Armed with $30 million in fresh capital earmarked for cannabis investments in the Golden State, Ottawa’s CannaRoyalty says it’s purchased a manufacturing and distribution facility north of San Francisco.

“We anticipate this may lead to short-term supply disruption, further increasing the value of compliant brand players like FloraCal, to our network,” Afzal Hasan, CannaRoyalty president and general counsel, said in a statement.
