"Zenabis is pleased to partner with Paracanna as we continue to diversify our product offerings as part of our go-to-market strategy," said Rick Brar, CEO of Zenabis. "These dosing kits represent a significant growth opportunity for Zenabis and our consumer brands, and we look forward to bringing our expertise in consumer packaged goods to this partnership with Paracanna.

"We are happy to work with Zenabis on the distribution of our products. Their reach, expertise, and position in Canadian and global markets make them a great fit for us," said Paracanna CEO, Andrea Butterworth. "Together, with Zenabis, we will provide Canadians with the opportunity to create safe experiences with legal cannabis oil products."

With a track record providing Canadians with safe, high quality medical cannabis, and now adult use cannabis products, Zenabis is actively engaged in research, education and raising awareness around the safe consumption of cannabis, including cannabis oil and future post-extraction classes of cannabis.
