Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada -- March
19, 2018 -- InvestorsHub NewsWire -- Namaste Technologies Inc.
(“Namaste” or the “Company”)
(CSE: N) (FRA: M5BQ) (OTCMKTS: NXTTF) is pleased to
announce that its wholly owned subsidiary, Cannmart Inc.
(“Cannmart”) has received its Access to Cannabis
for Medical Purposes Regulations (“ACMPR”)
Production License (the “License”). Under the
guidelines set forth by Health Canada, Cannmart may now place
initial orders with ACMPR licensed producers. Upon receipt,
packaging and testing of the initial shipments of medical cannabis,
the Company is then required to demonstrate compliance with
standard operating procedures (“SOPs”) and other
ACMPR regulatory requirements with Health Canada. Once these
objectives have been achieved and following an initial inspection,
Cannmart will be able to book a Pre-Sales License Inspection after
which the Company will be eligible to receive its ACMPR Sales
License. CannMart believes it is well prepared and confident in its
ability to execute and complete the final steps towards receiving
its Sales License in a timely manner.
If Cannmart receives its Sales License, Cannmart will then
operate as one of the first aggregators of medical cannabis,
sourced from handpicked ACMPR licensed producers. The Company has
identified the need for a competitive landscape where patients have
the ability to access a larger variety of medical cannabis strains
and oils, without the need to change licensed producers. Through a
combination of strategic service and supply agreements, Cannmart
will be well-positioned to provide Canadian patients with access to
a wide range of medical cannabis products through the most diverse
online platform in the Canadian cannabis market. Namaste acquired
Cannmart as a late-stage ACMPR applicant, with the intention of
creating Canada’s most expansive marketplace for medical cannabis.
The receipt of the Production License represents a significant
milestone for the Company and will help to propel Namaste to become
one of Canada’s leading e-commerce retailer of medical
cannabis.
Namaste currently operates one of the largest global e-commerce
platform for cannabis delivery devices and plans to leverage its
technology and consumer data with the end goal of acquiring medical
patients. In order to facilitate growth at an accelerated rate, the
Company plans to utilize its recently launched mobile application
under its wholly owned subsidiary, NamasteMD Inc.
(“NamasteMD”). This revolutionary medical cannabis
app is Canada’s first virtual patient consultation portal to be
approved by Apple and Google to be used on both iOS and Android
devices. NamasteMD will serve the company as a patient acquisition
tool, allowing patients to connect with doctors and nurse
practitioners in a safe and secure online environment from the
comfort of their homes. NamasteMD was designed to streamline the
patient onboarding process in comparison to traditional
brick-and-mortar clinics.
With receipt of the production license, Namaste now expects to
execute on its overall vision of becoming an all-inclusive
online cannabis marketplace and creating a platform that
consolidates many of the best product offerings by the top ACMPR
Licensed Producers in Canada. Namaste believes it can now deliver
on its promise of providing patients with a true “one stop
shopping” experience. Namaste will continue creating strategic
partnerships through various agreements in attempt to innovate in
the Canadian medical cannabis industry.
Further to this news release, Namaste will host a special
edition Namaste Live420 on the Company’s YouTube channel via the
link below, on Monday March 19th, 2018 at 8:30 AM EST to
discuss and answer shareholder questions.

Management Commentary
Sean Dollinger, President and CEO of Namaste

Production License not only validates Namaste’s strategy but it

the same strategy in other legal markets where the Company has
established strong market share.”
