PR Newswire - PRF - Tue Dec 15, 10:52AM CST

PHILADELPHIA , Dec. 15, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Zelira Therapeutics Ltd (ASX:ZLD, OTCQB:ZLDAF), a global leader in the development of clinically validated cannabis medicines, is pleased to announce it has entered into a binding licensing agreement with Alternative Solutions, a licensed grower, manufacturer and distributor of medical cannabis products in the District of Columbia ( Washington DC ). Under the agreement, Alternative Solutions will produce and distribute the HOPE™ line of products, Zelira's top-selling treatment developed for autism patients, throughout the legal DC medical cannabis market beginning in Q2 2021.

Alternative Solutions will produce and distribute the HOPE™ line, Zelira's product developed for autism patients.

"Alternative Solutions is a leader in the DC medical cannabis market, and we couldn't have a better partner to launch HOPE™ in the nation's capital," says Dr. Oludare Odumosu , CEO & Managing Director USA for Zelira. "We are particularly excited about this partnership because Washington DC's MMJ reciprocity will allow legal access of HOPE™ to more patients across the country than ever before."

Washington DC has reciprocity with 32 other states in the US with approved medical cannabis programs. This expands access to patients registered in those states, as they are able to legally purchase medical cannabis products at an approved dispensary in Washington DC . HOPE™ is currently available in Pennsylvania , through an exclusive license agreement with Ilera Healthcare, and in Louisiana , through an agreement with Advanced Biomedics LLC.

"Alternative Solutions is thrilled to be partnering with Zelira to bring the HOPE™ product line to the Washington DC medical cannabis market," says Matt Lawson-Baker , Alternative Solutions CEO. "Access to this medicine in the nation's capital will provide patients and their families the treatment they deserve through a legal regulated medical cannabis program."
