CALGARY, ALBERTA -- (Marketwired) -- 09/30/15 -- Maple Leaf Green World (TSX VENTURE: MGW) ("Maple Leaf" or the "Company") announces the following updates for its California medical marijuana project:
The California collective with which Maple Leaf has formed a joint venture (the "Collective") has received a commitment from a medical marijuana dispensary in southern California to buy all of the products from the Collective's first harvest of medical marijuana, expected in the quarter of 2016. In addition, the same dispensary has indicated it will place a product order with the Collective for all of its second harvest.
The installation of utility and water lines on the Company's property in California will be completed this week, whereupon Maple Leaf will make application to the county for a construction permit. Materials and equipment required for the planned construction of two cold frames are expected to arrive at the site in early October. The Company anticipates that its initial growing operation at the site will commence toward the end of October.
In addition, the regulatory scheme for the licensing of the industry has been approved by the California legislature and is expected to become law effective January 1, 2016. By virtue of its joint venture with the Collective, Maple Leaf will have preferred status in applying to the State for its own provisional license.
"We are thrilled that a dispensary has committed to take all the products from our first harvest and also has asked us to grow the strain they want for the second harvest, which guarantees strong demand for our quality products in California. We are also encouraged that California has finally adopted a complete set of medical marijuana regulations, which confirms the viability of our operations," said Raymond Lai, President & C.E.O. of Maple Leaf.
