Invictus’ Acreage Pharms Receives Notification of Sales License Inspection

Invictus MD Strategies (TSXV:IMH, OTC:IVITF, FRA:8IS1) Acreage Pharms Ltd. (“Acreage Pharms”) is pleased to announce that it has received notification from Health Canada (HC) that its sales license inspection has been scheduled for later in March and is anticipated to take up to three days. The Sales License Inspection is the last step prior to the issuance of a Sales License under the Access to Cannabis for Medical Purposes Regulations (the “ACMPR”).

“As there are currently only 40 cannabis sales licenses under the ACMPR in Canada, receiving confirmation of our Sales License Inspection from Health Canada is a major milestone for Acreage Pharms. I’m extremely proud of our CEO at Acreage Pharms, Trevor Dixon and our cultivation team. Their dedication shows in the high-quality flower being produced at Acreage Pharms. Our team’s ability to execute has allowed us to advance to the Pre-Sales License Inspection for which I am delighted,” said Dan Kriznic, Chairman and CEO of Invictus.

Currently Acreage Pharms has a total of 191 kilograms of dried marijuana in their vault.  Invictus’ AB Laboratories Inc. (“AB Labs”) received its amendment to sell dried marijuana under the ACMPR in January 2018.
