Scythian Biosciences to Commence Trading on the Canadian Securities Exchange


TORONTO, Aug. 14, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Shares of Scythian Biosciences Corp. (the "Company" or “Scythian”) (CSE:SCYB) (Frankfurt:9SB) (OTC – Nasdaq Intl: SCCYF) is pleased to announce that it will commence trading on the Canadian Securities Exchange (the "CSE") under the symbol "SCYB" beginning when the market opens on Wednesday August 15, 2018.

“The TSX Venture Exchange policies required that we delist from the exchange prior to completion of any acquisitions of United States based cannabis companies.

CSE listing will help us achieve our goal of expanding access to medical cannabis in the world’s leading markets,” Scythian CEO Rob Reid said.
