Only after accomplishing these objectives followed by an initial scrutiny, Cannmart can book a pre-sales license inspection after which the company will be qualified to get its ACMPR sales license.

Cannmart is going to be one of the first aggregators of medical cannabis, sourced from select ACMPR licensed producers, if it receives the sales license. The company is well placed to cater to the Canadian patients with variety of medical cannabis products through their diverse platform.
“We are very proud to have met our goal of receiving our ACMPR medical cannabis Production License from Health Canada as we look to explore the tremendous opportunities that exist in the Canadian cannabis market. While we are excited with this achievement, management remains highly focused on completing the final protocols set forth by Health Canada and plan on executing the final steps towards receiving our ‘sales only’ license. If the sales license is received, we fully intend on leveraging our data and technology through our global network of operations where we believe we will be well-positioned to implement the same strategy in other legal markets where the Company has established strong market share,” said Sean Dollinger, President and CEO of Namaste Technologies.
