(CSE: BLIS)(OTCQB: HSTRF) (FRA: GQ4B), (“Blissco”) or the (“Company”) is a Canadian wellness cannabis brand based in British Columbia and licensed producer, processor, and distributor of premium dried cannabis and cannabis oil. Today, the company is pleased to announce that it has been approved by the Saskatchewan Liquor and Gaming Authority (SLGA) as a cannabis supplier.

Allowing producers to ship directly to retail stores in Saskatchewan creates efficiencies in the supply chain and thus, lowers costs for both retailers and producers,” said Damian Kettlewell, Blissco CEO.
“SICRN is developing stronger relations with Health Canada licensed producers so we can order directly from them and have their product shipped directly to our stores, lowering our costs. We are excited to work with Blissco to enable our growing member base the opportunity to purchase premium dried cannabis and pre-rolled products and eventually cannabis oil products as well,” said SICRN Vice-President Jim Southam.
