VANCOUVER, Nov. 7, 2018 /CNW/ - Namaste Technologies Inc. ("Namaste" or the "Company") (TSXV: N) (FRANKFURT: M5BQ) (OTCMKTS: NXTTF) is pleased to announce that the Company's wholly-owned subsidiary, Cannmart Inc. ("Cannmart"), has signed a product acquisition agreement (the "Agreement") with AgMedica Bioscience Inc. ("AgMedica"), whereby Cannmart will purchase medical cannabis from AgMedica to offer in its online platform. AgMedica is a licensed producer of medical cannabis under the Access to Cannabis for Medical Purposes Regulations ("ACMPR"), who hold a cultivation and sales license.
Subject to the terms of the Agreement, Cannmart has placed its first order with AgMedica, and will be launching AgMedica products in its online medical cannabis marketplace. Cannmart will offer AgMedica products pre-packed in 5g, 10g, and 15g allocations. The Company's goal is for Cannmart to offer patients a unique user-experience and a variety of cannabis products and strains sourced from multiple licensed producers.
Cannmart is in the process of adding new products as well as a selection of pre-rolls which will be available in each strain. With hundreds of new cultivators in various stages of the application process, Cannmart provides a platform for licensed producers to offer their products alongside those of other brands in an online marketplace.
The Company has been pleased with the initial results after launching medical cannabis sales through Cannmart, and has also expanded its healthcare practitioner team through the Company's wholly-owned subsidiary, NamasteMD Inc. ("NamasteMD") to accommodate accelerating demand for consultations. The Company is pleased to have secured an additional supply channel through the Agreement with AgMedica and is focused on developing further channels to expand on the product offering through Cannmart.com.
