Cannabis Consumers Reap the Benefits of Cultivator Innovation
While many cultivators operate indoor facilities, several small ingenious growers have taken cultivation to another standard. "Craft cannabis" cultivators have become increasingly popular for their unique and potent strains. Overall, craft cannabis is an artisanal product, similar to craft beer or craft coffee, where producers take immense pride in their work. Craft beer and craft coffee producers select only the highest quality of ingredients to create a distinctive product. Similarly, craft cultivators strive to select high-quality strains and grow their cannabis in optimal environmental conditions. Typically, craft products are much pricier than generic standard products. However, many consumers have mentioned that they are willing to pay more for an organic product rather than a black market product. Notably, craft cultivators avoid using artificial byproducts to grow their cannabis. In particular, craft producers avoid chemicals such as pesticides or growth stimulants as they aim to grow their cannabis through a natural process. The use of pesticides or other growing chemicals can significantly damage the plant and its cannabinoid content, resulting in a weaker product. On the other hand, many large-scale licensed producers use pesticides to automate more of the process to reduce bug infestations and molding. However, craft cultivators constantly tend to each and every individual plant to avoid the possibility of such an outbreak. The tedious process in which craft cultivators undergo creates an uncomparable strain that stands out against generic commercialized products. "Craft cannabis is a vibrant and growing business that will continue to thrive," said Michael Camplin, Sales Manager for GGS Structures. "But the real reason craft cannabis will never die, is human beings want choice. We all want freedom of choice in our lives. This is the foundation that many of today's cannabis farmers started on, and this is the essential human spirit."
Pasha Brands Ltd. (OTC: CRFTF) (CSE: CRFT) is also listed on the Canadian Securities Exchange under the ticker (CSE: CRFT). Yesterday, the Company announced that, "its wholly owned subsidiary BC Craft Supply Co. ("BC Craft") has signed a supply agreement with Canandia Bioceutials ("Canandia"), based in Delta, BC. This supply contract will add approximately 500kg of specialized craft cannabis to BC Craft's supply chain and brings the number of licensed micro-producers BC Craft has signed supply agreements with to four.
Canandia founder, Alon Amit, brings decades of cannabis growing experience with him to the legal marketplace with businesses operating in both Canada and Israel. As a master cultivator of cannabis for medical purposes under three previous regulatory regimes in Canada since 2001, Alon has a successful track record for producing high quality cannabis, and will now form a part of BC Craft's supply chain for both the medical and national recreational market. Alon's previous company has been selling dry medical cannabis directly to the Government of Alberta's Worker's Compensation Board under an exclusive contract to supply their claimants.
Canandia had applied under previous Health Canada rules to be a Licensed Producer. However, due to its size, they were given the option to amend their license to the newly created class of micro-cultivator on October 12, 2018. The micro-cultivator licence allows for a canopy size of 2,150 square feet which will typically generate approximately 500 kg of craft cannabis per year operating out of an indoor facility.
About Pasha Brands: Based in Vancouver, British Columbia, Pasha is a prohibition-era brand house firmly rooted in BC's craft cannabis industry and is developing a nation-wide network of craft cultivators to provide the nation with high grade quality craft cannabis.
