TORONTO, Feb. 19, 2020 /CNW/ - PRESS RELEASE - The Green Organic Dutchman Holdings Ltd. (TGOD), a producer of certified organic cannabis, has announced that it has secured a research license from Health Canada.  Valid for five years, the license allows TGOD to reduce the cost and accelerate the pace at which it develops new products by eliminating reliance on third parties.

"As consumers become increasingly aware that not all cannabis products are created equal, we want to ensure that TGOD continues to go to market with consumables that bear a seal of premium quality that they can trust," commented Brian Athaide, CEO of TGOD. "By leveraging the expertise of our in-house Science and Marketing teams, we are able to optimize costs and accelerate our speed to market. In parallel, we are also layering on additional quality control measures ensuring a high level of consistency across all our product lines."

TGOD also intends to leverage the newly awarded Licence to complete the development of additional premium cannabis 2.0 products, which are expected to launch later this year.
