SMITHS FALLS, ON, July 8, 2015 /CNW/ - Tweed Marijuana Inc. ("TMI" or "the Company"), parent company of Tweed Inc. ("Tweed") and Tweed Farms Inc. ("Tweed Farms") is pleased to announce that pursuant to notification received today from Health Canada, licensed producers such as Tweed and Tweed Farms will be eligible to produce and sell cannabis oils pending the necessary inspections and approvals from Health Canada.

Until today the Marihuana for Medical Purposes Regulations (MMPR) only allowed for the sale of dried cannabis flower. With the addition of cannabis oils to the regulatory framework, Tweed will be able to significantly increase its product offering to provide a more diverse variety for practitioners and patients.

"This is a natural sign of progression in the industry and a big step forward for patients seeking access to a variety of diverse products," said Mark Zekulin, President of Tweed. "Tweed has the largest growing facilities in the country, and is ready to move expeditiously to offer its customers a diverse line of oil extracts."

 

Tweed's existing facilities are capable of housing new extraction infrastructure, and Tweed had already applied for a Section 56 exemption under the Controlled Drugs and Substances Act to conduct research on extractions. As such, upgrades are well underway to ensure availability once the necessary approvals are finalized.

"We've led the industry with availability and selection of dried products and will continue to do so with cannabis oils," Zekulin said. "We're pleased that Licensed Producers have been trusted by Health Canada to complete the extraction process. This is an important milestone for customer access."

Demonstrating Tweed's focus on product variety and reliability, today Tweed is launching:

Two new $12 dollar strains, which according to Master Grower Ryan Douglas are the best products the Company has released to date;

Collection packs of our most versatile strains; Loose Leaf product lines at a value-added $5 price point; and Our new Flagship Strain Guarantee, ensuring the availability of our core strains in the store.

Tweed's pending acquisition of Bedrocan Canada will only further enhance the Company's ability to meet customer needs with the industry's leading product variety and quality.

Here's to Future Growth.
