Major NZ supplier of cannabis medicines[hhmc]

Medleaf, which was set up in 2018, is a major supplier of cannabis medicines in New Zealand, with a well-established supply chain.

From October 1, 2020, new enhanced regulation of medicinal cannabis medicines takes effect in New Zealand which requires all medicines supplied to be submitted for review and registration.

THC Global will seek registration of these medicines prior to supply to Medleaf.

THC Global chief executive officer Ken Charteris said: “By increasing our production of medicines from our Australian facilities, were able to improve efficiency and price competitiveness whilst still delivering industry-leading quality, which will continue to build as we supply additional customers such as Medleaf, and Australian patients.”

“We are very pleased to be working with Medleaf as one of New Zealands leading cannabis medicine brands, and look forward to working together on providing choice in high quality and affordability of medicinal cannabis to patients in New Zealand.”

Medleaf Therapeutics CEO Courtney Letica added: “The new cannabis medicine regulations in New Zealand are a significant opportunity for established brands to reach more patients in need who may benefit from medicinal cannabis. We are happy to be engaged with THC Global and look forward to working with New Zealand doctors to make cannabis medicines more accessible for New Zealanders."
