CannabCo's Odourless Cannabis Goes From Headline-Making Innovation to More Than 300 Ontario Retail Locations

CannabCo's Odourless Cannabis Goes From Headline-Making Innovation to More Than 300 Ontario Retail Locations

Once considered an improbable innovation, CannabCo's Odourless Cannabis is establishing a distinct new retail category

Toronto, Ontario--(Newsfile Corp. - October 1, 2026) - CannabCo Pharmaceutical Corp. ("CannabCo" or the "Company") announced today that its Odourless OG product is now stocked, ordered or being onboarded by more than 300 licensed Ontario cannabis retailers, only months after its Ontario launch.

What began as a headline-making Canadian cannabis innovation is becoming a commercial reality through retailer adoption, product education and word of mouth.

The milestone marks a significant transition for a product that first attracted widespread media attention in 2019: from an innovation many questioned was possible to a new cannabis category appearing on retail shelves across Ontario.

While the company does not have any chain-wide retail endorsements, the Ontario rollout includes select locations operating under established retail banners such as Spiritleaf, True North Cannabis Co., Discounted Cannabis, FIKA, One Plant, Tokyo Smoke, HighLife Cannabis and Sessions Cannabis, together with numerous smaller chains and independent retailers.

"When we first announced odourless cannabis, the immediate question was whether it was real," said CannabCo President and CEO Mark Pellicane. "Today, the conversation has shifted to retailer availability and broader distribution."

A Distinct New Cannabis Category

Odourless OG™ launched in Ontario in June 2026 as five 0.5-gram pre-rolls, with THC levels approaching 32 per cent. It is available to licensed retailers through the Ontario Cannabis Store's Flow-Through distribution program.

CannabCo has received reports from Ontario retailers of adults specifically asking for lower-odour cannabis. Unlike products differentiated primarily by potency, genetics or price, Odourless OG™ addresses the distinctive smell traditionally associated with cannabis.

"Odourless Cannabis is no longer an experiment or a concept waiting to be proven," Pellicane said. "More than 300 Ontario retail locations have recognized that it offers something conventional pre-rolls cannot: a clearly differentiated category with an immediate and easily understood purpose."

Existing retail accounts have begun reordering and additional locations continue to onboard.

As Close to Odourless as Cannabis Has Come

Odourless OG™ was developed through selective breeding and cultivation practices to produce cannabis that is virtually free of the traditional tell-tale cannabis smell during storage and consumption. The cannabis contains no added fragrances or odour-masking agents.

Independent comparative testing by Scentroid found that CannabCo's cannabis produced substantially less measured odour than regular cannabis under controlled conditions, including during combustion.[1]

"The smell of cannabis is unmistakable and can be particularly noticeable in condominiums, apartments and other shared environments," Pellicane said. "Odourless Cannabis was developed to substantially reduce that characteristic smell while remaining a genuine cannabis product."

Building Awareness Through Retail Education

CannabCo is supporting the Ontario rollout through direct retailer outreach, product education and budtender training. The program is designed to help retail teams understand the product and accurately explain what differentiates it.

"Once the concept is understood, it is easily communicated," Pellicane said. "Retail education builds awareness, budtenders explain the difference and word of mouth carries the story forward."

CannabCo is now preparing for additional provincial distribution, subject to regulatory approvals, provincial listings, production capacity and distribution arrangements.

"Reaching more than 300 Ontario retail locations is an important early milestone," said Mark Novak, COO of CannabCo. "It provides commercial validation for odour-reduced cannabis and supports the opportunity to develop the category beyond Ontario."

About CannabCo Pharmaceutical Corp.

CannabCo Pharmaceutical Corp. is a Canadian cannabis company focused on developing and commercializing differentiated cannabis products. Its Odourless Cannabis™ platform was developed to substantially reduce the characteristic odour associated with conventional cannabis.

Laboratory analysis of Odourless Cannabis™


Detailed Lab Analysis of Odourless Cannabis™ shows nearly 600% Reduction in Odour

BRAMPTON, Feb 22, 2022 /PRNewswire/ — CannabCo Pharmaceutical Corp. (CannabCo), a Canadian company located in Brampton, Ontario, has released the results of a 50 page extensive lab report conducted by a third party specialty laboratory and testing facility specialized in odour.

Tests were conducted at Scentroid, a laboratory specializing in odour assessment and environmental odour impact.  At the request of one of the “big four” financial consulting firms, a report was commissioned providing extensive detail on the PureScent™ technology.  More specifically a comparative analysis was conducted between the Odourless Cannabis™ product and regular cannabis with respect to the odour produced and impact of the odour in the surrounding area. “The Odourless Cannabis™ product is revolutionary both in its quality and the implications it has in the market” said CannabCo’s president and CEO Mark Pellicane.  “It was important to us and our market partners that we demonstrate, in a quantitative fashion, the true impact of Odourless Cannabis™ and as such we embraced the idea of comprehensive testing from a certified lab”.  Scentroid was chosen for their experience and extensive work with governments, municipalities, various environmental sectors, and fortune 500 companies.

Multiple Tests were conducted under detailed and specific lab conditions ensuring that products were tested under identical conditions and concentrations.  “It was important to us that repetitive results were accurate and under identical conditions to ensure the integrity and validity of the results and final report.” said Mark Novak, COO of CannabCo.

The end result of the testing was shocking and showed a near 600% reduction in odour over regular cannabis. “We knew what to expect” said Pellicane, “nevertheless receiving quantitative numbers that are so significant to the market was a major milestone for the company”.

The report concluded Odourless Cannabis™ was barely detectable in a 4 meter radius, while regular cannabis odour was disruptive and negatively impactful in a 50 meter radius.

Scentroid also conducted Hedonic Testing which measures the effect, or likelihood, of the odour to impact negatively on other people.  The report states that “hedonic testing is an important metric because it means that even if the same strength odour is released during storage, vaporization, or combustion, the “odourless” cannabis will create fewer complaints and seem less intense”.  Regular cannabis odour was deemed 90% likely to illicit a complaint or negative response whereas the likelihood of generating a complaint or negative effect was insignificant with Odourless Cannabis™.

The report further states in summary, “The improvement in hedonic tone, coupled with the reduction of the odour concentration ensures that the “odourless” cannabis will be perceived as having far less odour than the regular cannabis”.

In a recent press release, CannabCo announced the receipt of multiple endorsements related to its Odourless Cannabis™ product.  CannabCo is hailing its product as a solution to the pungent odour associated with smoking cannabis.  In one endorsement a property manager stated that they would rescind the ban on cannabis and allow the smoking of Odourless Cannabis™ on the premises, “We would welcome the Odourless Cannabis™ product in its effort to provide a much needed compromise between cannabis smokers and those tenants that have a problem with the odour”.

CannabCo continues to develop its products in anticipation of its industry launch in early 2022.

Real estate industry response to Odourless Cannabis™

Real Estate Industry Endorses Odourless Cannabis™

Feb 17, 2022, 07:43 ET

BRAMPTON, ON, Feb. 17, 2022 – CannabCo Pharmaceutical Corp. (CannabCo), a Canadian company located in Brampton, Ontario, is pleased to announce that it has received multiple endorsements from real estate companies related to its PureScent™ Odourless Cannabis™ technology. 

The real estate industry has taken notice of a significant problem solving technology related to the pungent odour of cannabis resulting from people smoking cannabis on managed properties. “We have significant problems with respect to the odour of cannabis products on our properties” said Sam, a property manager located in Ontario, Canada. “Since cannabis legislation in Canada, we have fielded increasing complaints from tenants that find the odour offensive.” Given the problem most property management firms ban the smoking of cannabis on any managed premises.

Sam is quick to point out that the problem is not so straight forward. “In addition to the problem of cannabis odour, we now faced complaints from the smokers that they had a right to take their medication in the comfort of their own homes. Both groups were of the opinion their rights were being subverted.” He further describes the situation as a “no-win” for management.

Impact on Property Values

A second real estate specialist, Ben, is further concerned about the effect he has experienced on property values and rental rates. “The problem of odour further impacts the value of the property in many cases forming a downward trend where consistent or even intermittent cannabis odour is present.” He further goes on to comment on experiences where families, especially ones with small children, decline a property or even relocate based on the presence of cannabis odour.

In the case of negotiating price on purchasing or renting a property, the smell favors the buyer and puts the property owner on the defensive. “Even the presence or hint of cannabis odour offers the purchaser leverage on price, often pushing concessions based on the negative aspect of the odour,” says Ben.

Enter Odourless Cannabis™. While both endorsements are from slightly different areas of the real estate sector, both agree; Odourless Cannabis™ solves a significant problem making their lives, and the lives of property owners on both sides of the cannabis fence much easier.

“I am very excited about CannabCo’s upcoming product” says Ben. “I am confident Odourless Cannabis™ will have a positive impact on our industry and I can foresee many individuals adopting the product to avoid complaints.”

Lift on Smoking Ban

Sam further goes on to say that they would lift the smoking ban in the wake of the odour solution provided by CannabCo. “Without a doubt, their Odourless Cannabis™ product provides a much needed solution both for us and the real estate industry. Given the products ability to eliminate cannabis odour when tenants smoke their cannabis, we would welcome the odourless cannabis product in its efforts to provide a much needed compromise between cannabis smokers and those tenants that have a problem with the odour.”

CannabCo continues to develop multiple cannabis strains and innovative first to market products, with its undisclosed technology and grow partner. Recently CannabCo announced a cannabis strain rated at an unprecedented 41% cannabinoid content, one of the highest ever recorded in the industry. CannabCo maintains full ownership and rights to PureScent™ and the Odourless Cannabis™ technology.

CannabCo intends to release additional information on PureScent™ in the coming weeks.

Odourless Cannabis™ technology branding update

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Feb 14, 2022

Odourless Cannabis™ changes representative technology to PureScent™

BRAMPTON, Feb 14, 2022 /PRNewswire/ — CannabCo Pharmaceutical Corp. (CannabCo), a Canadian company located in Brampton, Ontario, is pleased to announce a change in the representative technology name from its former Purecann to PureScent™. 

The company has been overwhelmed with requests for implementation of the technology to produce specific odourless products in multiple industries.  “The name change is more representative of the scope of the technology” said CannabCo’s CEO Mark Pellicane.  “Recently the technology has been successfully applied to the tobacco and hemp industries successfully producing representative odourless products unrelated to the cannabis industry”.  While the company is primarily focused on the release of Odourless Cannabis™ in medical and recreational cannabis markets, the PureScent™ technology has wider implications to the multibillion dollar tobacco and hemp industries.

Recently the company announced a cannabis strain rated at an unprecedented 41% cannabinoid content grown by CannabCo’s technology partner using the PureScent™ technology.

The company intends to continue to develop innovative and first to market products, with its undisclosed technology and grow partner.  CannabCo maintains full ownership and rights to PureScent™ and the Odourless Cannabis™ technology.

CannabCo intends to release additional information on PureScent™ in the coming weeks.

Odourless Cannabis™ dry-flower strain announcement

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
November 30, 2021

CannabCo Reveals 41% Odourless Cannabis™ Dry Flower Strain

 

CannabCo set to capture market with High THC Odourless Cannabis™ Products

BRAMPTON, Nov 30, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — CannabCo Pharmaceutical Corp. (CannabCo), a Canadian company located in Brampton, Ontario, is pleased to announce a milestone achievement with the testing of one of the industry’s most potent cannabis strains at 41% total quantifiable cannabinoid content.  The strain features a lab tested cannabinoid count of 40.59% with a THC rating of 35%.  The main distinguishing feature of the strain, other than its high THC content, is that it was created with PureScent™, CannabCo’s proprietary Odourless Cannabis™ technology. 

(Above: Certificate of analysis for 41% PureScent™ strain.)

The deployment of PureScent™ makes the product virtually odourless when smoked or stored allowing for a reduced impact on others sensitive to the pungent odour of cannabis.  This is an industry first and a product the company claims is sorely needed in the marketplace.  

The company has developed and tested multiple PureScent™ strains ranging from under .3% for the smoke-able hemp market, with numerous strains in the 20-32% range, culminating to the highest THC range currently at 35%. 

Currently the highest THC dry flower in the Ontario Cannabis Store lists at a maximum of 32% THC.  Mark Pellicane, CannabCo’s CEO, thinks they can do better.  “We are always pushing the limits with our technologies” said Pellicane, “With the demand for high THC strains, it made sense to target the same in odourless variants and our result is one of the highest THC strains produced to date”.  Pellicane also stated that the company has multiple strains in the high 30’s in the works, as well as market specific strains with targeted THC levels and cannabinoid profiles for specific markets and effects.

 “We’ve taken the time during the COVID-19 pandemic to developed products suitable for multiple target markets” said Mark Novak, the company’s COO.  “For example, Israel currently has a THC cap on dry bud, so we’ve developed products specific to the 20-25% range in order to maximize consumer uptake for that specific medical and pending recreational markets”. The company has been approached for PureScent™ deployment in multiple markets such as the USA,  EU, Israel, Australia, and South America.  

The company intends to continue to develop innovative and first to market products, with its undisclosed technology and grow partner.  CannabCo maintains full ownership and rights to PureScent™ and the odourless cannabis™ technology.

Phoenix 2.0 production announcement

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Mar 31, 2021

CannabCo announces breakthrough in cannabis production with Phoenix 2.0

BRAMPTON, March 31, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — CannabCo Pharmaceutical Corp. (CannabCo), a Canadian company located in Brampton, Ontario, is pleased to announce the latest results of their Phoenix 2.0 system.  Working with their technology partners for the enhancement of CannabCo’s proprietary grow system, dubbed PHOENIX, the company has achieved metrics of over 3 lbs per sq/ft per annum, and an indoor production cost of under $.40 CDN per gram of product.  What is even more astonishing is that the numbers are not based on a particularly high yielding strain, and include isle space, also known as “dead space” in a grow room.

The company has been in development of the system for over 5 years with its technology partners and has constantly provided enhancements and guidance on the grow technology.  “The system has been fine tuned to the commercial cannabis market and takes great care to maximize quality and minimize cost per gram”, commented CannabCo’s President and CEO Mark Pellicane, “We have yet to see anything remotely close to PHOENIX in yield metrics, quality, and production cost”.

With a massive surplus of outdoor grown, and low grade cannabis in the open market, PHOENIX has been designed to produce higher quality products that appeal to the cannabis buyer that demands a product that is of superior grade and quality.

CannabCo, considered a cannabis technology company, is best known for its collaboration in developing the PureScent™ technology used for the growing and production of Odourless Cannabis™ strains.  While the company’s primary focus is PureScent™, CannabCo maintains that the PHOENIX system is industry disruptive, and its deployment would prove a significant strategic advantage to the cultivator.  Dry cannabis prices vary with current wholesale pricing ranging from $1 to $1.50 per gram for “low end” production, often used for extraction, to premium bud (high quality, high THC) which is relatively scarce in the market and sells for a significant premium, often $2.50 to $4 per gram.  “Imagine getting top-shelf quality product that people want at one tenth the cost.  These are the type of numbers I like working with”, said Pellicane.

Another advantage of PHOENIX is its synergy with CannabCo’s represented technologies such as PureScent™.  While the system has been designed to grow any cannabis strain with top shelf quality in mind, CannabCo has taken the time to optimized PHOENIX for growing Odourless Cannabis™.  “While it is the company’s plan to minimize capital expenditure by using existing cultivation infrastructure primarily for PureScent™, we do intend to provide the best quality product for anything produced by CannabCo in-house”, said Chief Operating Officer Mark Novak.

Recently the company announced its successful adaptation of PureScent™ to the tobacco industry for the production of Odourless Tobacco™.  When asked if, and how this fits in with PHOENIX,  the company was quick to state that while PHOENIX can be adapted to a large number of crops, the technology is currently optimized for the cannabis industry.

The 2.0 version of PHOENIX features enhancements over the earlier system further increasing simplicity, reduced labour costs, and further enhancing already stellar quality and production metrics.

Cannabco currently maintains full exclusive rights for deployment of the PHOENIX technology.

Application of odour-reduction technology to tobacco

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Mar 09, 2021

Odourless Tobacco slated to hit the market. CannabCo applies Odourless Cannabis™ Technology to the Tobacco Industry.

BRAMPTON, March 9, 2021 — CannabCo Pharmaceutical Corp. (CannabCo), a Canadian company located in Brampton, Ontario, is pleased to announce that PureScent™, the technology used to create Odourless Cannabis™, has successfully been adapted and applied to create Odourless Tobacco. The application of PureScent™ to tobacco products effectively eliminates the smell of tobacco (specifically cigarettes) when smoked. While the company has been focused on carving out a significant market share of the multi-billion dollar cannabis industry, CannabCo has successfully adapted its technology to tobacco. “The ability to provide odourless tobacco in any market without restriction provides a significant opportunity for CannabCo”, said Mark Novak, COO of the company. Deploying PureScent™ for Cannabis targets a market segment in the Billions, and that’s operating in restrictive markets which have legalized cannabis. By also applying the technology to the tobacco industry, the company expects to target a much larger industry with few restrictions on sales.

“While CannabCo is completely focused on the application of PureScent™ to the cannabis industry, we could not ignore the tremendous opportunity in the much larger tobacco market” said President and CEO Mark Pellicane.

The technology, originally developed for the Medical Cannabis Market and dubbed “PureScent™”, was designed to eliminate the strong odour of smoking cannabis without losing any of the product’s potency or properties. When the company was tasked with adapting the technology with an eye towards the tobacco industry the results were an astounding success. When asked about the significance of applying PureScent™ to tobacco, Frank Baldwin, CannabCo’s Director of Operations, commented: “To say that the distinctive odour associated with cigarette smoking is not a positive experience is an understatement. At least this technology allows a choice for a smoker to nearly eliminate the smell and underlying social stigma associated with the habit”. Frank further commented that, as with combusting cannabis, the effect was observed to be far cleaner and less harsh during the smoking process.

The PureScent™ technology virtually eliminates odour typically associated with cannabis both when packaged and stored prior to use, and also during the time it is smoked. Given CannabCo’s recent advances in applying PureScent™ to tobacco, the same can now be said of cigarettes and the combustion of other tobacco products. The company further states that there are no special devices required by the consumer for the dry cannabis product or tobacco use.

Fully compliant with GMP standards, the company intends to utilize PureScent™ for the production of cannabis products distributed to the medical and recreational cannabis markets. CannabCo further intends to continue the development of the technology for licensing to the tobacco industry. “A smoker would be able to go outside for a break and return without the tell-tale smell of cigarettes attached to their breath or clothing.” commented Pellicane.

“As a former smoker, I know how much of an impact the smell would have on the people around me”.

Cannabco currently maintains full exclusive rights for the deployment of the technology inclusive of use in both cannabis and tobacco applications.

About CannabCo Pharmaceutical Corp.

CannabCo Pharmaceutical Corp. is a Canadian full-service cannabis technology company with operations in Brampton, Ontario. The company has received its “Confirmation of Readiness” from Health Canada to become a licensed producer and is currently building out its pilot facility in the Brampton Area.

Odourless Cannabis™ market-segment announcement

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Oct 9, 2019

CannabCo pioneers new cannabis market segment with exclusive Odourless Cannabis™ product

BRAMPTON, ON, Oct. 9, 2019 /PRNewswire/ – CannabCo Pharmaceutical Corp. (CannabCo), a Canadian company located in Brampton, Ontario, is pleased to announce its intent to expand on production and product offerings resulting from the overwhelming interest received on deployment of the PureScent™ technology. Less than a month ago, CannabCo announced PureScent™, the technology responsible for the production of Odourless Cannabis™, a global cannabis first, and since that time, PureScent™ has seemingly created a new market segment in the industry.

Originally developed for the medical market and dubbed “PureScent™”, the technology was designed to eliminate much of the harshness of smoking cannabis by consumers without losing any of its properties. “Since the time of the announcement, the response has been overwhelming”, said President & CEO Mark Pellicane, “Within hours of the announcement we were inundated with public inquiries.”

Numerous products exist to control cannabis odour both during the production process and aftermarket. “No one thought to eliminate the odour at the source, the product itself,” said Pellicane, “we did this with the deployment of PureScent™.”

CannabCo has since been featured in multiple live interviews, and press coverage ranging from cannabis specific publications to seemingly unrelated market segments such as publications for the cottage industry. “Everyone wants to know the impact of this technology on different market segments both social, and business related,” said Pellicane, “in virtually all cases, the underlying theme was the positive aspect of the elimination of the cannabis smell associated with people using the product.” Pellicane further goes on to state that the company has created an entirely new market segment addressing what some consider a fundamental issue surrounding cannabis users, the odour.

“There is no question that there exists a huge demand for odourless products beyond the standard combustion of dry bud,” said Mark Novak, COO of CannabCo, “We are currently exploring numerous products both consumable, and non-consumable which will be produced from the manufacturing facility using PureScent™ as the base technology.”

CannabCo is currently raising capital through an in-house non-brokered private placement. The company is constructing its pilot facility in Brampton, Ontario, and has received a Confirmation of Readiness notification from Health Canada for their pending cannabis license.

CannabCo further intends to pursue a Canadian public listing targeting Q1-Q2 of 2020 and management has retained legal securities council to this effect. The company is currently using MNP for audit purposes.

About PureScent™

PureScent™ is a technology under the exclusive right to use by CannabCo for the production of Odourless Cannabis™. The process is EU GMP compliant and is designed to produce cannabis product with the following characteristics:

  • Virtually undetectable odour of dry product during storage

Plans to introduce Odourless Cannabis to Canada

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Sep 10, 2019

CannabCo to launch Odourless Cannabis to the Canadian market, a global first

BRAMPTON, ON, Sept. 10, 2019 /CNW/ – CannabCo Pharmaceutical Corp. (CannabCo), a Canadian company located in Brampton, Ontario, is pleased to announce an agreement with an undisclosed technology provider to deploy an advanced cannabis technology for the production of near odourless cannabis. This is an industry first and a product the company claims is sorely needed in the marketplace.  Upon receiving its license from Health Canada, CannabCo will have exclusive rights to deploy the technology for use in its Canadian production.

Originally developed for the medical market and dubbed “PureScent™”, the technology was designed to eliminate much of the harshness of smoking cannabis by consumers without losing any of its properties.  “Cannabis by its nature when burnt, typically causes coughing and is very heavy when inhaled, which is especially true for new users.” Commented Mark Novak, Cannabco’s COO.  “The technology when deployed eliminates much of the harshness of smoking cannabis in its dry form allowing the process of using cannabis far more tolerable while retaining the essential properties”.

The technology also virtually eliminates odour typically associated with cannabis, both when packaged and stored prior to use, also during the time it is smoked.  “When we saw the technology in action and the end result, we realized there were a number of potential markets associated with the use of PureScent™”, said President and CEO Mark Pellicane, “There are no third-party gadgets, or devices on the part of the user, the end result is pure cannabis that doesn’t smell”.

Fully compliant with GMP standards, the company intends to utilize the technology for production of products distributed to the medical and recreational markets.  “Imagine someone going outside for a break during the day, having their afternoon cannabis and coming back without any odour attached to their clothing or coat.” commented Pellicane.  “A woman can carry cannabis in her purse without having the odour concentrated or leaking out in her handbag.  A number of users, and people that are around cannabis smokers, complain about the smell especially in enclosed areas, condos, and apartments, and this technology addresses those concerns.”

“Over the last two years we’ve observed product being processed with the system and we were given the opportunity to provide feedback and suggestions for the refinement of the process. We have been incredibly pleased with the results” said Novak.  “In using this technology CannabCo will be able to produce a wide variety of products currently not in the marketplace, addressing a key market segment that currently does not exist.”

The tech company has the following claims associated with implementing PureScent™:

  • Virtually undetectable odour of dry product during storage

  • Greatly reduced cannabis odor (virtually undetectable) during combustion

  • Reduces harshness resulting in a very smooth smoke on combustion

  • May be used to produce a “connoisseur” product for a unique market segment

  • Less residual heavy feeling “day after effect” associated with smoking cannabis

CannabCo is currently raising capital, constructing its pilot facility in Brampton, Ontario, and has received a Confirmation of Readiness notification from Health Canada for their pending cannabis license.  Cannabco intends to implement the PureScent™ technology upon completion of licensing by Health and intends to produce a number of product lines addressing key segments in the medical and recreational markets.

Cannabco also recently announced the intention to deploy PHOENIX technology for its indoor grow operations reducing cannabis production costs to under $.50 per gram.  “We intend to allocate a portion of product cultivated with PHOENIX for the manufacture of specialty products using PureScent™”, confirmed Novak.

The company has not yet decided if it will apply the technology in the form of third party services for processing cannabis supplied from other Canadian producers however when asked, Pellicane commented “It’s a new technology and works hand in hand with PHOENIX, so there is a significant advantage applying it to a portion of our cultivated product, however we have not ruled out processing for other LP’s and nothing is currently off the table.”  Cannabco currently maintains exclusive rights to deploy the technology for its Canadian cultivation and manufacturing operations.

PHOENIX indoor production announcement

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
July 30, 2019

CannabCo to deploy PHOENIX, for indoor cannabis production costs of under 50 Cents per gram, an industry first.

BRAMPTON, July 30, 2019 /PRNewswire/ — CannabCo Pharmaceutical Corp. (CannabCo), a Canadian company located in Brampton, Ontario, is pleased to announce an agreement with an undisclosed technology provider to deploy an advanced cannabis cultivation system, which among many other features, has the ability to produce cannabis at record yields and at a cost of under $.50 per gram indoors, an industry first.  Upon receiving its license from Health Canada, CannabCo will have exclusive rights to deploy the cultivation technology for its Canadian operations.

Dubbed “PHOENIX”, and meant to signify the constant harvesting and rebirth of the plants, the technology company claims the system has been designed to produce a record yield of cannabis in a given space with a greatly reduced cultivation cost over traditional grow methods.  The system has been in development for over 4 years, has a proven track record of cannabis cultivation, and is fully commercially scalable.  “We’ve observed and given input to the evolution of the system over the last 4 years and are constantly amazed at the yield, and consistency of the results” said CannabCo’s Chief Operating Officer, Mark Novak.  “We are proud to have been part of its evolution and are very excited at the prospect of using the technology”.  The tech company has the following claims associated with PHOENIX:

·       Unique to the industry

·       Proprietary aspects to the grow system and technology

·       Raw product cost of cultivation below $.50 CDN per gram of product

·       Repeatable and consistent grow results for each cultivation

·       Product consistency and repeatability for Pharmaceutical grade supply

·       “top shelf” product quality

·       Maximizes pathogen control and crop health

·       Annual yield per linear sq/ft in excess of 1000 grams (estimated at +1500g)

“PHOENIX has a number of advantages over current traditional cultivation methods”, said Novak.  “The market will demand pharma quality inputs and flower free from various pesticides.  Customers always want a top shelf product, this has always been the company’s goal, and PHOENIX has been designed to meet and exceed those expectations”.

“In a race to cultivate, some companies have deployed billions of dollars collectively on cultivation operations which are obsolete before being implemented.  Little attention was given to proper technology specific to cannabis and the ability to cultivate a quality product”, claims Mark Pellicane, CEO of CannabCo, and a featured speaker at ExpoCannabiz 2019.  “Quality has been something sorely lacking from many growers and desperately needed in the Canadian market.  Over the years we’ve seen the grows, and been provided consistent test results from cannabis cultivated using PHOENIX and the results have been stellar in comparison to the control tests both in yield and final quality.  We are ecstatic to have the opportunity to deploy the system once our pilot facility is built out.”

CannabCo is currently raising capital, constructing its pilot facility in Brampton, Ontario, and has received a Confirmation of Readiness notification from Health Canada for their pending cannabis license.  The company intends to deploy PHOENIX, upon completion of licensing by Health Canada followed by implementation in a much larger expansion facility in 2020.  “The deployment of PHOENIX will be disruptive in the industry and lower the bar dramatically for indoor production costs while raising the bar for quality” said Pellicane.

At an average cost significantly lower than greenhouse grown product, and an ability to manage environmental factors within tight tolerance parameters, CannabCo feels it is backing a winning technology as core to its Canadian operations.

To curtail industry skepticism, CannabCo commissioned a top tier third party engineering and compliance firm specific to the cannabis industry, to evaluate the technology on its merits, observe a grow, and produce an independent report on finding.  The results were conclusive, every one of the Tech firm’s, and CannabCo’s claims were verified.

CannabCo maintains exclusive rights to deploy the technology for its Canadian operations and has a right of refusal for license extension to any other cultivator.
