Going out on a limb--more views above the forest---
More about RLS Website---keeping also in mind that the trademark lists "plant extracts"----
Searched online images of redwood groves, forests, parks, trails, etc etc online today----and seems this is the site photographed for RLS' website:
www.receptorlife.com/ and www.redwoodhikes.com/Oregon/ORT.html, as well as

Long and short, this trail is along the Chetco River, not far from Vancouver, Washington.
And, Chairman of the Board of Directors of Mannkind is Kent Kresa, who has Vancouver, WA connections.
And, from Wikipedia, see below about Vancouver, WA:
The Vancouver economy is characterized by border economics with neighboring Portland, Oregon. The state of Washington levies no individual or corporate income taxes and levies a property tax below the national average and a sales tax above the national median.[37] The State of Oregon has even lower property taxes and no sales tax but one of the highest state income taxes.[38] As a result, many Vancouver residents prefer to shop in neighboring Portland where they do not pay sales taxes then live and work in Vancouver where they do not pay state income tax. (Washington residents who work in Oregon must pay Oregon income tax.) For the same reasons, the city is popular with retirees. Conversely, the city is less favored by students and young adults.[citation needed] In 2003, 70% of workers in Vancouver worked in Clark County. There is a risk in sales tax avoidance because Washington has a use tax due on all purchases made in Oregon that are then returned to Washington. Vancouver residents "shop at their own risk" when attempting to avoid the sales tax in Washington, although the rule is rarely, if ever, enforced[citation needed] except for purchases requiring registration, such as motor vehicles.
The taxation and demographics of the area depresses the retail sector of Vancouver's economy.[citation needed] Oregon has stricter development laws to protect the timber industry[citation needed]; therefore, Vancouver tends to attract a higher proportion of the region's sprawling development
And, review Mr. Kresa's corporate career, specifically at Fluor:
newsroom.fluor.com/press-release/company/two-fluor-board-members-step-down-april
Kresa and Woolsey both most recently served on Fluor’s audit committee. Woolsey also served on Fluor’s governance committee, while Kresa served on the firm’s organization and compensation committee.
And, read about Fluor. They diversify and take over something essential.
Oil has tanked, so what to do?
In particular: www.nytimes.com/1981/01/16/business/fluor-buys-shares-in-genentech-inc.html
And, finally, Oregon is center of cannabanoid research, commercialization.
marijuanapolitics.com/the-future-oregon-cannabis-research-institute/
It's a short commute from Vancouver, WA to Portland, Oregon. It's less than two hours to Corvalis, Oregon State, one the two top tier research institutes in the Northwest.
Long and short, I don't think it's the new cannabanoid companies like VeritasPharma that are funding Mannkind.
It has to be something enormous to pump in the funds.
Could it be Fluor? Is Fluor repeating its success as it did with with Genentech?
