Hey Hunchback, that agreement with TGS is for consulting on oils, derivative products and branding not a US distribution. OGI paid TGS in shares for their services. TGS most likely was very influential on OGI's recent 15mm expenditure for their edibles facility. It's illegal to ship products into the US. The only company that was able to do this so far was Tilray, for some research study at one of the universities in California. They got some kinda special permission to do so.

now raised the necessary capital, secured the required real estate, and has selected the ideal
strategic partner to position OrganiGram as a major force in the emerging oils and edibles
market,” says Arsenault.

market and to partner with one of the industry’s leading licensed producers. Over the past six
years, we have proactively invested significant resources into the standardization, quality, and
reliability of our processes and products. We are very proud of the success we have achieved to
date in Colorado. Our brands and leadership have been recognized across the United States, with
TGS franchises already established in multiple states. With this transaction, we are eager to
embark on our international expansion with OrganiGram.”
