WeedMD Inc. (TSXV:WMD) (“WeedMD” or the “Company”), a federally-licensed producer and distributor of medical cannabis, is pleased to announce that it has launched the sale of medical cannabis oil to its growing registered patient base.

“Having taken the time to understand the needs of our patient base and market demand, we developed two unique brand of cannabis oil that are now for sale to our patients and to the seniors’ institutional market,” said Bruce Dawson-Scully, CEO of WeedMD. “Our suite of products now includes dried flower as well as cannabis oils called EntourageTM and AxisTM by WeedMD. We’ve also developed a unique awareness platform that, in addition to providing ease of access to our oil products, includes our proprietary education program to foster product awareness and cannabis education – all integral components of rolling out our robust medical cannabis oil strategy.”

“We’ve developed and perfected our oil products with the concept of whole plant medicine; utilizing the full spectrum of therapeutic compounds that cannabis has to offer and allowing more of the cannabinoids, terpenes, and flavonoids to be present for a wide range of health benefits,” said Dr. Luc Duchesne, Chief Scientific Officer, WeedMD. “Taking the time to develop specific dilutions and concentrations in a dose-controlled consumption manner is significant to our patient community and medical partners.”

Having secured a license from Health Canada on December 1, 2017 to sell cannabis oils, WeedMD’s product offerings include two cannabis oil platforms called EntourageTM (for patients registered under the Access to Cannabis for Medical Purposes Regulations program, “ACMPR”) and AxisTM (for the seniors’ care market):

AXISTM is a unique line specially formulated to meet the needs of seniors, offering consistent concentrations that permit medical practitioners to easily convert dosages from synthetic cannabinoid medications.
