TWEED MARIJUANA INC. ANNOUNCES LICENSE APPROVAL OF GREENHOUSE FACILITY
OTTAWA, August 11, 2014 - Tweed Marijuana Inc. (TSXV: TWD) ("Tweed" or the "Company"), is pleased to announce that its recently acquired greenhouse facility in Niagara-on-the-Lake (“Tweed Farms”) has obtained its Health Canada license.
The license has enabled Tweed to commence growing activities in approximately 10% of the entire 350,000 square foot facility. Tweed Farms will produce the initial crop while concurrently working to expand it’s growing area and other permitted activities under the MMPR license as issued on August 8, 2014.
“I am delighted with the efficiency of the overall organization in bringing Tweed Farms into production,” stated Bruce Linton, Chairman & Co-Founder. “This is an enormous milestone for Tweed and we are proud to be the first geographically diversified, multi-licensed producer in Canada.”
Tweed Farms utilizes rainwater harvesting, water recirculation and CO2 strategies to produce medical marijuana in a very sustainable way. The entire facility will have the potential to produce up to 45 million grams of marijuana based upon expanding our licensing to the full square footage of the greenhouse.
There are currently 17 strains in production at Tweed Farms, including Bakerstreet (Hindu Kush), Donegal (Chem Dawg), and High Lands (East Cost Sour Diesel), with an anticipated first harvest in the fourth quarter of 2014.
