Namaste Technologies is building a unique, one-stop-shop marketplace for cannabis by leveraging its e-commerce capabilities and existing database of Canadian medical cannabis consumers, complemented by the acquisition of cannabis distributor CannMart Inc. in April 2017 and the launch of NamasteMD in early 2018. While the CannMart acquisition enables the purchase of cannabis from wholesale producers and reselling to online customers, the NamasteMD platform enables onboarding of patients through online prescription/consultation. The marketplace will also act as a key platform to sell its medical cannabis delivery systems, including vaporizers and other hardware. Note that Namaste Technologies already sells its vaporizers on Aurora Cannabis Inc’s website under the Exclusive Hardware Supply Agreement that was struck late 2017.

Post the news release, shares of Namaste Technologies rose marginally (2.1%) to $1.43 on the TSXV. Namaste Technologies currently trades at a market cap of $405 million, or 23.0x its TTM sales of $18.0 million.
