Completes
Sale and Import of iMicrodose
Psychedelic Truffles into Canada
Under a Health Canada Approved Psilocybin Import Permit
TORONTO, ON - March 16, 2021 -
InvestorsHub NewsWire - Red Light Holland Corp. (CSE: TRIP) (FSE: 4YX) (OTC Pink: TRUFF) ("Red Light
Holland" or
the "Company")
an Ontario-based corporation engaged in the production, growth and
sale of a premium brand of magic truffles to the legal,
recreational market within the Netherlands, announces it has
completed the sale and import (the "Transaction")
of the Company's high-grade consumer packaged goods
("iMicrodose
Packs")
from the Netherlands to Canada under a Health Canada psilocybin
import permit obtained by CCrest Laboratories Inc. in
partnership with Shaman Pharma Corp.
The Transaction between Red
Light Holland and the Montreal, Quebec-based cGMP lab,
CCrest
Laboratories, is
the first of a multi-phase project to expand into the mental
wellness pharmaceutical sector by demonstrating a legally compliant
route for supplying raw materials containing psychoactive
molecules, produced abroad by Red Light Holland, and imported into
Canada.
"Today is another
ground-breaking, precedent setting and defining leap forward for
the entire Psychedelic sector as Red Light Holland has successfully
expanded the reach of iMicrodose packs across international
borders. As interest in novel psychedelic therapies increase on a
daily basis, we will continue to aim to take our natural-occurring
packaged psilocybin products to global markets, allowing Red Light
Holland to increase our distribution and sales channels.
The agreement with
Shaman Pharma to utilize its partnership with CCrest Laboratories is part of
Red Light
Holland's growth
strategy, complementing the international groundwork which we
established in the Netherlands, as one of the only legal sources
for producing natural raw materials containing psilocybin." said
Todd Shapiro, Chief Executive Officer and Director of Red Light
Holland. "The collaboration with Shaman Pharma, who have successfully
received our iMicrodose packs on Canadian
soil,
simply put,
is a significant day for the Company and its shareholders. We are
very proud to have our Netherlands grown Magic Truffles designed
for responsible use via education and information, in Canada.
They've arrived home and Red Light Holland continues to trailblaze
across the world."
The Transaction is performed
with the intent of exploring continued collaboration beyond
successfully completing the shipment of Red Light Holland's consumer packaged
goods under a Health Canada import permit. The multi-phase
scientific undertaking by CCrest Laboratories is planned to
perform each phase of developing viable ingredients to address the
demanding requirements of clinical trials, patient's Special Access
Programs, and the downstream supply of production-ready
substances.
"We are delighted to build a
relationship with Red Light Holland as we access the global
industry for the very best of both product supply and, with
recognition of their position as a market leader in establishing a
supply chain from Europe to North America, the ability to meet the
exacting needs of a globalized medical marketplace," stated
Alex Grenier, Chief Executive Officer of
Shaman Pharma and President of CCrest Laboratories. "Today, we
succeeded in demonstrating our strong ability to navigate the
stringent regulatory landscape for conducting international
transactions of controlled substances and setting the bar for
scientific excellence. Furthermore, through this collaboration with
Red Light Holland, we were pleased to find that Mr. Shapiro's
vision and ethic is well aligned with compatible long-term
objectives for pioneering the psychedelic therapy sector in a
manner that exceeds the most complex compliance
requirements."
Having successfully completed
the Transaction, Red Light Holland and Shaman Pharma are jointly
looking forward to pursuing the next phases in evaluating the
potential of the Company's psilocybin-containing raw materials as a
viable source for high-quality Active
Pharmaceutical Ingredients (APIs). This world-first achievement
marks an important milestone in securing a stronghold
position at
the forefront of the industry to supply the eventual manufacturing
of psychiatric drugs as well as for other scientific and medical
purposes.
