(MENAFNEditorial) BASK Premium Cannabis Officially Opens Vertically-Integrated Dispensary in Fairhaven, Massachusetts
DENVER, CO / ACCESSWIRE / May 23, 2018 / AmeriCann, Inc. (OTCQB: ACAN ), an Agricultural-Technology company that is developing the next generation of eco-friendly state-of-the-art greenhouse style cannabis cultivation and processing properties, announced that its Preferred Partner in Massachusetts, Bask, Inc. ("BASK" of "BASK Premium Cannabis"), hosted a ribbon cutting ceremony. BASK held the grand opening event at its medical marijuana dispensary in Fairhaven, MA on May 22, 2018.
AmeriCann formed an alliance with BASK as a Preferred Partner in Massachusetts in 2016 and BASK is scheduled to be the first business to operate in AmeriCann's Massachusetts Medical Cannabis Center ("MMCC"). This alliance makes AmeriCann the only publicly traded company that has an operating partnership with an open dispensary in the Massachusetts market.
The MMCC project is approved for 1 million square feet, which will be developed in phases and is expected to be one of the largest, most energy efficient and technologically advanced cannabis cultivation, processing, and research facilities in the nation. AmeriCann plans to replicate its technology and systems with expansion to other states.
BASK Premium Cannabis has been cultivating, processing and dispensing medical cannabis in a state-of-the-art 10,000 square foot facility in Fairhaven, MA. The newly constructed facility includes technology and systems that AmeriCann has identified for the MMCC project as part of AmeriCann's Cannopy System.
BASK has a diverse product offering for Massachusetts patients including topical balms and lotions, Transdermal patches, vape cartridges, concentrates, edible products and a full line of over 25 strains of dry flower cannabis. NBC Television affiliate WJAR recently toured BASK in advance of the grand opening.
"We have been developing our expansion plans with the support of AmeriCann and the innovation and scale of the Massachusetts Medical Cannabis Center will position our companies for tremendous growth," said Chapman Dickerson, CEO of BASK.
Massachusetts is transitioning from medical to full adult-use cannabis on July 1, 2018, and industry experts believe it will become the epicenter for cannabis innovation and research for the entire northeast US with annual sales of over $1 billion by 2020.
