The Company anticipates that the clinical portion of the study will be completed before the beginning of Q320.
  • FV Pharma, a licensed producer under Canada’s Cannabis Act and Regulations and a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, continues to operate at a scaled back level due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
