Today, the Company is pleased to announce its newly formed strategic partnership with Pharmadrug Production GmbH (“Pharmadrug”) for distribution of Blissco’s product in Germany.
Pharmadrug will actively promote Blissco’s dried cannabis product across its expansive medical cannabis network in the German market. Pharmadrug is a private pharmaceutical company headquartered in Hamburg, Germany, and an international distributor and manufacturer for pharmaceutical products in the Middle East, Africa, and Europe.
“We are excited to partner with Pharmadrug and enter the German market.
