Vernon company gets cannabis licences

A Vernon-based company has secured licences from Health Canada to cultivate, process and sell cannabis for medical purposes.

True Leaf Cannabis Inc. is now able to begin growing, processing and selling medical cannabis at its 40-acre campus in Lumby, and to produce alternative cannabis products such as edibles, topicals, and capsules.

Company CEO and founder Darcy Bomford says it marks an important milestone for True Leaf as becoming a licensed producer helps support the continued development of their therapeutic pet care products

“Our facility is now licensed and meets EU GMP and HACCP standards. This is required for the ‘Cannabis 2.0’ market in Canada and also opens the door to export cannabis to the booming European market,” Bomford said.

During the licensing process, the company entered the pet industry with True Leaf Pet, a natural pet care brand with a suite of hemp and CBD-based pet products now sold in 3,500 stores across North America, Europe, and Asia.
