Benchmark Botanics Inc. (CSE:BBT) (OTC Pink:BBHKF) (FSE: BBW) (the “Company” or “Benchmark”) is pleased to announce it has been issued a License To Import by Health Canada.

This import license allows Benchmark, through its 100% owned subsidiary Potanicals Green Growers, access to a wide variety of genetics and strains for production. With this permit in hand, Benchmark executed a purchase order on July 11, 2018, with Dutch Passion from the Netherlands to import over 200 seeds representing 70 different strains.

The medical profile of these strains range from very high-Cannabidiol (CBD)/low-THC, to high-THC/low-CBD, 1:1 THC:CBD strains. This is expected to provide the Company with a number of production options to fulfill expected current and future market demand following receipt of a license to sell.

“With the recent announcements regarding legalization of Marijuana in Canada, this license to import will allow us to further develop our product catalogue. It is a great step forward,” states Mr. Zhang Johnson, CEO of Benchmark.
