Emblem Corp. (EMMBF) Receives Health Canada License to Sell Cannabis Extracts

“Securing this license is an important milestone of our strategy to provide high quality, differentiated cannabis products, in a variety of formats. Our clients will be able to rely upon a selection of cannabis oils, including those from CBD dominant strains, THC dominant strains and strains with both CBD and THC content. Cannabis oils and related formulations provide a level of consistency and dosage accuracy that cannot be achieved with dried flower, and is a substantially more convenient and precise consumption method,” said John H. Stewart, President of Emblem’s Pharmaceutical Division. “We are very excited with the prospects this license brings, as we continue our clinical R&D initiatives towards unique cannabinoid delivery formulations, which we intend to introduce to the market in the future.”

Emblem anticipates announcing its updated product portfolio later this month, based on the addition of a range of cannabis oils, and commencing sales of its full product line shortly thereafter.
