Edmonton Company ‘Very Excited’ to Be City’s First Licensed Marijuana Grow Op

Date:

It took years of planning, paperwork and millions of dollars, but GrenEx Pharms Inc. has finally received a licence from Health Canada and is now Edmonton’s first medical cannabis grow operation.

“There are so many opportunities. There’s export, the market. I get calls every day from people who want product from jurisdictions where it’s legal, globally,” GrenEx chief executive John Simon said.

“We’re in the game now so it’s huge… We were very excited but then it was like, ‘Boy, we’ve got to get going here.’ So it’s a lot of pressure right now.”

It has not been a quick or simple process with Health Canada.

“We’ve been waiting for four years to get the licence and finally have a chance now to be active in the industry,” Simon said.

“Every week, they’re putting together more and more licences. It is a big deal. There’s only [so] many across the country.”
