The two companies will collaborate on research, quality assurance, and technical expertise. They’ll also pool business development know-how to capitalize on complimentary strengths in their respective markets.

With a strong team coupled with complimentary values and a focus on rigorous quality assurance and research, AltMed shares both our scientific DNA and our commitment to patients.

"We’re deeply impressed with the level of sophistication, and operational know-how designed into the Vida Cannabis team as they work toward building the most advanced medical marijuana facility in Canada," says David Wright CEO of AltMed. "We have a parallel commitment to excellence in Florida, and we’ve identified vital complementary strengths and best practices that will guarantee that both of our companies excel."

Headed by former pharmaceutical executives, AltMed is focused on the science of medical cannabis. AltMed is forging skill-building alliances to lead in the delivery of effective, safe and well-tolerated alternative medicines. AltMed’s ultimate goal is to help people live better lives.

"With a strong team coupled with complimentary values and a focus on rigorous quality assurance and research, AltMed shares both our scientific DNA and our commitment to patients," says Greg Wilson CEO of Vida Cannabis.

Vida Cannabis has assembled outstanding production, quality control and research talents to pursue its vision of becoming Canada’s preeminent cannabis products innovator. The company has worldwide connections to the best production expertise in established markets including the Netherlands.

AltMed and Vida Cannabis are committed to science, compassion and community in their respective markets.

About Vida Cannabis: Vida Cannabis Corp. is working to develop uniquely high quality products to meet customer needs in the growing global marketplace for legal cannabis-based products. Initial operations are centered on the Canadian market, where the Federal Government has established national guidelines enabling best-in-class producers to acquire commercial production licenses for medicinal purposes. Vida has assembled one of the top management teams in the world, and has extensive access to expertise and resources in the United States, Canada and Europe. Its 315,000-square-foot production facility, located in Stellarton, Nova Scotia will be one of the largest, most advanced medical marijuana facilities in Canada.

About AltMed: AltMed LLC is a fully integrated, science-based Florida company dedicated to striving for compassion, community engagement and pharmaceutical industry precision in the development, production and dispensing of medical cannabis. Established in early 2014 by a consortium of Sarasota residents, AltMed's Executive Chairman and its CEO earned impressive credentials as top pharmaceutical executives. AltMed is participating in a competitive process with the intention of becoming one of five Florida licensees selected to grow and dispense medical cannabis under the Compassionate Medical Cannabis Act of 2014.
