TORONTO and RIONEGRO, COLOMBIA, March 29, 2019 /CNW/ – PharmaCielo Ltd. (“PharmaCielo” or the “Company“) (TSXV:PCLO), the Canadian parent of Colombia’s premier cultivator and producer of medicinal-grade cannabis oil, PharmaCielo Colombia Holdings S.A.S., announced today that its Colombian subsidiary has received from the national cultivar registry approval for the listing of a further 10 strains, each of which has a prominent tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) profile.

The additional registration of the new strains to the national cultivar registry, including a unique 1:1 THC to CBD ratio strain, doubles the number of approved strains PharmaCielo holds in the registry, making it the largest holder of approved strains in Colombia. It also paves the way for the commercial registration, production and sale of the 20 unique strains.

“The approval and registration of a second set of strains with the national cultivar registry is another important step towards PharmaCielo’s goal of becoming a leading global supplier of premium medicinal-grade cannabis oils,” said Federico Cock-Correa, president and CEO of PharmaCielo Colombia Holdings S.A.S. “The range of the strains now available at our disposal for commercial production is an important advantage that sets the company apart in both the Colombian and global marketplaces.”

The announcement comes on the heels of another set of strains PharmaCielo recently registered with the national cultivar registry, including a special CBD strain with a unique 20:1 ratio profile. As both the World Health Organization and many countries around the world shift their stance in favour of medical use of CBD-dominant cannabis oils and derived products, the demand for this type of strain is expected to rise.

Dr. Delon Human, Global Head, Health and Innovation with PharmaCielo added, “The medical community has diverse requirements for cannabis oil extracts based on specific needs, and as both CBD and THC are increasingly recognized for their medicinal role, the 1:1 ratio strain that we developed and received approval for makes a very significant contribution to the range of natural medicinal options.”

The process of registering strains in Colombia is lengthy and extensive. Up to five months of regulated field trials are required, including rigorous data collection and analysis, prior to approval for registration for commercial cultivation. The process from beginning to completion can last several years. PharmaCielo has completed the regulatory process and received strain approval from the technical directorate of the ICA (Colombian Institute of Agriculture), representing a diverse range of chemotypes, with various ratios of CBD to THC.  Upon approval, which PharmaCielo has now received for 20 strains, the strains may be registered for commercial production and quota issuance based on demonstrated market demand.

PharmaCielo has submitted a further group of strains for review and potential approval.
