KELOWNA, BC, Dec. 4, 2017 /CNW/ - Cannatech is pleased to announce that it has been granted a Producer's License for medical cannabis under Health Canada's Access to Cannabis for Medical Purposes Regulations (ACMPR). The license allows Cannatech to immediately begin cultivating cannabis, bringing needed supply to the current medical market and the upcoming adult-use market in Canada.
Cannatech's license encompasses the first phase of a purpose-built 85,000 sq ft facility in Kelowna, British Columbia. The state-of-the-art facility, engineered and built to meet ISO and GMP standards, is considered one of the most advanced cannabis cultivation facilities in the world. The company expects plant growth to begin in January 2018 and anticipates having product available to sell prior to July 2018.
Cannatech has recently acquired adjacent land to support both the rapid development of cultivation capacity and the construction of a stand-alone dedicated research and development facility. Situated in the heart of the Okanagan Valley, the cannabis campus will solidify Cannatech's position as a global leader in the science and commercialization of cannabis and cannabis-related goods and services.
The Producer's License and the completion of all phases of the Kelowna campus positions Cannatech as a significant supplier to the rapidly growing Canadian medical cannabis market and the upcoming adult-use market.
