The Company looks forward to fulfilling European demand for medical Cannabis, now and in the future. International Cannabis is equipped with an unparalleled ability to supply the overwhelming demand for Cannabis and Cannabis extracts in Europe. As International Cannabis prepares to fulfil this order from our own production and that of our partners, it is a clear indication of the demand, even unsolicited, that the Company will be ready for in the EU.”
