VANCOUVER, British Columbia, Jan. 04, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — The Yield Growth Corp. (CSE:BOSS) announces that it has engaged Incanco Cannabis Consultants to assist in the development of plans and the preparation of applications for a micro-processing license, a research licence and a medical sales licence under the The Cannabis Act for Yield Growth and its subsidiaries.
Yield Growth plans to apply for these licenses so it will legally be able to infuse its full line of wellness products with Cannabinoids, including in particular CBD and THC, and sell them in Canada. Health Canada has proposed regulations for cannabis edibles, extracts and topicals which are expected to be adopted into law in October 2019. Yield Growth intends to be a leader in this new industry.
Incanco’s principal, John W. Conroy, Q.C., is one of Canada’s leading experts on cannabis law with over 40 years’ experience in the area. Mr. Conroy has been at the forefront of cannabis legalization in Canada. He incorporated the National Organization for the Reform of Marijuana Laws (NORML) in Canada in 1977 and has been a member of the USA NORML Legal Committee since the mid-1970s. He incorporated the BC Compassion Club Society in 1997 and has served as its General Counsel ever since. He has appeared in the courts at all levels on Cannabis issues, including the Supreme Court of Canada and was lead counsel in the recent medical marijuana case, Allard v Canada, where the Federal Court of Canada declared the previous medical marijuana regulations to be unconstitutional and led to the current Access to Cannabis for Medical Purposes Regulations (ACMPR) now under the Cannabis Act. His input was sought and provided at the federal and provincial levels regarding the legalization of cannabis in Canada, and he appeared as a witness before the Federal Parliamentary Standing Committee on Health regarding Bill C-45 The Cannabis Act 2017, which subsequently became law on October 17, 2018.
“We are extremely pleased to engage John Conroy to bring our cannabis topicals to market in Canada,” says Penny Green, CEO of Yield Growth, “We anticipate that with his expertise, we will be able to secure a micro-processing license.”
Incanco Cannabis Consultants has also been engaged to assist in finding international opportunities for Yield Growth and to assist in developing a plan to launch a hemp root oil extraction and production facility. As consideration for entering into the agreement, Yield Growth issued Incanco Cannabis 200,000 units, each unit consisting of one share and one warrant to purchase another share at $0.34. The agreement is for a five year term. Additional compensation is payable to Incanco throughout the term.
