About BlissCo
BlissCo is constructing an urban Access to Cannabis for Medical Purposes Regulation (ACMPR) cultivation facility with a focus on being a high-volume packager, processor and distributor of medical cannabis and recreational cannabis when it is legal in Canada, which is currently anticipated to be the summer of 2018. It took ownership of its 12,600 sq. ft. industrial facility in Langley, British Columbia in Q3 2017 and considering the May 2017 changes Health Canada announced to the licensing process BlissCo is confident that its license will be earned shortly after completing construction in March 2018.
With an ACMPR cultivation and then a sales license BlissCo will grow and sell dried cannabis and cannabis oil to approved medical patients through its online portal and service excellence call centre. BlissCo will focus on high volume sales opportunities in the legal cannabis market when individual distribution models are established by Canadian provinces and territories.
