(MENAFNEditorial) VANCOUVER, British Columbia, Jan. 15, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Cannabis Wheaton Income Corp. (d/b/a Wheaton Income) (TSX-V:) ("Wheaton Income" or the "Company") is excited to launch KoLab Project Inc. ('KoLab Project') (formerly RockGarden Medicinals (2014) Inc.). Upon receiving the necessary regulatory approvals, Kolab Project will offer an exclusive monthly subscription platform to authorized medical cannabis patients. The objective of KoLab Project is to rethink the patient experience for Canadians registered under the Access to Cannabis for Medical Purposes Regulations.
KoLab Project will collaborate with the best and brightest growers, licensed producers, creators, and artists to curate a unique monthly experience for Canadian patients. KoLab Project will source a diverse range of cannabis through Wheaton's unparalleled industry network and provide patients with access to curated cannabis cultivated by select licensed producers and acclaimed guest growers from around the globe.
Andrew Rock, Chief Operating Officer of KoLab Project, stated, 'We are excited to launch this initiative not only for us, but for patients across Canada. We believe that as the industry expands and gets busier, it will create a lot of noise and choice that will be daunting for a consumer to navigate. Our goal is to simplify this relationship by focusing on quality, innovation and collaboration within our networks to curate unique monthly experiences for Canadian patients. We look forward to working with a variety of collaborators from different industries to build this project into something that resonates and brings value for everyone involved. Our goal is not to be our patients' only licensed producer, but to be their favourite!'
Ian Rapsey, Chief Creative Officer of Wheaton Income, stated, 'As the industry leads up to adult recreational use, a lot bandwidth is being spent on scale and it would seem there are a few less stories on innovation and pushing the potential for the industry. The Wheaton team is focused on scale and readiness for summer 2018, but additionally our focus is to dovetail those strategies with pushing ourselves to think and try new things that move this industry forward in unexpected and delightful ways. Which is what makes our facility in Carleton Place so appealing. While it might not be big in stature, it overflows with the opportunity to do something different for the industry. KoLab Project will be a hub for innovation, a sandbox for collaboration and a brand that will be a benchmark for what's possible within the industry.'
