WeedMD Inc. (TSX-V:WMD) (OTC:WDDMF) (FSE:4WE) (“WeedMD”), is pleased to announce it has entered into an agreement with the Alberta Gaming, Liquor & Cannabis Commission (“AGLC”) to supply the province with high-quality, branded cannabis products for sale in Alberta’s adult-use market.
“We’re proud that the AGLC has selected WeedMD as a cannabis supplier to join its network as it looks to establish a cannabis framework for its adult-use markets,” said Keith Merker, Chief Financial Officer of WeedMD. “This represents a strategic partnership as we look to expand our product reach across the country to support Canada’s legal adult-use market. Alberta’s high standards align with the highly-regarded quality of our cultivation standards, product portfolio, and commercial practices as we look to meet the expected demand of this new market.”
WeedMD will supply the Alberta market with cannabis products starting the first day of legal sales. This agreement represents a key milestone in WeedMD’s strategic plan to develop a national distribution platform for the Company’s medical and adult-use products, building upon the recent announcement of WeedMD’s supply agreement with Shoppers Drug Mart1. WeedMD is actively working with provincial distributors, regulators, and retailers to expand its adult-use distribution program, particularly as the Company completes the final stages of its 220,000 sq. ft. greenhouse retrofit within its 610,000 sq. ft greenhouse facilty in Strathroy, Ontario.
