48North Cannabis Corp. Receives License to Extract and Produce Cannabis Oils

“We continue to deliver on our business strategy moving towards the production of next generation cannabis-infused products that we believe will be the preferred manner of cannabis consumption for many Canadians in the upcoming legal adult recreation market,” said Alison Gordon, Chief Executive Officer at 48North. “Now that we are equipped with the license to produce cannabis oils, we expect to be well prepared to sell our oil in the adult recreational market upon approval by Health Canada.”

48North will produce its cannabis oils using ethanol extraction to meet the regulator’s strict guidelines and to efficiently and economically scale the production of cannabis-infused products in time for the next phase of legalization, expected in October 2019. Once the Company has produced and inventoried saleable batches of oil, Health Canada will be invited to conduct a final inspection to secure an amendment permitting the sale of cannabis oils.
