The company will make application for a marihuana licence for medical purposes (MMPR) from Health Canada which is very involved and restrictive. They forecast a maximum production startup costs of over $300,000.00. The application to Health Canada could take 2 years for approval. They can build further back on the property should they care to expand. The new Greenhouses would be built by GGS which incorporates a carbon filter system to minimize odour. The company (THCRX) would make the applications to Health Canada and would lease from the current owner. There would be tight security including, fencing, fingerprint access, RCMP screening, video and lighting.
