About Abba Medix
Abba Medix is an Ontario corporation established in 2013 to capitalize on the dramatically changing rules governing medical marijuana production in Canada. On April 1, 2014, Health Canada eliminated the ability of the approximately 37,000 Canadians currently licensed to possess marijuana for medicinal use to grow their own marijuana or have it grown on their behalf. From this point forward, these users must purchase medical marijuana from commercial suppliers licensed by Health Canada.
Abba Medix filed an application with Health Canada in November of 2013 to obtain a license to produce and distribute marijuana under the federal Marihuana for Medical Purposes Regulations (the “License”). Abba Medix has secured a 45,000 square foot facility to support its production plan and has invested over $1,000,000 in the first phase of the plan that includes 15,000 square feet of production space. Abba Medix will continue to build out the facility as production demand increases.
While there can be no guarantee as to the successful outcome of Abba Medix–s application for the License nor as to the timeframe within which such application will be processed by Health Canada, it is Abba Medix–s goal to create one of the most technologically advanced and secure facilities in Canada in compliance with applicable rules and regulations.
