AYR Wellness was awarded conditional approval to serve as a pharmaceutical processor by the Virginia Cannabis Control Authority for Virginia's Health Service Area 1. HSA 1 encompasses various cities and counties in Virginia, including Charlottesville, Fredericksburg, Spotsylvania, and Stafford.
David Goubert, President & CEO of AYR had the following to say: "We're proud to have earned the opportunity to serve patients in Virginia, particularly in a region of ~1.5 million people that has lacked access to medical cannabis for some time. This is an exciting moment for AYR, reflective of our continued efforts towards building our business to generate sustainable forward-looking growth."
Upon receipt of the pharmaceutical processing permit, the Company will be permitted to cultivate and process cannabis, manufacture cannabis products, and perform sales to qualified medical cannabis patients in Virginia. The Company must meet any conditional commitments within one year to obtain a full pharmaceutical processor permit.
