HAMILTON, ON, Oct. 18, 2018 /CNW/ - Radicle Medical Marijuana, a team of passionate and experienced cannabis growers, breeders, and scientists, announces today the launch of Gage Cannabis Co. With the launch of the new brand, the company is committed to taking the lead in the craft cannabis segment.

"We are proud to represent Hamilton and to participate in the largest federally legal market in the world," says Youssef Reda, chief marketing officer, Radicle Medical Marijuana. "We're committed to delivering quality services and products, and to take the lead in the growing industry. Our team is excited to be a part of this historic journey and bring a new economic rejuvenation to our hometown."

Gage Cannabis Co. will offer high-grade craft cannabis through proprietary and sustainable growth methods. The company was among the first licensed producers to use renewable energy when growing its products.

"We take pride in our ethical business practices," says Reda. "We are mindful of our ecological footprint, and make decisions that not only benefit our ecosystem, but our employees, community, and partners as well."

All products are locally harvested in Hamilton, Ontario, and grown through hydroponics – a cleaner and more natural process of growing that allows for the nutrients to be fed directly to the plant from the root.

In August 2017, Canopy Growth via Canopy Rivers acquired a 23.81 per cent equity stake in Radicle Medical Marijuana. Radicle is also among 26 licensed producers that have entered into supply agreements with the Ontario Cannabis Store to provide safe, diverse and high-quality supplies of cannabis for consumers 19 years and older.
