Dried Cannabis Supply from Strategic Partner Supreme Cannabis
BlissCo strategically partnered with Supreme Cannabis Company (TSXV:FIRE). In February 2018, Supreme invested $3M in BlissCo, representing approximately 10% equity ownership in BlissCo. Shortly after, BlissCo and Supreme entered into a two-year supply agreement for BlissCo to purchase 3,000 kilos of dried cannabis from Supreme. These premium dried cannabis products enable the Company to supply both the domestic and global markets. BlissCo plans to apply for an ACMPR license in mid-July to amend its sales license and also apply for export permits for international sales. The first bulk order sourced from the supply agreement is expected by the end of the month.
