GrowBLOX Sciences, a biopharmaceutical company with
state-of-the-art technologies in plant biology and cultivation designed to
produce consistent medicinal cannabis, this morning announced it has acquired
four Nevada State Medical Cannabis licenses.
The acquisition of three of the licenses stems from an
agreement with Sandra Tiffany, a former state senator of 14 years and an
important figure in the legalization of medical cannabis in Nevada, who was
recently appointed GBLX’s general manager of Nevada operations.
Craig Ellins, chairman of the board and chief executive
officer, stated, “Opportunities, opportunities, opportunities! Through
strategic partnerships, and as the acquisition of these licenses demonstrate,
GBLX continues its rapid growth in becoming a premier provider of medical
cannabis. We are looking forward to a very exciting 2016, as all the hard work
we have executed on will transition to commercialization and revenue growth.”
The first license is for a medical cannabis grow license for
a location in Pahrump, Nevada. This location comprises a 5,000-square-foot
building and 4 acres of open space. This acreage can be used for the
construction of an unlimited number of greenhouses growing conventional
product. GBLX notes that this acreage would be particularly useful should
recreational cannabis also become legal.
The second and third licenses are for a location on 3-1/2
acres in North Las Vegas. These licenses are for both the cultivation and
production of medical cannabis. Not only does the cultivation license authorize
a grow facility, but the subsequent license authorizes production, allowing
GBLX to extract oils from the cannabis flower for vaporization or use in the
creation of edibles.
The fourth license is a dispensary license. Although arrangements
with certain local Nevada parties were announced, in a subsidiary 55% owned by
GBLX (45% by the other Nevada partners), the current arrangement is that GBLX
will own 100% of the grow facility, and the Nevada partners will own 90% of the
dispensary licenses, only one of which has been granted (by Clark County) on
Fort Apache Boulevard. The dispensary application, which is pending with the
City of Las Vegas, included in the 90/10 arrangement should be granted. All of
these arrangements are subject to certain regulatory approvals.
In addition to its ownership of the dispensaries, GBLX has
retained the rights to 20% of the premier shelf space both of the dispensaries
for its proprietary cultivation product, as well as the right to completely
control and operate the delivery service that was included in the Fort Apache
license, on a basis where 80% of the retail price is paid to the company when
the company’s proprietary product is delivered. It is expected that only the
Company’s proprietary product will be delivered by the dispensary – subject to
certain regulatory approvals.
The newly acquired Nevada licenses are in addition to the
“TECO” facility, a 30,000-square-foot cultivation lab that will feature
cleanroom infrastructure, environmental monitoring and controls, as well as
biometric access security. The state-of-the-art design will provide the ideal
facilities through with GBLX can produce raw materials at the capacity of a
greenhouse with laboratory precision.
