Health Canada has approved two new buildings at Hydropothecary’s Gatineau facilities and granted the pot producer a licence renewal to grow and sell as much cannabis as it can store.
The new licence is valid until October 2019, and allows Hydropothecary Corp. (TSX-V:THCX) to grow as much medical marijuana as it can store, as well as removing all restrictions on the quantity of dried marijuana, oil, seeds and plants it can sell.
“An unlimited sales licence from Health Canada positions Hydropothecary for strong future growth. We are very pleased to be amongst the first licensed producers to be granted an expanded licence,” said CEO and co-founder Sebastien St-Louis in a statement.
