Segra Enters "Active Review" with Health Canada for its ACMPR Application

VANCOUVER, March 27, 2018 /CNW/ - Segra International Corp. ("Segra" or the "Company) is pleased to announce that its application to produce cannabis under Health Canada's Access to Cannabis for Medical Purposes Regulations ("ACMPR"), through its wholly-owned subsidiary Segra Biogenesis Corp., has progressed to "active review" status. This progress places the Company in the final stage of the ACMPR application process, which precedes the issuance of a license allowing Segra to produce and sell micropropagated cannabis plantlets.
