REPEAT — Pure Extracts Commences Build-Out of Facility in Preparation for Mushroom Extraction and Dealer’s Licence

VANCOUVER, British Columbia, Dec. 16, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Pure Extracts Technologies Corp. (CSE: PULL) (XFRA: A2QJAJ) (“Pure Extracts” or the “Company”), a plant-based extraction company, is pleased to announce that it has begun to build-out the 4th unit in its facility for the extraction of mushrooms and to commence research and development of psilocybin under a Dealer’s Licence.

The Company is preparing an application to Health Canada for a Dealer’s Licence under the Controlled Drugs and Substances Act (CDSA), which provides, among other things, the framework for legal access to controlled substances, and the control and regulation of production, distribution and sale of psilocybin.

Under this framework, a company is required to obtain a licence issued by Health Canada in order to conduct various activities with controlled substances. Licence holders are responsible for compliance with the CDSA and its Regulations as well as compliance with other applicable federal, provincial and territorial legislation and municipal by-laws. The issued licence dictates activities, conditions, and restrictions for the licence holder depending on licence permissions.

A Dealer’s Licence could allow for the following activities:

  • Procurement of controlled substances, including by import, synthesis, propagation, cultivation and harvesting of psychedelic mushrooms for psilocybin extraction
  • Research and manufacture of controlled substances such as psilocybin and psilocin
  • Business to business sale of controlled substances, including by export
  • Sale of controlled substance via pharmacies

Pure Extracts CEO, Ben Nikolaevsky, remarked, “As a plant-based extractor bringing functional mushroom products to market in Q1 2021, we are very excited to be building-out our facility for our move into the controlled substances world of psychedelics. It’s great to have space adjacent to our cutting-edge facility which is built to Health Canada standards and to know that this space will also have the same high standards of construction that Pure Extracts prides itself on.”

Having the ability to do extraction research and development into psychedelic compounds such as psilocybin and psilocin will prepare Pure Extracts to work with partners such as medical doctors, pharmaceutical company and pharmacies as clinical trials lead to the legalization of psychedelics and the advancement of micro-dosing in the near future.

Submission of the Company’s Dealer’s License application is subject to compliance with applicable securities laws, including any necessary approvals by the CSE.
