Under the terms of the agreement, HVT will supply Shoppers Drug Mart with Satipharm branded medical cannabis products. The products will be sold online, as Canadian regulations restrict the sale of medical cannabis in retail pharmacies.

At launch, United Greeneries will produce and ship an Indica variety of SatiSilver(TM) and a hybrid variety of SatiGreen(TM).
