We anticipate that the new Dual Droplet System will provide marked improvements across the board. In addition, leveraging JWC’s decades of experience and knowledge is a great asset to Wellness Farms and our pursuit to be a high-quality medicinal cannabis provider,” says Ryan Magee, Chief Executive Officer of Wellness Farms Inc.
