Cannmart is an online marketplace for the sale of medical cannabis, which is sourced from third-party licensed vendors. It has a strong cannabis supplier base, ranging from high-end craft strains to regular strains.

The license approval is of extreme importance to Namaste Technologies and its positive effects should be witnessed in its revenues going forward.
