() investee Embark Heath has been granted an amendment to its Health Canada licence allowing direct sales of cannabis extracts, cannabis topicals and edible cannabis products from the Embark Delta Inc facility in Delta, British Columbia.

The amendment permits sales of Cannabis 2.0 products directly to Canadian provinces & territories and allows Embark Delta to further expand its existing and future product offerings to the medical and recreational consumer markets with concentrates, extracts and nano-emulsified topical and edible products.

In addition, Embark can now offer white-labelling turn-key manufacturing services to its commercial accounts.
