CannMart’s ACMPR Application
CannMart’s ACMPR Application and proposed business model are unique in the industry as CannMart has applied only to sell and not produce medical cannabis. Under this model and subject to obtaining a licence from Health Canada, CannMart would have the ability to purchase wholesale medical cannabis from other licensed producers and sell to individual patients in accordance with the ACMPR.
