We are already leveraging the capabilities of our global network with an aim of becoming the most innovative cannabis company in the world. Through this partnership with GTP, we can use blockchain technology to ensure the integrity and grade of our products – from source to retail. This demonstrates our deep commitment to leading the global cannabis industry in a positive and meaningful way," Lorne continued.
