SMITHS FALLS, ON, April 20, 2016 /CNW/ - In the spirit of 4/20,
Tweed Inc. (Tweed), Canada's
largest legal cannabis producer, is pleased to confirm its support
for patients' rights to grow their own medical cannabis supply in
their residence. Many Canadians have been legally growing medical
cannabis in their homes for over a decade.
Tweed has been shipping cannabis to Canadians for almost two
years under the Marihuana for Medical Purposes Regulations
(MMPR). In that time the Company has provided a consistent,
clean supply of cannabis that patients can order online and have
shipped right to their door. The MMPR mail-delivery system has
proven very popular with more Canadians accessing cannabis through
the current system in its first two years than the decade-long
home-grow regime that preceded it.
"Canadians authorized to medicate with cannabis should have the
ability to grow their own supply if they want to take that on,"
said Mark Zekulin, Tweed's
President. "It's our job as a licensed producer to provide a
consistent and convenient choice for the majority of people who
will choose to purchase from a regulated source rather than setting
up a grow-op in their house. Our focus will remain on a products
and services to set us apart."
In order to maintain its award-winning customer service levels
in a growing market, Tweed is also pleased to announce it has
completed the expansion of its Customer Care Centre at the
company's Smiths Falls
location.
"There are many companies to choose from so we've long known
that the way to stay ahead of the curve is through product variety
and meaningful customer experiences. This expansion to house our
team of over 35 trained Customer Care Representatives will allow us
to improve that experience for new and existing customers,"
continued Zekulin.
Here's to future growth, at home or at Tweed.
