NTRR: Federal Court Ruling Achieves Milestone in North America’s Second-Largest Medical Cannabis Market
In a move that could spur huge opportunities for Neutra Corp. (NTRR) and others in the North American cannabis industry, Canada’s federal court significantly increased patients’ access to medicinal cannabis on Wednesday.
A federal court judge ruled that medical cannabis patients have the right to grow their own plants, reversing a ban instituted by Canada’s previous government. The ruling was the result of a group of British Columbia residents taking the nation to court in 2013, arguing that the law requiring cannabis patients to buy their medication from licensed producers instead of growing their own violated their Constitutional rights.
NTRR already has numerous relationships within the Canadian cannabis industry. Alongside its joint venture partner, Surface to Air Solutions (S2O2), NTRR is working to offer cannabis growers and other businesses a suite of horticultural technologies designed to reduce or eliminate reliance upon pesticides to produce healthy crops. The joint venture’s suite of products includes a plant stimulant, an antimicrobial hard-surface treatment and air scrubbers. Used together, the suite of products allows healthy plants to thrive without the use of pesticides and fungicides, which can be harmful if ingested. Some products are already in use by growers in the United States and Canada.
The ruling comes on the heels of new Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s pledge to legalize adult-use cannabis across Canada, as well. Economists estimate that the country’s cannabis market could surpass USD $7 billion annually. To further capitalize on the projected growth of the Canadian cannabis industry, the company formed another joint venture last month with Vancouver-based Oceanview Health Services Ltd. to help research cutting-edge topical creams, oils, salves, lotions and other products that have been infused with medicinal cannabis. Oceanview is currently preparing to debut a new brand of cannabis-infused topical products, BeKind Topicals, in markets where cannabis is legal and regulated.
