Tweed Marijuana buys another competitor

Tweed Marijuana Inc. of Smiths Falls is buying MedCannAccess which has clients in three Ontario communities.

it is also buying the company’s research operations in the MaRS Centre in Toronto. That lab is researching marijuana extracts for precise, standardized doses of medicinal cannabis.

The company's lead product in development is a mist that can be sprayed into the mouth.

Shareholders of MedCannAccess, which is not traded on any public stock market, will receive $1.5 million in Tweed shares upon closing, plus another $4.24 million in Tweed shares provided that certain milestones — including international expansion goals — are met.


Tweed bought Bedrocan Cannabis Corp. in June,  prompting Tweed to declare it’s the largest marijuana producer in Canada.
