TORONTO, June 19, 2018 /CNW/ – FSD Pharma Inc. (“FSD Pharma” or “The Company”) (CSE:HUGE), announced the signing of a partnership agreement between FV Pharma Inc. (“FV Pharma”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, and Cannara Biotech Inc. (“Cannara”) effective May 31, 2018. The agreement creates the ability for the Company to become the largest indoor medical cannabis growing operation in North America. Together, FV Pharma and Cannara have a combined floor space of over 1.245 million square feet of indoor growing capacity.
Under the partnership agreement, FV Pharma will occupy over 105,000 square feet of Cannara’s 625,000 square foot facility, located 45 minutes from downtown Montreal. Similar to the ideal location of FSD Pharma’s former Kraft plant in Cobourg, Ontario, which is one hour from Canada’s largest city Toronto, Cannara’s facility is less than one hour from Canada’s second largest city Montreal. This provides the Company with the potential advantage of being able to supply two large cannabis marketplaces in Canada with virtually instant delivery access to both. The new premises will be used for the operation of licensed cannabis cultivation and/or the sale of products namely, dried cannabis, fresh cannabis, cannabis oil, saleable cannabis and other cannabis-derived products for medical purposes and, when formally legalized, for recreational purposes. Cannara’s 625,000 square foot modern and secure property is expected to be one of the largest indoor medical cannabis production facilities in Quebec.
FSD Pharma currently owns 25% of Cannara, a strategic investment that will allow FV Pharma to further expand its output capacity in Quebec, the province with the lowest electricity rates in North America. The market opportunity for cannabis and cannabis-derived products in Quebec is sizable as it is the second largest province by population in Canada. FV Pharma and Cannara will collaborate on many upcoming projects and innovations to bring the highest-quality indoor grown products to the market at the lowest price.
This is HUGE.
