Not for distribution in the U.S. or to U.S. Newswire Services



VANCOUVER, British Columbia, June 21, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- BlissCo Cannabis Corp. (CSE:BLIS) (FRA:GQ4B), (“BlissCo”) is pleased to announce that it has made its first footprint in Europe by signing a non-binding Letter of Intent (“LOI”) to sell 720 kilos of dried cannabis flower to a German biomedical and distribution company (“the Importer”).

“Our German partner will promote the responsible use of cannabis for medicinal purposes, providing international expansion to the distribution arm of the BlissCo ecosystem,” said Damian Kettlewell, BlissCo CEO.

With federal health insurance coverage for medical cannabis and population of nearly 82 million, Germany has become one of the largest legal medical cannabis markets in the world. The country was also recently touted by Deepak Anand, Vice President of Government Relations for Cannabis Compliance as “soon [to] become the top market in the world for medical cannabis.”

It is estimated that cannabis demand in Germany could reach 126,000 kg per year, and with domestic production set to grow to only 6,600 kg by 2022, Germany could be a substantial export partner for BlissCo.

BlissCo has initially agreed to provide its German research and distribution partners with dried cannabis flowers which will be processed from two THC-rich and one CBD-rich cannabis strains.



Prior to any shipment of dried cannabis flowers to the German market BlissCo must first obtain an export permit from Health Canada as well as a Good Manufacturing Practice ("GMP") certification, in accordance with the rules governing medicinal products in the European Union. The EU-GMP certification is a requirement to distribute medical cannabis to Germany and across the European Union. The Importer must also obtain an import permit.

“BlissCo is focused on building a strong ecosystem that includes partnerships in countries where cannabis is federally legal such as Germany to further establish the BlissCo brand as a premium craft cannabis product in the medical and recreational market,” said Kettlewell.

The name of the Importer will remain undisclosed until execution of a binding export agreement.

Management is focused on establishing BlissCo as an iconic Canadian cannabis brand.
