Vancouver, BC -- January 22, 2018 -- InvestorsHub NewsWire -- Namaste Technologies Inc. (“Namaste” or the “Company”) (CSE:N) (FRA:M5BQ) (OTCMKTS:NXTTF) is pleased to announce that Health Canada’s Office of Medical Cannabis has provided the Company with a Confirmation of Readiness (“COR”) for a license under Canada’s Access to Cannabis for Medical Purposes Regulations (“ACMPR”) for the Company’s wholly owned subsidiary, Cannmart Inc. (“Cannmart”). Cannmart is a late-stage applicant under the ACMPR for a medical cannabis “sales-only” license. Namaste plans to leverage its growing site traffic and existing consumer databases along with the Company’s revolutionary patient acquisition tool, NamasteMD.com, to become Canada’s leading e-commerce retailer for medical cannabis products.

Further to receiving the COR and as construction of the Cannmart facility nears completion, the Company is now focused on providing all additional information as required by Health Canada in order to have the “sales-only” license issued.

Once Cannmart’s ACMPR “sales-only” license is issued, the Company will focus on sourcing medical cannabis from a large variety of domestic and international producers in order to offer the largest variety of strains to its patients. Namaste’s goal is to create a simplified user experience to assist patients with a smooth onboarding process and access to the highest quality products available on the market.

Management Commentary

Sean Dollinger, President and CEO of Namaste comments: “We are beyond excited to receive this amazing news. After all of the hard work and dedication from our management team as well as our consultants, we believe we are finally poised to execute on our strategy to become the most comprehensive online marketplace for medical cannabis in Canada. Once the sales license is issued, we will focus on sourcing high-quality products from local ACMPR licensed producers with a specific focus on craft cannabis brands as we bring great value and exposure for all producers, big and small.

This is a monumental day for the Company and I’m very proud of our team and I would also like to take this opportunity to thank all of our peers in the cannabis industry who saw value in both the products and services we are able to provide and decided to work collaboratively with Namaste for the betterment of all Canadian cannabis patients. While this is an important step in our journey, we believe this is only the beginning of a transformational year for Namaste and its shareholders.”
