NELSON, BRITISH COLUMBIA, JULY 20, 2022 – Woody Nelson is pleased to announce that its flagship cannabis production facility in Nelson, BC, has received licences for Standard Cultivation, Standard Processing, and Medical Sales from Health Canada pursuant to the Cannabis Act along with a CRA cannabis licence under the Excise Act. With these licences, Woody Nelson is permitted unrestricted cannabis cultivation, retail and medical sales of cannabis flower and pre-roll joints, and in-house production of cannabis extract and topical products.

“As Nelson’s first LP, we take pride in delivering on the region’s outstanding reputation for cannabis to recreational and medical markets,” said Walker Patton, Corporate Development at Woody Nelson. “We look forward to launching our Woody Nelson brand of super-premium flower and pre-rolls later this year, in addition to producing HiFi branded concentrates and our bestselling LoFi branded CBD product line.”

With environmental habitats capable of replicating any natural growing climate with a high degree of precision in less than 60 seconds, the Woody Nelson facility can create and maintain the optimal growing environment specific to any cultivar.
