Hiku’s Licensed Cannabis Producer (DOJA) Receives Cannabis Sales License from Health Canada

Hiku Brands Company Ltd. (CSE:HIKU,OTCUS:DJACF) , Canada’s first vertically-integrated cannabis brand house, is pleased to announce its wholly owned subsidiary DOJA Cannabis Ltd. (“DOJA”), a licensed cannabis producer under the Access to Cannabis for Medical Purposes Regulations (the “ACMPR”), received an amendment to its license from Health Canada to include the sale of dried cannabis, cannabis plants and seeds, effective April 6, 2018.

“Receiving our license to sell is the crowning milestone in our licensing journey that started in 2013. Becoming only the 28th independent company in Canada with a cannabis sales license under the ACMPR gives Hiku the distinct advantage of being able to showcase and establish the DOJA brand in advance of legal adult-use and retail cannabis sales,” said Alan Gertner, CEO of Hiku.

With over $27 million of available cash and cash equivalents, Hiku is well capitalized to complete its next phase of cannabis production capacity growth. The build-out of Hiku’s second site facility, the “FUTURE LAB”, is well underway and expected to be completed in the summer of 2018, expanding Hiku’s annual production capacity to over 5,000 kg of dried cannabis flower ahead of Canada’s legal adult-use cannabis market.
