Access to multiple cannabis product offerings through single
online store to transform market
SMITHS FALLS, ON, March 29, 2017 /CNW/ - Canadian medical cannabis
users are about to have a better way to shop for their medicine.
Starting in early April, 2017, Tweed's new online store, Tweed Main
Street, will be the go-to place for the over 50,000 Canadians who
are registered with Tweed Inc. ("Tweed"), Bedrocan Canada Inc.
("Bedrocan Canada") and Mettrum Health Corp. ("Mettrum"), three of
Canada's most established cannabis
brands.
Canopy Growth Corporation (TSX: WEED) ("Canopy Growth" or the
"Company") owns and operates all three companies (along with
licensed producers Tweed Farms Inc. and Agripharm Corp.), which are
individually licensed to produce and sell cannabis under Health
Canada's Access to Cannabis for Medical Purposes Regulations
(ACMPR). Until now, customers have been required to choose a
single producer, register with that producer and shop online based
on that single producer's availability. With the introduction of
Tweed's Tweed Main Street store, all our registered customers will
now access the full product catalogues of three of the largest and
most recognized producers in one convenient online location.
"We look at this as a transformative shift in the market," said
Mark Zekulin, President, Canopy
Growth. "From doctors to patients to virtually every stakeholder in
the sector, we have heard continually that variety, reliability and
consistency, matched with high quality products and top customer
care are essential. Bringing the sector's three leading producers
into a single online marketplace is the most important thing we can
do to serve our clients."
With many sector firsts, including the first public listing, the
first diversified production platform, the first to introduce CFPC
Mainpro accredited CMEs across Canada, the first to legally sell seeds for
home-grow production, the first to export Canadian medical
marijuana to Germany, and the
establishment of Canopy Health Innovations to invest in clinical
research, Canopy Growth has been leading the way forward in this
exciting sector since day one. It is our privilege to introduce
another first: serving tens of thousands of Canadians from a single
legal access point, leveraging an unparalleled production platform
and unwavering commitment to service, variety and product
safety.
Here's to Future Growth.
