Integrated Cannabis’ wholly-owned subsidiary, Ganja Gold, is pleased to announce that their products are now available in 275 dispensaries across California. This paves way for the Company to continue escalating growth in the California market through Ganja Gold SKUs while providing a vast and solid channel for new products currently under development.Pre-roll Manufacturing Technology
In September, the Company took delivery of a custom, purpose built, proprietary pre-roll manufacturing system. The system has been developed in partnership with a leading developer of pharmaceutical equipment in Silicon Valley. This automated system, which is able to produce 600 pre-rolls per hour and only requires 2 personnel to operate, has been debugged on site and will be used in production runs as of mid-November.
