"We are very pleased with the robust sales of the Dissolve Strips to date," stated Cam Birge, CEO. "Aurora's substantial share of the Canadian medical market ensures significant exposure and market reach for our products. We will continue our work with Aurora to develop new products for both the medical and recreational markets in Canada, as well as intend to explore avenues to enter international markets. CTT now truly has become a commercial enterprise and is well positioned to leverage the strength of its IP portfolio in Canada and globally."
