Cannasouth Limited (NZX:CBD) is pleased to announce that it has received its first shipment of verified cannabis medicines.

Cannasouth CEO Mark Lucas says, “This accomplishment marks the end of a near two-year process since submitting product assessments with the Medicinal Cannabis Agency.

"The differentiated formulations of our products will provide New Zealand patients and prescribers with new treatment options compared to existing products on the New Zealand market. We are confident these products offer patients and prescribers a point of difference to meet the treatment needs of a wider range of conditions.”

Navigating and establishing the supply chain for its first medicines means Cannasouth is now generating revenue from the sale of medicines in New Zealand.
