WeedMD Inc. (TSX VENTURE: WMD) (“WeedMD” or the “Company”), a federally-licensed producer and distributor of medical cannabis, and Van der Pop (“VdP”), one of North America’s leading female-focused cannabis brands together with parent TS BrandCo, announced today that they have signed a definitive agreement to distribute two branded strains of cannabis under the VdP brand in Canada. As the first of its kind in Canada, VdP-branded strains will be available through WeedMD’s website by end of November 2017. For a limited time, new customers who order the VdP strain sampler will receive a Van der Pop launch kit including Van der Pop’s signature miron glass jars and welcome accessories. New customers can pre-register here.

“Since announcing the partnership with the innovative Van der Pop team less than four months ago, we’ve been targeting a wider-reaching cannabis market pertaining to our female patients – a very important, yet under-serviced demographic in Canada – and we are pleased to be releasing Van der Pop’s strains for sale on our website later this month,” said Bruce Dawson-Scully, CEO of WeedMD. “Furthermore, this will help WeedMD’s revenue potential and brand recognition within the current medical and future recreational cannabis markets. Together with these strategic initiatives and Van der Pop’s unique offering, we are expanding our market reach.”

“WeedMD’s unique offering and strains were chosen for their specific characteristics and  cannabinoid profiles to best help women meet their health and wellness needs,” said April Pride, Van der Pop founder. “The VdP strains are called Eclipse and Cloudburst and we are thrilled to be finally releasing this collaboration. Our goal is to provide a consistent, beautiful experience for women that addresses their therapeutic needs. We’re confident that these carefully-chosen, grown and cultivated strains will fit in perfectly with the rest of our Van der Pop offerings.”

In connection with the branding arrangement, the Company has agreed to issue to Tokyo Smoke 76,923 common shares of the Company, of which 25% will be issued immediately and 25% will be issued on each of February 15, 2018, May 15, 2018 and August 15, 2018.  In addition, the Company has issued to Tokyo Smoke 50,000 warrants with an exercise price of $1.49 per common share of the Company exercisable for two years, of which 25,000 warrants will vest and be exercisable upon the cumulative shipments of 150 kilograms of flower (or the equivalent amount of oil), and the other 25,000 warrants will vest and be exercisable upon the cumulative shipments of 300 kilograms of flower (or equivalent amount of oil).
