Throughout April, BlissCo scaled up its facility and team to enable the company to meet its goal to start growing cannabis in early May. This milestone was achieved and the team also welcomed prominent advisors to assist the company expand its ecosystem and enter markets such as the projected $196.87 billion global Complementary and Alternative Medicine market.

In Q1 2018, the company completed its $2.9 million construction project at its 12,600 sq. ft. Langley, BC facility which is owned by the company. In Q1 BlissCo allocated $900,000 to complete this construction project. The facility is vertically integrated and optimized to be focused on distribution, branding and processing.

With its existing capital the company will complete the outfitting of its top-of-the-line extraction lab which will produce cannabis oils, tinctures and other high-quality products. This capital will also be used to purchase bulk cannabis for processing and distribution to medical patients and appropriate recreational jurisdictions in Canada.

The company has also initiated partnerships globally to bolster its expansion efforts worldwide.

“The company is well capitalized for the next 20 months; our current monthly cash burn is $100k and we are projected to earn our sales license amendment in early October 2018. Thus, we anticipate revenue from medical and recreational cannabis sales to commence in October 2018 which will generate respectable revenues before our January 31, 2019 year,” added Kettlewell.  “We are confident we can generate significant shareholder return without diluting the current equity in the company."
