMKTS:FSDDF) has decided to keep interim CEO Raza Bokhari around a lot longer.

In 2005, he was awarded the 40 Under 40 Award by the Philadelphia Business Journal.
"As interim CEO, Dr. Bokhari has already navigated the company through some tough decisions, and he is rapidly advancing our strategic vision and mission to become a market leader in medicinal cannabis and cannabinoid pharmaceutical applications,” founder and executive co-chairman Anthony Durkacz said. “It was a logical and easy decision for the board to unanimously appoint Dr. Bokhari permanent CEO in addition to his role as the executive co-chairman."
FSD is focused on the research and development of cannabinoid-based treatments for central nervous system disorders such as fibromyalgia and irritable bowel syndrome.
Its shares slipped 10% to C$0.18 in Toronto and 11% to US$0.14 on OTC markets.
