Vodis Pharmaceuticals Inc. (CSE:VP,FSE:1JV1) provides an update on operations in Canada and the United States.
Following the investor update on March 21, 2018, the Company received a subsequent questionnaire from Health Canada on its physical security and operational plan. The Company promptly filed a response and has not received further correspondence from Health Canada. In addition, the Company has deployed Ample Organics to manage many of the record keeping requirements of the Access to Cannabis for Medical Purposes Regulation (ACMPR), has completed nearly all of the previously announced upgrades to the Delta, BC, facility, and is making additional upgrades to the physical security of the facility. Upon completion of the additional upgrades, the Company will promptly file its Confirmation of Readiness with Health Canada and remains confident in its ability to secure a cultivation licence.
The Company’s tenant, Premium Cannabis Producers LLC (“PCP”), in Bellingham, WA, has completed its first crop in the, previously announced, renovated and licenced portion of the Bellingham facility. Through rigorous environmental and contamination controls, the newly upgraded facility allows PCP to produce fully ‘veganic’ cannabis (no pesticides or animal-based products used). The newly renovated facility is also producing record crop yields: on average of 1.57 g/Watt, and as much as 1.72 kg/light for some strains.
Vodis CEO, Ivan Miliovski, states, “We are extremely pleased with the quality of PCP’s first 100% veganic crop in the newly renovated portion of the facility. Using Vodis standard operating procedures and methodologies, PCP is already producing among the highest quality product available for sale anywhere. We are excited to bring equally high-quality, chemical-free premium cannabis to the Canadian market.”
Premium cannabis carrying the Vodis USA brand is available for purchase throughout northern Washington State at I-502 licenced retailers. PCP provides regular updates on its crops and activities in Washington State via the @vodisusa social media handle.
The Company is also pleased to report that its debut at the Lift & Co Cannabis Expo in Toronto was a success. The Company used the opportunity to introduce the Vodis brand to future patients and recreational consumers, and to update the investment community on its facility in Delta, BC, and late-stage application status to cultivate cannabis under the ACMPR. The Company highlighted its turnkey operation in Bellingham, WA, the Vodis USA brand, and its ‘veganic’ growing methodology that the Company plans to implement in Canada. In anticipation of stringent advertising restrictions imposed by the forthcoming Cannabis Act, the Company plans to have a presence at all future, major Canadian cannabis events.
