VANCOUVER, British Columbia, Jan. 11, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Blissco Cannabis Corp. (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 its newly formed strategic partnership with Pharmadrug Production GmbH (“Pharmadrug”) for distribution of Blissco’s product in Germany.

Pharmadrug will actively promote Blissco’s dried cannabis product across its expansive medical cannabis network in the German market. Pharmadrug is a private pharmaceutical company headquartered in Hamburg, Germany, and an international distributor and manufacturer for pharmaceutical products in the Middle East, Africa, and Europe.

“We are excited to partner with Pharmadrug and enter the German market.

A successful GMP inspection is required to earn a GMP certification which will enable Pharmadrug and Blissco to apply for import and export permits to begin shipping. Germany is the largest legal cannabis market in the world with a population of over 82 million people who have federal insurance coverage for cannabis.

“As a German entrepreneur, I very much appreciate the pleasant and efficient co-operation with Blissco. We are proud and confident to bring such a dedicated team into the growth-oriented German market,” said Pharmadrug CEO Thomas Raab.
