  • Patient based delivery of medical cannabis executed with approval from both Barbados and Canadian Health Authorities.
  • This marks the fourth new country entered by MediPharm Labs in 2021, following initial shipments to Germany, Brazil and Peru.

MediPharm Labs Corp . (TSX: LABS) (OTCQX: MEDIF) (FSE: MLZ) ("MediPharm Labs" or the "Company") a pharmaceutical company specialized in precision-based cannabinoids, is pleased to announce it has completed a medical cannabis export to Barbados in conjunction with strategic partner Avicanna (TSX: AVCN).

"Our GMP platform make us the go-to partner for companies looking to access global medical cannabis programs," said Bryan Howcroft, CEO, MediPharm Labs. "As countries around the world continue to adopt medical cannabis programs, MediPharm Labs is best positioned to serve these markets as the only North American producer with a Drug Establishment License (GMP) for the extraction of natural cannabinoids."

The Company has manufactured and delivered Avicanna RHO Phyto products for the medical community and patients in the Caribbean through Bryden Stokes, an established health and pharmaceutical product distributor in the region. These advanced cannabis products are evidence-based and marketed via the Avicanna educational platform, including patient support, marketing, and training.

MediPharm Labs will continue to deliver to international jurisdictions with medical cannabis programs in place. This execution is a proof of concept for future pharmaceutical customers who select MediPharm Labs to manufacture novel and generic drugs with marketing authorization for physician prescriptions in regions like the United States and European Union.

Australian Senate Rejects Greens' Bill to Legalise Cannabis

The Australian Greens announced on Wednesday, November 27, that the Legalising Cannabis Bill 2023 was defeated in a 13 to 24 vote, preventing the federal legalisation of cannabis.

“The Labor and Coalition parties joined together to try and hold Australia back in the 1950s by blocking this desperately needed reform,” said Greens Senator for New South Wales David Shoebridge.

Shoebridge said on X that the parties “teamed up” to vote against legalizing cannabis in the Senate, “yet another example of the major parties working together to refuse any sort of progress.”
