Experion's Brand, Kanab?(C) Goods Co., Well Positioned to Take Advantage of New Health Canada Regulations
VANCOUVER, BC / ACCESSWIRE / June 21, 2019 / Experion Holdings Ltd. ("Experion" or the "Company") (TSXV: EXP) (OTCQB:EXPFF), formerly Viridium Pacific Group Ltd., is pleased to provide an update on the Company's brands positioned to take advantage of Health Canada's final regulations for Value-Add Products (VAP's) such as cannabis topicals, edibles and extracts as well as Health Canada's proposal to create a new category ''Cannabis Health Products'' for therapeutic treatment of minor ailments like sleeplessness or sore muscles or for use in pets, paving the way for large new untapped market.
Mr. Jay Garnett, Chief Executive Officer commented "Experion is in continued development of our wellness-centric brand Kanab?(C) Goods Co. www.kanabe.ca for the launch of value-add products (VAP's). There are currently 50 plus existing formulations which we have the ability to produce in our facility and we are also working with key strategic partners for large scale commercial roll-out. These health and wellness products such as non-intoxicating topicals and micro-dosed oils are an entry point for new consumers, broadening the market potential. The Experion management team has decades of experience in consumer-packaged goods and is well positioned to be a first mover in this category which in turn will enable Experion to stand firm in our commitment of unlocking value for our shareholders"
The VAP's regulations come into force October 17, 2019 with product availability earliest December 16th, 2019. Furthermore, Health Canada's proposal for Cannabis Health Products opens the door for a bigger opportunity. The proposal looks to treat health and wellness products with cannabis, similar to Natural Health Products which allows the product to make health claims based on evidence but without the oversight of a practitioner.
Mr. Garnett further commented "A Kanab?(C) topical balm that is non-intoxicating, for example, could potentially be sold via pharmacies or online without the restrictions to have a medical cannabis prescription or buy through a licensed cannabis retailer. The accessibility to purchase is much easier on the consumer, as well as the use of the product much clearer." This proposal further aligns to our educational and public outreach efforts from our Cannabis Wellness Expert and Co-Founder of Kanab?(C), Krystal Laferriere, who had created the product line to soothe side-effects and other ailments suffered as a result of her Crohn's Disease."
Health Canada is asking the public to submit feedback on this new category via consultation paper until September 3rd.
