The Flowr Corporation (TSXV:FLWR) (OTC: FLWPF) (“Flowr” or the “Company”) today announced its FlowrRx products are now available for purchase through Shoppers Drug Mart’s online medical cannabis site, shoppersdrugmart.ca/cannabis.

On January 9, 2019, the two companies confirmed a sales agreement. This new relationship represents a major milestone in the de-stigmatization of medical cannabis’ place in mainstream medicine, and in simplifying cannabis delivery in Canada. Medical Cannabis by Shoppers Drug Mart is currently available only to patients in Ontario.

“We’re pleased to provide patients with the high quality and consistent products they seek, now with access to the world class patient care team that Shoppers Drug Mart has assembled,” said Vinay Tolia, Flowr’s Co-CEO. “Flowr’s premium medical cannabis is grown in what we believe is the industry’s most advanced GMP designed cultivation facility. This relationship is testament to our commitment to ultra-high-quality cannabis cultivation and further solidifies Flowr’s role in Canada’s medical cannabis landscape.”

Flowr announced in January that it had entered into an agreement to supply medical cannabis to Shoppers Drug Mart, creating the opportunity to significantly increase sales of Flowr’s medical cannabis products in Canada. Under the agreement, Shoppers Drug Mart will be the exclusive direct-to-patient online provider of FlowrRx products. Previously FlowrRx products were available online to patients registered via Flowr’s website.

To make an order, patients must submit a completed medical document from a health care practitioner to Shoppers Drug Mart directly to begin the process. Advisers will then contact the referring HCP to verify, then approve the patient who will be able to order immediately.
