True Leaf looks to get cannabis products in stores nation-wide

A Vernon-based cannabis company is looking to get its products into stores across Canada.

True Leaf Brands Inc. has applied to Health Canada for an amendment to its standard processing license for the sale of dried cannabis. The amended license would allow True Leaf to sell its craft cannabis products directly to medical patients and retail distributors nationwide.

“We are meeting the corporate milestones set out in our strategic plan and ramping up cannabis operations at True Leaf,” said Darcy Bomford, CEO of True Leaf. “This amendment will provide True Leaf with additional sales channels, expanding our reach beyond the B2B wholesale marketplace to the lucrative recreational retail market. I am thrilled to report we are closer than ever to seeing True Leaf cannabis on store shelves.”

True Leaf, which has growing and other facilities on industrial land in Lumby, recently completed its first harvest of small-batch craft cannabis. The company says the batches exceeded quality expectations for potency and purity without the use of pesticides or gamma irradiation.
